Writing Tips: Armor Edition

Good lord, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Regardless, what follows is a non-comprehensive, entirely subjective list of advice on how to write characters with armor. This is based on my own experience with hockey equipment and is largely geared towards Star Wars Mandalorian-style armor (including clones and storm troopers), but could hypothetically be helpful to anyone.

If it's your armor, it's going to be so comfortable you won't even know it's there.

Actually, on that note, you'd notice right away if something was different. You'd also be thrown off by the absence of the armor, either in part or in its entirety.

When you wear armor a lot, you don't need to think about putting it on. It's instinctual.

It takes five minutes to put a set of armor on and fifteen minutes to bitch about it, catch up on locker room gossip, and realize that the insides of your boots aren't as dry as you thought they were.

Again with the putting on armor being instinctual thing... If you're distracted, worried, etc., it's not at all uncommon to forget a piece of your armor. You put it on in the same way every time, so sometimes your brain just... skips, and you end up with shinguards and no skates.

There are several ways to put on any given set of armor. It's a pretty flexible process, but there are some things that have to be done in a certain order.

That being said, everyone has their own "right" way of putting on armor. It usually doesn't vary much within a team or squad, but get a bunch of strangers together and you can bet your ass someone will start a fistfight over the order you put your tops on in.

Armor usually has some sort of padding system inside, especially if it's stiff. This is the part that gets sweaty and gross. It does not dry quickly, but it does get cold and slimy quickly.

With the sweat thing, weearing armor for an extended amount of time gets gross. If you're working out, you're going to get hot really easily (example: 20F ice rink + 2 hour practice = 20 people complaining about how hot it is). There are always parts of your kit that get really itchy and sometimes, the best way to scratch is actually to hit. If your character is wearing a helmet, have them punch themselves in the head repeatedly to scratch an itch.

Even grosser, the sweat that accumulates has nowhere to go. Under a helmet, this means that it occassionally escapes captivity and runs down your face in CLEARLY VISIBLE streams that sting your eyes and taste gross. Under parts of the kit like shin gaurds, you will often find an accumulation of white slime on the skin, clothes, and armor. This is salt from your sweat. It's gross. It looks like ectoplasm.

If you've been working out and you take your armor off, you'll be visibly steaming.

Hair under helmets. GOD, this is always how you can pick out a writer who's never worn a helmet. Lots of people who wear helmets often will cut their hair short, but there's a set of rules to it. If your hair is long enough to tie up, it stays up. All the time. Best styles are low ponytails or braids, as anything too high will probably be uncomfortable under a helmet. The real thing to pay attention to, though, is short hair. If you've got a character with short hair, make sure it's short enough to stay FAR away from their face. Hair in your face is the #1 cause of insanity in helmet-wearers. Shit that's hanging around your ears or, God for-fucking-bid, your chin, is a major no-go.

Thick hair is also a fun thing with helmets. If you've got thick and/or curly hair, you'll need more helmet space for it. If you've got hair that's notoriously a problem, the helmet is going to turn it into snarls. When I had long hair, I would put it in two braids every time I put my helmet on. Every time I took it off, I had to cut the hair ties out.

Hair will also make you hot and itchy under your helmet. Some people will wear skull caps or some other form of tight hat under their helmets to prevent this. Then again, I had a teammate who regularly wore waist-length, THICK box braids under her helmet and never had a complaint. Some people are just built different.

Helmet hair is not cute and fluffy. It's a flat, greasy mess. That being said, the concept of helmet hair is hot, so please continue writing this as you wish.

Armor can be a pain in the ass, but ultimately, when you wear it all the time, you form a deep emotional connection to your kit. Obviously, this varies from person to person, but it almost always plays a key role in your identity and often revolves around themes such as safety, body image, pride, privacy, protection, or sense of unity/team/family. (Side note: depending on the character, armor can also be an expression on individuality, rank, affilitation, or superiority)

Armor smells really bad. That's all I'll say on that topic.

Actually, no it's not. Some people's armor smells REALLY bad. Like, extremely bad. It's a problem. Other people take really good care of their armor or magically don't sweat, so theirs smells better.

If your character is on the move a lot, they probably have some sort of bag for their kit. This bag will be full of the most random shit you can possibly imagine. Socks enter and never return. Some people carry around extra shirts. Isn't that my water bottle? Is that an orange or a rock?

Upgrading armor is a big deal. People agonize over what to get, where to get it, whether or not they can make it, how much it's going to cost, and whether or not to spend three months of pay on it for MONTHS.

Really old, ill-fitting, broken, or otherwise subpar pieces probably have a story to them. They might be good-luck pieces or a long-running joke. Sometimes, you just forget to buy a new jockstrap for four years (not that I would know from personal experience).

