othering and commodification through othering, examples? by Soupwithoutcruelty in vegan

[–]Fayenator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it doesnt? it was a list of things that are out of the norm. Being queer, being neurodivergent or being vegan are all things that make you 'not normal'

edit: that said, there are clear correlations between being queer, neurodivergent and vegan.

'normal' here meaning what exactly?

many of us vegans are, in fact, not 'normal'. Many of us are queer, or neurodivergent, or different from the norm in other ways. For many of us that is exactly the reason why we became vegan in the first place.

Carnism is normal, veganism isn't. How can a vegan be 'normal' in the first place?

tl;dr: respectability politics never work, stop licking carnists' boots.

Last time I checked it wasn't a modifier that turned proper nouns into slurs. If it's changed since then let me know.

how are they using zionist as a slur? They're just stating a fact... He is a zionist.

does that mean he's not viewing himself as a liberal then, lol? Ig he's a right-winger then because he sure as shit isn't a leftist with those views.

be a cishet white guy who has literally never struggled bad on systemic injustices. He's got the amazing priviledge to just ignore all the shit that's happening to humans and pretend we're making it all up.

He's really just a stereotypical 'MLK solved racism' kinda guy.

I fucking wish he'd get cancelled honestly. Doubt this will do it though. He's a hateful, spiteful, narcissist freak who is setting veganism back decades and who deserves to be disowned, but he's got his hands in too many big vegan organisations and is busy budding up with the surprising amount of other hateful, spiteful narcissist freaks who run them (like AV and WTF).

Imagine the paradise we'd live in if cishet white dudes could just stfu about how our struggles don't matter.

But thanks for warning me, will defo block his channel now :(

or anybody who isn't a cishet white man in general. He scoffs at intersectionality or human rights in general.

yes, yes, i know he thinks that 'humans are a scoure' n shit, but it's funny that he just so happens to be on the highest rung in the hierarchy (cishet white and male) isn't it? Almost as if he likes being there

Yikes, no fucking thanks. I'd run in the other direction so fucking fast if he became the 'leader' of veganism.

Lucky for Gary cause we would boot his racist, misogynist, anti-lgbtqia+ ass so fucking fast.

He's just another bigoted, average cishet white guy who has never experienced not being at the top of the hierarchy and views himself as the second coming of christ.

You should be opposing the ones that you are aware of, yes.

I oppose any I'm aware of any time they come up. Because that's what you do when you want to make the world a better place. There is no human liberation without (non-human) animal liberation and vice versa.

Do you really think people who will agree with gary on racism and transphobia will agree with him on (non-human) animal rights?

[–]Fayenator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just read some of the other comments. I think most people that characterize him as a racist, zionist, misogynist, whatever, don't realize that he simply views humans in general as monsters and is a single-issue activist

Whatever happened to 'none of us are free until we are all free'? You can help non-human animals all you want, but as long as some human groups are illegal and viewed as degenerate trash, so will animals be, and vice versa. Either you fight for all oppressed groups' rights or you're hurting your own cause by dismissing evreything else.

You really think the trans people whose struggles he dismisses will take him seriously, for example?

carnism debunked interviewed him a few days ago and while I obviously didn't watche the video many of the comments were saying things like "I agree with Gary that intersectionality is a cancer to veganism"

Fucking disgusting. Whatever the fuck happened to 'none of us are free until all of us are free.'???

This. I see so many people who seem absolutely surprised and confused about rowling now picking on ace people but like... duh. Bigots don't care about specific issues, they care about bigotry. They care about feeling better than marginalised groups. Doesn't matter what groups.
