I just wanna say...

I don't really know how to feel about Questionable Content--partly due to my immediate prejudice against its views on vegans, and partly due to some of its overly cutesy self-satisfied indie/hipsterness mixed with its strangely non-ironic melodrama. So on the one hand, I don't really want to be seen as unconditionally promoting it

Oh god the last panel made me choke on my captain crunch, Damn you. :)

What's that? I'd read through to find it, but I have a trillion school related things I should be doing besides reading comics. *grin*

Well, there are several strips. Basically, it's not a very pro-vegan comic, in a somewhat stupidly annoying way.

I can't say I'm very pro-vegan myself. I mean all the ones in RL I've met are not nice to people who eat meat and make it this HUGE moral thing of it and accuse me of being a bad person. I already hate myself enough, I don't need someone making me feel bad because I eat something. (I'm lucky I can eat meat! My eating issues are insane. I'd die with out it.) I know this isn't true for all Vegans. My ex was a vegitarian and knew that everyone makes their own choices, and that's cool. But sadly in those I've encounted when it gets to the vegan point, it's war on the "evil" meat eaters. I bet the author has had the kind of experiences I have. It's sad those kind of people ruin it for others.

You haven't done a lot of writing, since I got here, on your veganism. I would love to get your take on things. You are very eloquent and thoughtful.

Well... I would just like to point out that for some vegans, since they honestly do see eating meat as murder, it's kind of hard to keep one's mouth shut. Same for a lot of pro-lifers. I try not to get upset when anti-abortionists make claims of murder, because in their opinion, that's what it is--and I'd be sad if people felt so contrained by social pressure to conform that they'd not speak out against something they saw as murder. I don't know about accusing others of being bad people, but if it's something you're passionate about, there's something to be said for not keeping quiet

Dude, I gained so much weight being vegan :) Not that it maters much anymore.

Also...glamourcorpse, if you're avatar is from "Outside, Over there" I think I'd just flip. Well-illustrated children's books are amazing.