If your characters wear helmets a lot, they probably head-butt each other a lot. It's the easiest way to show affection through gear. Other ways include fist bumps, picking each other up by the back of the chest plate, and grabbing the front of someone's helmet (if there's a way to do that, of course). Fist bumps are less personal and helmet-grabs usually denote a superior-inferior relationship [think of it like "I could beat your ass" (affectionate)].

Some people like to keep their kit flawless. They don't like marks or dents. Other people (most people, actually) prefer the look of "broken in" gear. It's a mark of experience and also, it's actually kind of nervewracking to work with a new kit. No one wants to be the first one to scratch the $400 skates.

There will always be a piece of armor that pinches you. It's probably on your elbow.

There will always be a piece of your armor that comes unfastened. It's probably on your elbow.

Loose armor is much harder to move in and much less protective than tight armor. It might seem counterintuitive at first, but you want the most form-fitting kit possible.

That's pretty much all I've got to say about armor. As always, if you've got something to add, don't be afraid to leave it in a reblog or comment. I hope you all enjoyed me once again turning my skating into writing advice!

"why are angels in suits and archangels in ratty jeans" do you think maybe archangels have something that resembles free will, something regular angels have to struggle a lot to discover within themselves? (yes I read all your tags)

I’m not sure the two things are linked, though? Or linked in that exact way, ie free will automatically leads to freedom to customize your accessories?

Like, if we’re talking clothes, the most striking examples are Michael and Lucifer and how their fashion sense seems to evolve with their vessel.

There could be many reasons for this. Most likely, it’s just a narrative way of showing a clear difference between Dean (or Sam) and their possessed versions, because the fact is, both Lucifer and AU!Michael used to dress in a very similar way to real!Dean and real!Sam, so without the change in clothes, both actors and viewers would have a much harder time telling them apart.

(The interesting exception, of course, is Cas. See below for more speculation.)

As for in-story logic, there are a couple of fashion-related points we can make.

First of all, both in Supernatural and IRL, suits embody a kind of willing submission to your role in society, and what your superiors think and want. While most lines of work have compulsory or traditional ‘uniforms’, suits are not dictated by practical or safety reasons. They simply signal you don’t work with your hands and you get (or hope to get) something of a decent salary. What’s particularly striking about suits is that, on the whole, they’re not really a good choice as ‘standard wear’ for tertiary jobs? Like - for one, most suits just don’t fit the wearer’s body very well. You walk around and you see a lot of people (basically all the women because boobs and curves, but also many men) who just look awkward and cheap. There’s a reason why ‘getting a bespoke suit’, complete with standing on ridiculous tiny podium with four Italian tailors shaking their hands at you is such a popular movie trope and generally shorthand for ‘you’ve made it’, and it’s because off-the-rack suits tend to suck - they fall weirdly on your body, might pull at your joints, and generally look really bad. If you’re Benedict Cumberbatch, you could probably find someting suitable even in Asda, but then again, if you’re Benedict Cumberbatch you’d look good in a sandwich wrapper, so that’s a moot point. And another thing is that suits are incredibly high-maintenance, even if Supernatural pretends otherwise?

(And that’s another of those ‘black spaces’ we all watch with such rapt attention, by the way, because the boys wearing suits so often implies someone - *coughs* Dean *coughs* - spends a sizable portion of his time buying and looking after those clothes, and probably has a whole room in the Bunker full of fluffy fabric and costumes.)

Anyway - you need to fold them neatly and iron the shit out of them (and ironing shirts, that’s fun) and depending on the fabric every time you fucking move they fucking crease? And finally (I mean, I could go on because I hate them, but you know), finally they’re generally the reflection of an entitled, arrogant society which doesn’t take into account nature or weather. Like, people in suits may look all cool and unruffled inside their fancy AC-ed banks, but try wearing your bespoke woolen monstrosity on the tube, or outside on a summer afternoon, and you’re not likely to come out alive. So where manual workers are mostly forced to wear the same thing year-round to protect themselves from injury (or because their clothes need to be boiled when washed), and other professionals (like teachers) will adapt their wardrobe to seasons and mood, people who’re forced to wear suits truly represent the end of individuality, personality, and choice.

(Our national bank and our biggest insurance will police everything down to your bra, nail polish and make-up, so while there are people who genuinely enjoy wearing suits - I guess - I’d say for most it’s not really a choice.)

And the sad thing is, we’ve all accepted this as a good & worthy thing: buying your first suit is a sign you’re all grown up, and even if you’re not a corporate slave, you’ll be expected to wear suits at important meetings, weddings and funerals (hell, I know I’ve got a couple in my closet, so I’m not claiming any moral high ground here). What’s even more perverse, and also chimes in with the Supernatural universe, is that true wealth doesn’t give a rat’s ass about suits. As with other stuff, from dead languages to meditation to how well you treat your inferiors, there’s a wide gap between those who think they’re the upper class and the real upper class. This is a detail that often goes unnoticed, both IRL and in fiction, but a show like Billions, for instance, explored it to perfection: most characters will be in suits all the time, because the background is the financial world, but not Axe, our main character, who’ll choose jeans and leather jackets (which probably cost more than your house, and okay, but still: the key is comfort and non-conformity).

