making video games where you violently butcher animals to make burgers does not make people care about the animal abuse going on in the food industry, it just makes them angry that you would make such a game and target it towards children
aside from this, it seems peta’s biggest impact has been making the public convinced that their movement is taking animals out of shelters and euthanizing them, and it has been a great boon for meat industry lobbyist groups to have someone to point at whenever they get into a scandal from animal mistreatment
note: I am not anti-vegan (unless that means specifically c/vegan) or anti-animal-welfare (duh) but I am not vegan either (I am also not an industry shill lmao)
I hope I cooked with this one, I apologize if I have gotten anything wrong (in the case that I did cook, meme does not contain animal products)
meme is oc
As someone not following these things closely, that’s pretty much all I know about PETA: animal torture, killing while saying it’s for their own good
Kind of like a weird sect
Kind of like it’s been endlessly targeted in a smear campaign
I generally support veganism, vegetarianism, pescatarianism, flexatarianism, and just broadly encouraging people to decrease their meat consumption and make better choices about their dietary animal products. Factory farming conditions being only one of many important reasons I do so.
In my opinion, PETA has single handedly done more to impede constructive conversations about the above than any other organization I can think of. If I didn’t know better, I would assume it was formed by strategists for the meat industry.
Or has just been the target of an endless smear campaign than every edgy person loves to buy into and regurgitate
Peta is the Autism Speaks of its field. And vicee versa.
You are falling for animal industry propaganda against PETA
Sure but you’re overlooking why people are getting angry which is largely because it points out an uncomfortable truth. I also find it interesting that there’s an outrage from the “think of the children” crowd but like if showing children the reality of something is outrageous then surely the thing that is being showed should be considered outrageous too
you skipped over the part where PETA was infiltrated by a spy ring paid for by Barnum & Bailey and run by the former third highest ranking member of the CIA (who had been convicted of lying to Congress), using their operatives to, among other things, do and encourage behaviors that make the organization look extreme. this allowed it to be taken over by unstable fanatics and successfully destroyed its reputation
If “Pissing off normies,” was your only decision making tool
Just Stop Oil are another example of a group causing more problems for their cause than they solve.
