i’ve been reading thru hexbear’s code of conduct to make sure i don’t break any rules and one part of it confused me a bit. in the “topics that must be CW’d” section, one of the bullet points says the following:
“Violence towards animals or humans such as corpses and carnist products…”
in what context would you CW something with carnist products in them? is mentioning non vegan food by itself fine? does it apply to images or to text too? in what case would a comment/ post be removed to enforce this rule? i am not vegan (will go vegan eventually, i’m still adjusting to eating less meat) so i’m not sure how to follow the rule. any help is appreciated.
The main point for understanding the majority of the rules is to ask yourself, does this alienate a comrade? We have several vegan comrades on the site.

We got the rule because some of us would like a space where you’re warned before someone shows you gore.

Of course it is??? In what world is a charred, minced corpse not a depiction of violence. The fact that doesn’t even register as violence to you is heartbreaking.
gore is like blood and guts.
’s neck was gorey. a mortal kombat fatality is gorey. it’s not even a carcass, much less showing the slaughter or butchering.Been a while since I’ve seen a Hexbear self-destruct in the name of anti-veganism.
not trying to be anti-vegan any more than simply not agreeing is taken as “anti”, this is apparently a semantic disagreement about what “gore” means.
Just because the picture is of the corpse of one of the few animals you’ve been brainwashed to show apathy for doesn’t mean it’s not a corpse. I don’t see “a cheeseburger” I see a pile of fucking gore. You would too if you’d take off the blinders.

What the fuck is your problem? Quit this bad faith fucking anti-vegan trolling, asshole.
i genuinely couldn’t tell the difference between what you were saying and someone doing a caricature. like i said, it costs nothing to cw the cheeseburger. i don’t mind cw-ing the cheeseburger.
It’s generally images of meat, from what I’ve seen.
so pictures of raw meat must be CWd? yeah that makes sense
Definitely raw meat. If you check the food comm rules, any images containing animal products have to be spoilered, not sure about site-wide.
i see why that would be required. thanks for answering.
If you post cooked meat too it’s best to check as nsfw
Images of meat and dairy. Though I might also CW if you mention these things. I’ve given CWs in the mega when I mention cooking with meat or animal products.
Also discussing non vegan industries, that’s why most of Lukashenko speeches are CWed
It’s very simple: if your post contains a picture or description of food, you need to include a content warning that it includes food. Especially in the /c/food community. Any food could potentially be prepared using animal products, which could be hurtful to some comrades.
put a cw every time you mention food of any kind other than beans
And always uphold Beanis thought

what word was removed? i really wish we didnt have a word filter here, i think it impedes understanding and protects nobody
Most likely bluntly referring to the horrific sexual violence carnists support and commit.
cws for sexual violence, femicide
It was a criticism of the way the OP expressed interest, but not commitment to a vegan lifestyle. A comparison was made between OP and a person who still abducted and murdered women, but less than they used to, and was pledging to eventually stop entirely. The sexual violence was what was being committed to the hypothetical women in the metaphor, not the kind enabled by carnists.
We were just talking about the filtered word
why i'm not vegan
tried being vegan once, my health tanked, went back to meat and my health improved. i am not in the position in my life where i can gamble with my health again but i’m trying to at least eat less non vegan food. which is why i specifically added the (will go vegan eventually, i’m still adjusting to eating less meat) to the post.
If it was you being really really really tired it likely was B12 insufficiency. I had that and taking some remedied the situation.
Also what about the non-dietary aspects of veganism?
following what i can. ditched all the non dietary products that aren’t vegan (toiletries + buying new clothes, although i’m still unsure about buying non vegan second hand items). on a vegan diet my brain felt like it stopped working entirely. insane brain fog and hallucinations, had to double my meds to keep myself together. skin looked like i had jaundice and hair fell out in clumps. went to get my bloodwork done and everything seemed fine (even B12), but i decided to go back to carnism (still mostly plant based) and my health returned to normal. yes, i supplemented what was needed, but i guess it didn’t work. right now i’m working with my psychiatrist and nutritionist to slowly transition to at least being vegetarian, but i’m trying to be as careful as possible so to not fuck my body up again.
although i’m still unsure about buying non vegan second hand items
you might look into freeganism, there’s more to it but they’ll dumpster-dive animal products. seems more sensible to me in general.