(See also: Chuck in his second-hand jacket vs. his archangels preening up and buying stupid stuff as soon as they fall in line.

Or: Chuck wearing whatever the hell he likes while his theoretically more powerful sister is stuffed into luxurious and revealing clothes, complete with pastel nail polish.)

Coming back to Supernatural, this is something of a pattern: normal angels are (almost) always in suits. Cas has a shabby suit hidden by his trademark trench coat - a fashion choice which has many reasons (chief among them, that John Constatine thing) but ends up representing the character’s dilemma and his push towards free will and a different kind of belonging. Both Michael and Lucifer dress shabbily when they’re not following Heaven’s plan, and suit up as soon as they manage to fulfill their expected roles. Raphael, the only archangel to be 100% loyal to the task he was assigned, is always shown in a suit.

(Gabriel, who never fit in, lived and died (twice) in his own personalized wardrobe.)

Something else that’s a headcanon of mine is that angels, generally speaking, don’t give a damn about human stuff because they’re not equipped to understand it. Like, Crowley is susceptible to the joys of a well-cut suit, and also painfully aware of its meaning (as an illiterate, illegimate child of a socially rejected mother, belonging and riches is what he dreamed about, and it’s not a surprise he chose to be apprenticed to a tailor); then again, he’s a demon, not an angel, which means he’s got a deep layer of tortured humanity informing his thoughts and his decisions. On the other hand, what does a suit mean to someone like Lucifer, who’s older than balls, considers humans to be a mistake and the scum of the Earth and is used to see their fashion sense change dramatically every few seconds (to an immortal, fifty years must look like one or two minutes)? No - to Lucifer, and Michael, and possibly Gabriel, the main problem is that they’re not in their rightful vessels; and, as we’ve seen very clearly in Lucifer’s case, the consequences can be irritating and very, very dramatic. So it makes sense, in a way, that they’d focus on keeping their vessels’ skin in one piece without bothering with anything else? Like, Nick!Lucifer changing into a nice Armani would be like a guy being rushed to the ER for organ failure insisting on silver cufflinks on his hospital gown.

(That’s also why, I think, Lucifer never bothered to change anything about Cas’ appearance when he was possessing Cas? It was a way of 1) cutting down his workload, 2) annoying the hell out of Sam and Dean and tricking them for as long as possible and 3) refusing to claim ownership of a vessel Lucifer probably considered dirty and beneath him.)

As a final thought, I always had a problem with that whole ‘angels have no free will’ thing, because the show & tell on that one never matched all that well. I mean: the only angel whose journey we truly witnessed was Cas, and even with Cas, it’s stated outright he always had plenty of free will and a boatload of feelings and opinions - to the point where he had to be reprogrammed several times. Mostly other low-level angel we’ve seen, though, have displayed a remarkable sense of self and very disinct preferences: from Balthazar who did his own thing to hippy!angels who wanted to camp by a river, to Ishim who went against orders to get laid, to Gadreel who took an awful lot of independent decisions, to his subtextual husband/textual parabatai who’d chosen a suburban human life, all the way to Naomi (the highest in hierarchy) and to that cute angel in glasses (the lowest of the low, and rip). So while the ‘tell’ part of this story was always more or less consistent (‘angels can’t understand emotions, can’t make their own choices, Cas is the lone exception’), the ‘show’ part mostly fell short of that message: with the exception of the suit as shorthand for brainlessness and obedience, angels never acted like the brainwashed robots they were supposed to be. In fact, you could even argue that the only two angels who’re pig-headedly determined to follow the path Chuck traced for them are, ironically enough, Michael and Lucifer.

I found myself scrolling through the #Bioware hashtag this evening for some unholy reason (after avoiding it for years like the plague), and honestly . . . there are more people in that tag whining about the fandom than actual fans do anything wrong.

So people complain about Bioware and their video games? So fucking what?

Spoiler Alert: nerds complain about video games.

It's our favorite pastime.

After coming to tumblr almost three years ago and seeing just how shitty and toxic the fandom was, I learned it was pretty easy to avoid that shit once you got the lay of the land (i.e. which crappy blogs to avoid). Your tumblr experience depends mostly on who you follow.

And if you can't handle shitty messages in anon, just do what I did and turn them off. It's just too bad you can't turn off tumblr's stupid private chat feature, because I get way too many people being rude to me there. To the point that I just don't read messages anymore.

