It's funny to me how there were all these social justice causes who campaigned for different language use and it all got, in the very least, seriously debated, if not outright adopted, and then every time vegans try to piggyback on that success and say "well actually, this aspect of animal life is similar to human oppression, so if you care about that, you'll care about this!", and people laugh at it.
Because it's hilarious. Should I stop saying words that are offensive to groups of people because of their immutable characteristics? Yes, because that's rude and I'm not a rude person. Should I stop saying I'm going to beat a dead horse? I am not beating any horses and there is no horse alive who can understand that!
