    Damn. I never thougth about this, but have you ever noticed that this kind of memes are basically a one huge strawman fallacy? No offence OP, just a sudden thought.

      How dare I post vegan memes in the vegan community right?

      All the fucking carnists in the comments with their meatsplaining have nothing better to do.

      How is this a straw man? I’ve literally had people tell me they don’t want to eat soy because of the estrogen, while they eat cheese and dairy products.

        I mean, any argument with an imaginary opponent is kinda a strawman if you think about it. I’m not doubting existence of such folks tho, there are lots of morons among people.

      My dad literally refuses to touch soy because of this. Yet he dines on dairy products. It’s not a strawman. It’s straight up relatable.

      Nah there are people genuinely out there spouting this, unfortunately a former friend of mine has become a tate/rogan person and this is one of the weird things spread around in those circles.