But yeah. People are allowed to have negative opinions about the shit you love. Welcome to life.

Also, it's not the elves that Bioware hates. It the indigenous people they represent.

Dragon Age does nothing but demonize and crap on the Dalish. Over and over. Because they think indigenous people in real life are scum.

Maybe you're too young to understand that. Maybe you just don't have a real grasp on racism. But for everyone who's seen this shit before, we can recognize it.

Believe me, I didn't believe it either until I really started paying attention to how the Dalish are depicted in each game. Inquisition brings that underlining theme of Manifest Destiny to the forefront, but it's a racist theme that was always there.

The hatred was more subtle in Origins yet became shitfuck obvious in Inquisition. So it makes me very tired every time someone makes a post going on about how much Bioware must "love" the elves just because they've made their lore the main focus.

You understand it's possible to fetish a people's culture and want it for yourself even while hating the people who belong to it, right?

Hence the way only white humans in Dragon Age (the Avvar) are allowed to be tribal, worship spirits, practice magic, and at the same time are depicted as nuanced people, while the elves are almost exclusively depicted as cruel savages, snobs, blood mages, demon worshipers, and have been so stripped of all humanity by the last game that it's impossible to sympathize with them any longer.

The elves are depicted as inferior fuckups and humans are always presented as better. Morrigan is "better" than Merrill with eluvians, Morrigan knows more about the Dalish than an actual Dalish Inquisitor, Mythal would rather entrust her spirit to a human, the Dalish in The Masked Empire are too stupid to unlock the eluvian (to let Solas out) and yet, Briala the City Elf and Michel the Human can open it just like that, because humans and elves who have assimilated into human culture are superior to those dumb pagans!!!

The elven Grey Warden Iselya made the griffons go extinct. But her brother ended the Blight, so I guess even an elf can't fuck up simply DYING.

Elves are always dying in droves because they are presented as irrational and stupid by throwing themselves against the player for seemingly no reason, all so that white people -- sorry, I mean the player -- can absolve themselves of any wrongdoing when they commit genocide OVER and OVER in each game.

The elves asked for it! Why can’t they just surrender!

Slaughtering entire groups of indigenous people and then going, "Well, it was irrational of them to fight me. Why be angry that I invaded their land, raped their wives, outlawed their religion, and stole their children!" is the entire essence of Manifest Destiny.

Manifest Destiny: indigenous people are violent, irrational, inferior, can't achieve a damn thing without fucking up, and thus must be put out of their misery. Manifest Destiny. It's the belief that indigenous people are inferior and that killing them is so sad and beautiful because it's "for their own good."

Dragon Age is FULL of poems that romanticize the deaths of elves (mainly the original Dalish) who refused to surrender to human invasion and were "regretfully" slain by humans who begged them to stop fighting.

Yeah. The Dalish should have just surrendered. They should have just not been so proud! Why not just give in and become wage slaves in alienages who aren't allowed to worship their own gods? Their gods are demons anyway!!!

Solas, an elven god, is the embodiment of indigenous foolishness and pride. Because naturally, the elves were foolish for not simply submitting to human rule! Solas, a god, is so inferior that he can't even open his own fucking foci and needs the originally-human-Inquisitor to do it for him.

Only humans can do anything right in Dragon Age.

The Inquisitor was originally going to be a HUMAN who wielded the anchor better than Solas. The only reason they added races in at the last minute? A bunch of fans said they would not buy Inquisition if they were forced to play human -- AGAIN.

So while Bioware has an obvious fetish for indigenous culture, they could give less than a shit about indigenous people, and are perfectly willing to strip them of all humanity game after game, to the point that even ex-Dalish elves (Sera (arguably), Minaeve, and Dalish of the Chargers) hate and despise the Dalish as well.

We are not meant to sympathize with the elves. They are supposed to be buffoonish "inferiors" whose foolishness destroyed themselves and the old world -- true to Manifest Destiny and delusions of white superiority.

Canadians are super racist against their indigenous people, and this translated into Dragon Age. Unfortunately.

It took me a long time to make sense of this, as I didn't know much about First Nations people or Canadians (we didn’t really study them much in my anthropology classes). But now, after doing some reading, it all makes perfect sense.

Canadians only value First Nations people who have assimilated into white culture, thus the city elves in Dragon Age are treated ten times better by the narrative than the Dalish. Thus, we have Varric in Trespasser giving Clan Lavellan the opportunity to forget their own shitty pagan culture and assimilate into human culture. This is seen as a good thing that "helps" the Dalish: erasing their culture like it's inferior and being human is preferable.

So yeah, Patrick Weekes. Your wife being First Nations doesn't make you any less racist for everything that was done and said about indigenous elves in Inquisition by your hand.

