    Thanks for the link.

    I forgot how frustrating these people are. I’d love to read these comments but they’re filled with sentences like:

    I take seriously radical animal-suffering-is-bad-ism[1], but we would only save a small portion of animals by trading ourselves off 1-for-1 against animal eaters, and just convincing one of them to go vegan would prevent at least as many torturous animal lives in expectation, while being legal.

    Just say “I think persuading people to become vegan is better than killing them”?

    Why do you need to put a little footnote[1] to some literal fiction someone wrote about human suffering to make a point?

    Screw it, here’s that footnote:

    For a valid analogy between how bad this is in my morality and something that would be equally bad in a human-focused morality, you can imagine being born into a world with widespread human factory farms. Or the slaughter and slavery of human-like orcs, in case of this EY fiction [link omitted].

    Exqueeze me? You have to resort to some shit somebody made up to talk about human exploitation?
