As opposed to the extremely non-emotional arguments such as “But I like how meat tastes” and “cheese tho” and “for every animal you don’t eat I’m gonna eat two”?
Pretty much all political reasoning is emotional, but for some reason, only the “other side” gets emotional.
Wanting equality is an emotional reason. Wanting absolute freedom is emotional. Freedom of speech, aristocracy, fascism, anarchism, progressive income tax are all, if you keep asking “why?” emotional choices.
If, at any point, someone says something is good or bad, well, that’s emotional, simply because these are purely human categories that are not rational.
I don’t give a flying fuck about CO2. I care that you are murdering an animal and ending its life for no reason. Animals have rights including the right to live without your torturing them and mudering them. Everything else is out of scope for veganism. It is an ethical position advocating for the rights of animals, not a utilitarian calculation.
Please don’t call animals it, they are someone not something, changing the language around the oppression has a widespread knock on effect to changing people’s negative opinions towards non human animals
I’ll try but please also be considerate of other users and the fact English isn’t everyone’s native language. English isn’t my first or only language. I will try my best but I will make this mistake often because this is difficult and I am not contributing to animal suffering because my native tongue doesn’t make this distinction at all.
My native language that I only spoke until I was about 8 years old doesn’t make any distinction between gender or distinguish between living and non living objects. Everyone and everything is it and its lol.
You can feel free to police language on Wikipedia or bring awareness to this, and I said I would keep this in mind and try but I don’t really want anyone policing users who may not speak English natively or have learning disabilities.

This is a completely arbitrary point and makes no sense.
And what exactly is a logical reasoning?

Vegans: Violently killing animals for no reason, ruining the environment, destroying cultures with animals is both logically and empathetically wrong
Libs: BOTH SIDESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Please do this without resorting to an emotional motivation such as “People enjoy being alive and not suffering” or whatever.
Of course that’s emotional.
Reducing suffering is based on the idea that I don’t like suffering, therefore I don’t want others to suffer. That’s emotional.

Thank you, I appreciate that and I agree with you
You can use the pronouns he/him, she/her and they/them for the animals.

That’s fair enough, That’s a cool way of speaking. As I always love hearing about how languages are unique.
On another point Spanish and french have gendered words that are to keep track of lol.