And of course, David Gaider is racist too: he created the original lore that made the Dalish out to be inferior in the first place.

But silly me. Bioware "loves" the elves so much. That's why their culture is center focus, to the point of being handwaved as inferior demon worship.

Look For A Used Cisco Vendor

With a used Cisco vendor, you should get Cisco switches, routers and other networking equipment at up to 90% off the retail price. The equipment should be backed by a top guarantee that is as good as or better than for brand new Cisco equipment. For example, the typical level of warranty to look for should be a 3-year warranty with advance equipment replacement services for the first year. With a strong warranty like this, you will have extended coverage, the unrivaled performance of fully-refurbished network hardware, and of course, peace of mind with regards to your investment. Sell cisco

Best Practices for Used Cisco Buyers

You want to save on your I.T. expenditures, and you figure that acquiring refurbished Cisco equipment could be a viable option. But you are a newbie; you have never procured used Cisco before, and it is difficult to ascertain what characteristics are important in a seller. You are concerned that you might be taken advantage of... someone could unload a useless, poor-performing lemon that ends up costing the company money. Perhaps you are thinking about buying on an online auction which could carry high risk and no guarantee that you're going to get what you paid for or that the equipment is actually what is advertised. These are all very logical fears. However, with thorough up-front investigation and attentiveness, it is likely that you will find a trustworthy vendor who can give you advice on how to stretch your budget as far as it can go. Following are some critical items to consider when searching for a seller to supply superior used Cisco hardware for your network infrastructure:

Is the refurbished Cisco hardware covered with a comprehensive warranty?

If a seller is not willing (or able) to guarantee the used Cisco equipment with a pledge, that should be a red flag that it may not perform as promised. You should always seek out a dealer that provides a warranty for several years; this will help to ensure that the equipment has been restored to like-new condition. An important aspect of the warranty should be an advance replacement clause so that you can receive replacement equipment, if necessary, as quickly as possible. A retailer that is ready to support your purchase an extended warranty is confident that they are supplying quality used Cisco networking gear.

Does the equipment dealer have a hardware replacement program available?

An honest and dependable merchant should have enough confidence in the thoroughness of the hardware renovation to provide a replacement program for the Cisco equipment. As a purchaser, you ought to have the assurance that a replacement program gives you, if you feel inclined to opt for it. If the seller does not have any sort of replacement program, it could be a sign that the firm really does not have faith in the value of the used Cisco equipment. They may consider a hardware replacement program as a losing venture with too much risk for the company.

Used Cisco at a price too good to believe?

The odds are that, if the price seems too low compared to the market, it probably is not even worth the asking price. A dealer that sets a price so low that it seems like an unbelievable bargain, they may be unloading inferior equipment or possibly selling gray market or even imitation gear. Cisco products are counterfeited very frequently. Vendors who sell used Cisco must pay extra for authentic Cisco equipment, so the lowest price should concern you - especially if the price is TOO low. The lowest price is not always a bargain; the quality and performance of the equipment is more important.

Is the vendor's quality control evaluated and certified by a neutral third-party?

Any renovation of high-performance electronic equipment, like any other detailed technical procedure, should have quality control measures in place. The process should be protected and assured by an inspection and quality management system that guarantees redundant processes, accuracy and dependability all along the way. Ask a dealer if their refurbishing procedures are certified by a third-party source like ISO (International Organization for Standardization). Quality assurance, calibration of testing equipment and redundancy in each step of the process greatly increases the chances of getting a top-notch product at the end. Check to see whether the equipment merchant has an ISO-certified quality control process. Any company can claim that their processes and procedures are sound and their testing is rigorous, but ISO-certified quality control ensures that it has been validated by a recognized organization.

Does the vendor use methods and materials to prevent electrostatic discharge?

This may seem like a minor point at first glance, but this little thing can ruin a piece of equipment in the flash of a spark. Even air moving across a surface can create static electricity. ESD (Electro-static Discharge) is the voltage generated when two surfaces come in contact and then move apart, causing a spark that can range from several hundred to several thousand volts. It happens all the time, and even a small discharge of such voltage can destroy the precision components within high-tech networking equipment. It is crucial to ask your equipment dealer what things do they have in place to make sure the refurbishment, storage and shipment of the used Cisco hardware all takes place within an ESD-shielded environment.

Link

I’ve been told to watch this pathetic excuse of a video during an argument, now I’d like some of my brain cells back. I couldn’t sit through more than fifteen minutes of this shit, it was just too tiring and tedious (I started around 8 and it’s past 11.30pm here right now). I think I made my point anyway, it’s a good prediction that the rest will be as piss-poor as the first quarter.

For clarity’s sake, I’ll be bolding the minutes, “quoting the guy” normally and putting up the “anti-vegan arguments he quotes” in italics.

