      You‘re getting downvoted but I agree with you. The joke in the image is funny, but the presence of these grey wolve emojis suggests affiliation with the Grey Wolves which are fascist. No debating that, I don’t get the other comments here.

        No they are not right. I can’t know the political views of someone in some shitpost, but the original grey wolf symbolim comes from Turkic mythology, which is today being co-opted by racist fucks. It still gets used ironically to make fun of those fucks (just like posting Musk’s Nazi salute doesn’t automatically make you a nazi if you are making fun of him).

        In addition, some people want to reclaim the symbolism, because it’s ancient mythology, why would we leave it to them, right?

          I agree with you there, but it’s hard to tell in a shitpost like this. So when in doubt rather avoid putting fascist ideology out there.

          The Nazis also didn’t invent the Swastika, it’s on a lot of temples in Asia. You don’t see me reclaiming it when I convert to Buddhism. Some symbols are just tainted. It sounds like giving in to far right trolls, but I’d rather spend my energy on worthwhile struggles.

      It’s more like fascists trying to steal a symbol ngl.

      Like highschoolers will have a phase where they use a wolf pfp online and talk about how they wished they were a horse archer for example.

      Not necessarily politics. The party “gray wolves” on the other hand is fucking openly fascist.

    My girlfriend is sometimes a turkey and she loves to be eaten. She asks to be eaten. Sometimes, when she’s really in need, she begs for me you eat her. I have no idea what the original post was talking about

    Has PETA ever asked lettuce if it gave consent to being eaten?

    I mean, I’m all for a decreased consumption of meat, but PETA’s methods don’t work.

    Genuinely shocked that no one drew a picture of a turkey with legs spread saying “I want to be eaten, Daddy” in reply to this.

    As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?

    Without looking into it further, I’m gonna guess the same reason I find a lot of people I agree with on a number of issues so insufferable: holier-than-thou, self-congratulatory, moral crusading.

    Just existing and being willing to answer people’s questions genuinely is way more effective. I literally never bring it up, people only find out by happenstance and often ask about it themselves. If they don’t, it’s not that interesting (in my opinion).

    Anecdotally, anyway.

      I mean, people who you believe to be morally right can still be irritating idiots. I’m not a vegan, but I get it. I have friends who are, I don’t say no to a vegan meal (unless there’s corn in it because that gives me an unpleasant time on the toilet). I do think PETA is fighting for something they believe in, and I think that’s admirable. I also think they’re annoying.

        Their tactics can be annoying and ridiculous, but I think that any honest assessment of why people generally find them annoying would admit that it’s people being reactionary. The whole “How do you know someone’s a vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you” is almost the exact opposite in reality: people can’t shut up about NOT being vegan.

          There’s truth in that for sure. I see it as a human thing, not a vegan/non-vegan one. We just love to be correct.

      Because they are terrorists.

      They fund other terrorists

      They kidnap and kill animals from loving homes.

      they “adopt” animals and immediately euthanize them.

      Often dumping the bodies from both into random dumpsters, when their enormous corpse freezer is full.

      They love putting naked women on display in cages and various other clearly fetishistic scenes.

      They are a group of extremists who do nothing but harm animal rights by their sheer existence and association with the subject.

      Meh it’s more equivalent to something like cowboys in the west.

      Like yeah far-right likes to use them for ads and pretend it’s their symbol but when Japanese spiderman show has a cowboy with skates it isn’t referencing “American far-right.”

        The Grey Wolves officially known by the short name Idealist Hearths , is a Turkish far-right political movement and the youth wing of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). Commonly described as ultranationalist, neo-fascist, Islamo-nationalist (sometimes secular), and racist, the Grey Wolves have been described by some scholars, journalists, and governments as a death squad and a terrorist organization. Its members deny its political nature and claim it to be a cultural and educational foundation, citing its full official name: Idealist Hearths Educational and Cultural Foundation.

        Maybe many use the symbol and they don’t know what it represents, but i don’t take it as an excuse. Same goes with many other fascist symbols.

    Turkeys don’t want to be eaten, but they get eaten anyway?

    Complete this sentence in any way it resonates with you:

    I don’t want to _____________, but I have to ____________ anyway.

    Because life’s not fair.
