  • Why do you say that? The idea of fame is that you don't need to pretend to be famous. So I wouldn't think this is common.

  • I appreciate that. It is indeed a problem that people don't learn things for themselves, but in this case I wasn't planning to accept any response as gospel. It was more of a poorly communicated "did I miss something?"

  • What a convoluted way to tell someone that you can’t counter their argument.

    Trolls think they have won when they say shit like this. Nope. You don't own any of my time and I am free to say when I think something is a waste of time.

  • No, it's not. It might seem impossible for society to improve, but that is the solution, and talking about it without telling people to just avoid certain avenues is the only way to that end.

  • Thank you. This is exactly the answer I was hoping for ^

  • Right. My question probably should have been "is this based on something he actually said or just a weird joke that I wouldn't get?"

  • I guess I have to caveat my phrasing even when it's super obvious what was meant. Everyone knows you could've found a single example of a vegan doing something bizarre, yet it wouldn't be remotely relevant unless it were at least a semi-popular trend.

    Hint: "everyone" in this comment doesn't literally mean every human in existence.

  • I know how to search the Internet but believe or not if someone posts something which may or may not be real, either they can respond accordingly or someone else easily can, as you just proved.

  • So there exists some group using a weird metaphor, and somehow that is just as representative of vegans as a video of how farming works is of farmers..?

  • Did he actually say this..?

  • If I have seen that, it wasn't a charity I've heard of, to my knowledge. Are you in the US?

  • I agree with your last line, but I wouldn't even be that mad about them taking credit if in the end, the money truly helped people and verifiably so. But when I see it, it's always "would you like to donate to needy families?" Making you the bad guy for saying no and denying all transparency here.

  • I don't think they ever disclose which charity the money goes to. That's the real problem here. I don't think it would be a bad thing at all to encourage small donations like that, I just have no trust my money is going somewhere I'd approve of.

  • Yeah, "just stop using social media" is an insanely stupid take that misses the point so hard it makes you wonder how someone distorted their perception so hard that they can even react that way.

  • Super intelligence on display.

  • "this image clearly shows weirder things than any vegan does"

  • They already are.

  • The innocent messenger just telling people how insanely expensive toys are not only affordable, but a good investment.