1) “remains of murdered animals”? The term “murder” refers to unlawful killing of a person, stop using it for shock value.

2) It’s “barbaric insanity” to eat meat? since when? People have been eating meat for thousands, if not millions, of years. Before animal husbandry was a thing, it was from hunts (when successful) and carrion. Civilized and sane people eat meat because it provides a bunch of elements I won’t bother detailing right now.

3) “moral superiority of veganism” ...lol okay, I guess people with iron or cholesterol deficiency are morally inferior.

4) We’re at the one-minute mark and there’s already some shitty chart that puts going vegan on the “reasonable” extreme.

5) "genocide” is killing off people for belonging in a certain group, not to eat their remains (that’d be cannibalism). Once again, a word has been repurposed for the sake of shock value and to make meat-eaters sound like monsters. This bitch just equated animal slaughter with the war crimes committed by the Nazi. Does that sound “reasonable to anybody? because it’s not.

6) “indoctrination” ...oh? You claiming to be superior and misusing words to manipulate the viewer isn’t “indoctrination”, I presume? I’ve heard that from extremists of all types, including the Islamists ruling my own birth country (Turkey).

7) “speciesism”? Literally every single animal prioritizes their own kind over others! Is that so fuckin hard to grasp? no, it isn’t! it’s basic survival instinct. We humans are animals, we aren’t above cows or sheep or chickens when it comes to instinct. We use other species because we’re animals just like them, not because we’re superior in any way.

8) Since we only eat the muscles, it’s completely logical to put the rest to good use. We’ve barely hit the two-minute mark out of 63.5 and I’m already sobbing from the stupidity of it all.

9) “indoctrination” again? Your digestive tract doesn’t give two fucks about your morals or propaganda. It’s adapted to the meat-eating that’s been occurring in your family tree for millions of years. Following tradition that suits your biology isn’t fucking “indoctrination”, it’s being logical.

10) You’re comparing use of animals to human exploitation. I’m not saying the meat industry is all rainbows and singing, but... really?

11) “psychopathic indoctrination” WELP! now you combined a misused word with your compulsive, hypocritical accusation. Two words, each representing an aspect of your inability to be coherent. Good fucking job, mate, keep up that attitude.

12) Since when is there “a taboo against criticism of animal abuse” or criticism of religion? Now I have ample evidence that you’re either delusional or manipulating people. We’re at the three-minute mark and you managed to add paranoia to the list.

13) “plants are sentient” Science says they are, mate. There’s ample evidence that plants have a chemical reaction to getting harmed, and thus “it can feel pain” isn’t a valid excuse to not eat animals.

14) And lol “vegans are condescending”, of course we say that because you very clearly are. Arguing your superiority based on a lifestyle choice you can afford to make; if that’s not condescending, I don’t know what is.

15) “I need animal products to be healthy” is the most valid reason to not go vegan. If you think that’s just a knee-jerk “pathetically weak” argument to hate vegans, you’re a moron (but we already knew that, didn’t we kids?)

16) “dense cluster of pathetically weak argumentation, driven by fear of change and indoctrinated delusion”, “usually deployed in rapid fire, one after another, ad nauseum, until the vegan grows tired and gives up” ...I’m adding projection to the list haha~

17) So we’re at the four-minute mark, and with barely less than a full hour remaining, you’re only now starting to actually counter anything. Oh me, if all your counterarguments are like the previous, this should be goooood~

18) ...aaaaaand you already brought the “holocaust” bullshit and the arrogance back right away. I’d like to remark you still haven’t actually contributed anything to the discussion.

19) Your first argument boils down to: “redefining morality in a certain way doesn’t work because I can redefine it another way”. That’s funny, because you (and morons like you) have been redefining words to your convenience for a long time. There’s no “double standard” or “contradiction”, the definition of a word doesn’t have to include anything other than what’s in the definition. That’s what a definition fucking is, it tells you what is or isn’t covered by that word. Whaddya know, you managed to cram all of this nonsense between four and five minutes.

20) “Morality doesn’t exist” Sounds to me like you’ve been cherry-picking the worst anti-vegan arguments. Too bad your counter is equally weak here - even if morals didn’t exist, we still would hesitate to kill humans because survival of the species means we prioritize humans over animals.

21) Just past six minutes, you’re bringing up concern for the well-being of sentient beings. Does that mean you support people who eat meat because their doctor tells them to? Does that mean you’re against people forcing vegan diets on their dogs, creatures whose diet is mainly meat? I think, with number 15 up above, we already know the answer to that.

22) What you sum up as “self interest” and “arbitrary lines” are the self-preservation I described in number 7, the one you called “speciesism” because somehow it’s discrimination when humans do it.

23) At the seven-minute mark, “logical consistency doesn’t apply to morality” ...you’re the last person to criticize someone for arguing inconsistent logic lol

24) Once again, your “anthroperipheric” definitions fail because, unlike the “anthropocentric” ones, they leave out survival of the species. Morality may be subjective, but that doesn’t mean it’s 100% subjective; the “survival of the speices” aspect sure isn’t. That’s why killing other humans is called “murder” and considered a serious offense, whilst killing animals for consumption isn’t.

25) Oh-kay, now you made a mental leap from “killing X for consumption” to not “caring about X’s well-being”. Just because I eat meat doesn’t mean I don’t care how those animals are treated. Instead of arguing your “moral superiority” and strength, how about you encourage people to buy from a select few, non-abusive places? You had enough time on your hands to compile all this shit instead of doing something to stop the abuse. Something tells me you don’t actually care about those sentient animals’ well-being, as much as your image as a “morally superior” human.

26) We’re at eight minutes, I identified more errors in your logic than you were claiming to present; more are coming. According to that list, you're preparing to dismiss the opinion of a doctor as well as a person’s experience with morals.

27) “...not a single death or health problem attributed to veganism.” There are loads of health problems attributed to veganism. Just because you haven’t looked them up doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

28) You don’t know the diet of those athletes. It’s a good bet they’re taking loads of supplements to compensate for lack of animal foods intake. Unless they just happen to have access to all (and not just some) of the other foods, in enough abundance to compensate. Either way, they’re also being accompanied by personal trainers, medical professionals and a slew of other experts. Last time I checked, the common human being wasn’t as closely monitored; you occasionally visit a doctor you share with dozens of other people.

29) I just made it past nine minutes, not sure I should congratulate myself. You just looked up the general types of nutrient we need, whilst trying to “counter” an argument about specific nutrients. Even if you’d found foods containing the stuff you need, there’s no guarantee there’ll be enough of that thing in your diet. Most people don’t have the time to spend hours eating, they’re too busy running businesses or transporting people or doing surgery etc.

30) Exactly ten minutes of bullshit, we’re encountering the second decent counter of the entire video. I’ve yet to hear the “blood type” argument from meat eaters, to be honest, but I do agree it’s silly. In my knowledge, there’s no real link between the antigens on your red blood cells’ membrane and the types of foods you require. That depends on your ancestors’ diet, which (like I explained in 9) includes animal products for many of us.

31) You really think there are no health issues associated with veganism? <- that link took me five seconds to find. You talk about “burden of proof”, but you refuse to shoulder any of it yourself. You mock people for not having the muscle strength to type a search in Google, yet you won’t do it either.

32) “...none of them actually provide evidence that veganism can’t support their health.” Those arguments... literally ARE the evidence you demand. Are you sure you aren’t really just trying to make yourself look like a total moron? Because you’ve more than succeeded in the first eleven minutes of this video, the remaining 52mins can go home.

33) “vegetables don’t make you sick” no, but eating only vegetables can.

34) "Carcasses” don’t make you sick, eating them in excess does. See? I can reverse your arguments too. But where your counters ignore things that’re convenient to you, mine doesn’t.

35) Does IBS stand for irritable bowel syndrome? because that’s just a blanket term that covers a variety of different symptoms and ailments. I can think of a number of conditions that can make it harder to absorb nutrients from plants, or react more positively when animal proteins are present.

36) “Unless you’re actually in the situation, you can’t appeal to it...” and after twelve minutes: “you can’t appeal to hypothetical situations that you aren’t in...” Does that mean your previous arguments 27, 28, 31, 32 and 35 aren’t valid? I’m sure it does unless “logical consistency doesn’t apply to morality” for you. Also, good job bringing up the misuse of “murder” and “genocide” as buzzwords for your conveniency.

37) We’re controlling animal populations because, well, they reproduce enough to compensate for the losses. We don’t kill off humans because, unlike non-sapient animals, we have birth control. Besides, if we let deer populations grow, they won’t die off quickly and balance themselves; they’ll first eat all of the plants they normally eat (practically to extinction) and then starve to death. Does that sound like a moral alternative to hunting them? what about the well-being of those sentient creatures?

38) At the thirteen-minute mark now, you sure seem to love the words “murder” and holocaust”.

39) The... planet... will be destroyed because we kill animals? The planet has managed itself perfectly, even after meteor impacts and supervolcano eruptions. At this point, you’re treating humans like some sort of almighty demonic force.

40) “this argument could be made for slavery” ...centuries ago, yes; is that the time you’re living in? Because I’m sure I heard you imply, in your introduction, that those times were less complex and ethically inferior.

41) Farm animals had been bred over hundreds of generations to live alongside humans, rely on us to meet their basic needs (food, protection...). It’s perfectly reasonable to expect that, if released, they’ll either seek human company (and overwhelm people in the process) or get quickly killed off by predators in the wild. Even if it happens gradually and they don’t go extinct, there’ll still be suffering.

42) I just reached fourteen minutes, I wish I hadn’t agreed to watching the video. While you’re right that the extremes “animal apocalypse” and “animal extinction” can’t occur at the same time and place, there’s nothing preventing them from occurring in that order, and/or in different places.

43) “Clearly, there are still natural habitats in which our farmed animals can exist” and get killed in by predators. Which could then proliferate to excess, eating more and more prey until it runs out, then starving to death. We’ve already considered this scenario for herbivores in 37, didn’t we children?

44) The harmful practices you’ve brought up have been criticized by researchers, so now there are efforts to regulate and even forbid them. But agriculture itself isn’t to blame, and some of the things you list (such as deforestation and pollution) aren’t limited to animal farming. You even cover this when you mention the need for extra space for plant culture at fifteen minutes, yet you feel compelled to bring it up as a separate argument?

lol I’m so done

Dog-Mom Shaming Is Real, and It’s Ridiculous

I take being a “pet parent” very seriously.

I’d been dying for a dog of my own since the day I went to college and left my childhood Pug behind with my parents. But because I grew up with an appreciation of dogs and an understanding of how much time and energy they require, I didn’t just willy-nilly pounce on a puppy the first chance I got.

I knew I needed a schedule that was flexible enough for me to do right by the dog. I needed to live somewhere suitable for a four-legged friend, and I needed to be confident that everywhere I lived after that would be pet-friendly. I also needed to be able to commit to training, raising and caring for an animal over the course of their life.

It took over a decade for all the stars to align, but boy was it worth it! This past November, my husband and I got Zeke, a red Golden Retriever puppy who (surprise, surprise!) I am completely obsessed with. He gets all of his vaccinations exactly when the vet recommends, eats quality food and gets plenty of exercise. He’s a well-socialized puppy-kindergarten graduate who is loved and adored by all who know him.

My point, in telling you all this, is that having a dog is a responsibility I don’t take lightly. Like most pet parents, I adore my little man and care deeply about his well-being. I try my hardest to take the best possible care of him. Of course, I’m not perfect, and neither is Zeke, but as long as he’s happy, healthy and well adjusted, everything’s OK—right?

Not according to the dog-mom shamers.

Yes, you read that right: Dog-mom shamers, like those of the human variety, have a way of making others feel inferior about their own parenting for no good reason. I knew about human-mom shaming long ago thanks to friends and Facebook, but I didn’t realize dog-mom shaming existed until I found myself on the brink of puppy parenthood.

How you acquire your future family member is a touchy topic. If you say you’re adopting from a shelter, prepare for an onslaught of “you don’t really know what you’re getting that way” as well as stories about a friend of a friend’s rescue disaster. On the flip side, if you buy your dog from a breeder, you have to defend yourself for not adopting a dog. And even if you know for sure you’re working with a reputable breeder, there will be one or two “puppy mill” comments directed your way.

And just wait until you actually have your four-legged family member! The dog-mom shaming continues at the pet store and puppy playgroup. Depending on where you live, the “right” doggy diet can be natural, raw or grain-free; meaty or vegan; canned or kibble—you name it. But if you’re feeding your pup something different than what’s on the another mama’s menu, brace yourself for a lecture on proper nutrition and how you could be depriving your dog of it.

Training is a contentious topic, too—some puppy parents are against the use of “aversives” (prong collars, spray bottles, invisible fences, etc.) and will take other dog mamas to task for using them. Flexi leashes are fun or fundamentally dangerous, depending on who you talk to. Potty training isn’t a science—it’s an art, and regardless of what any self-appointed potty gurus try to tell you, different approaches and timelines work better for some dogs than others.

There are even fur mamas in the #InstaDog community (here’s Zeke’s account) who put down other puppy parents for not sharing the “right” kind of photos. A few weeks ago, I came across one dog mom’s lengthy rant about seeing pictures of “lazy” pets taken from their owners’ couches rather than ones of them enjoying themselves outside. Now, I don’t actually know this particular pet parent, but as someone who takes far too many pictures of Zeke lounging about while we’re in the den, I couldn’t help but feel defensive.

I wanted to clap back and say that when I’m outside with my dog, I’m playing with him—not taking his photo. Did fetch not happen if I didn’t get it on video? Is a hike in the woods null and void without a proper hashtag? Of course not, but the thing is, there’s no need for me to prove I’m a good puppy parent to anyone other than my dog.

Us dog mamas (and papas) should be sticking together, not trying to outdo each other or prove we’re superior. We can share what we’ve learned and what’s worked for us along the way, but we need to remember every dog is different. What’s best for yours might not be what’s best for mine, and that’s OK.

We all love our dogs, and at the end of the day, that’s what really matters.
