#vegan stigma

[daffodilhorizon]

i've always been outspoken about equal rights. It started with posts about mental illness stigma. Since being traumatized as a child, i've struggled with depression and anxiety. I opened up about this, in hopes others would feel inspired to share their stories. There's every reason why suffering from mental illness should not happen alone. Then i started talking about gay rights and biphobia and feminism and #metoo and the patriarchy. I tirelessly educated on rape culture and mansplaining. I went hard on telling people to vote (haha) for the most liberal option available. I told people about the wealth gap and classism. I educated myself and read both anarchist and communist theory, and then i started criticizing colonialism and exploitation itself. I advocated for unions, i told people to never cross a picket line and to support strikes. I was already ACAB before Ferguson, but after that i spent years reading antiracist theory and seeking out black revolutionaries. I had to tell an extended family member "all lives don't matter until black lives do". I did not shy from my work in attempting to gently radicalize the people in my life. I attempted to educate others on why we need prison and cop abolition and the alternatives. I got pretty far, even with people i don't consider leftists! Like anyone else, i of course, advocated for environmentalism. I myself do not own a car and go to great lengths to use fully renewable energy. I re-use before recycling. I avoid plastic when i can. In my veganism self-education, i learned about disability rights. This was enforced further during covid. I stopped using ableist language or comparisons. I have successfully eradicated using comparisons to intelligence in my daily life and gently correct people around me when they use them to use a better word. None of this lost me any friends. Until i brought up animal rights. Even the tamest "i'm vegan" had acquaintances putting distance between us. My entire family turned on me, simply for saying stuff like "you are a good person, you just don't see the difference between your cat and a pig because of defense mechanisms, but you would be upset if your cat went through what animals at those places do." or saying killing a turkey is wrong. Then i started losing friends and being ostracized. From people who said nothing even when i pointed out war crimes against Palestine and are full anti-capitalists. People who are open minded, and generally kind to others. People's environmentalism evaporated when i pointed out that methane from cows is x28 as heating as CO2 in the short term, that we can't stay under 2c without people being plant based, or that the majority of plastic in the ocean is from fishing nets, or that fishing is killing way more sea turtles and other "cute" animals than straws. Even just mentioning animal victims a few times every now and then is enough to make people uncomfortable. Definitely not a sign of their own guilt or anything! How painful must the reminder be, to have to completely block out not only the victims at every meal, but humans who remind them of the suffering they are inflicting as well. So it's very jarring to me now, to see other people advocating for other causes saying much more extreme things and not getting any negative social feedback. Straight up mainposting things like "you are a bad person for voting wrong" is becoming more normal with the election season coming up. But vegans get shut down simply for bringing up animal abuse, because carnists know deep down it's wrong to hurt animals and objectify them into commodities. That's why they care so much about animals they view as "cute" "pets" or value (at least on the surface) animals they admire for being free and wild such as Elephants, pretty birds, and whales.

Felix loves when Vampire!Reader feeds on him not just because he loves and cares for them so so much but because vampire bites feel indescribably good. It's euphoric and erotic for both participants.

And if Oliver were to witness it? Perhaps peeking through the dorm window or slightly open door? He feels such a mix of emotions including longing.

Absolutely including this, I'm loving this AU, as well as the far AU, I'm sorry I haven't been posting them I've got so many damn thoughts for all of them!!!

Also along these lines, 1. At Oxford and in most of their life, the reader hides their nature as a vampire but will absolutely joke about rumours that crop up about them.

2. Duncan is a vampire too. There's a stigma around vampires, but his job is secure so he's comfortable being identified as a vampire and there's a novelty about it for guests to Saltburn, you know? The Cattons say he's a "vegan" and they get deliveries of animal blood from local butchers every week (which they do, but it's more like a snack), but the reality is that both Elspeth and Sir James allow him to feed on them for the same reason Felix let's the reader. Elspeth is Very Into It. Its the worst kept secret in the house, especially since they try and keep up the "vegan" cover story with their children. They know the reader is a vampire and are in wilful denial of their feeding on their son. They like to believe the reader is a "vegan vampire" too.

Also please picture Reader and Duncan, both overwhelmed by the idea of an upcoming dinner/social event at Saltburn, both sitting on the counter of the kitchen, both drinking a blood bag of pigs blood like a Capris Sun, side by side in preemptively tired silence.

Duncan and Reader are friends in every universe I will not take criticism on this.

[shadowknightapologist]

how would your mystreet rewrite be impacted by your mcd rewrite? you said they’re in the same universe right

your writing is really cool :))))

thank you so much!!

(tragic how huge this thing is, but i guess that's the price i pay for self expression.)

also i'm so sorry this is late, i forgot i started this ask </3

WARNINGS FOR: potential inaccuracies, a lot of this is probably subject to change but it's a general idea!

GWGFGD (MCD) spans entirely over two eras in myverse history—"B.P" and "D.D"—and then a very small portion of the current era, "A.G". currently, GWGFGD contains at least 850 years of history, as well as a number of crucial developments within geography, religion, government, society, and of course, the final defeat of the true king/shadrach. a lot of these changes were done or at least started by eurydice and co., including:

de-stigmatization of magik and its users;

reduction of species-based stigma/discrimination;

reduction of religious dominance;

actual abolishment of monarchy and development of democratic systems;

development of states, cities, etc. and infrastructure;

genuine unity between countries;

etc.

because of this and magik enhancing technological advancements, the beginning of A.G is about the 18th/19th century in real world equivalents (i say this because the current world year when the MCD storyline is over is 1350). politics at any point are largely underdeveloped but i feel i can solidly say about a century after GWGWGD, people are not going to war. bc actually i don't like war and i think it's largely, if not entirely, unnecessary. but anyway.

at this point, everyone knows that the divine warriors existed and most are also aware that massive portions of their mythology is incorrect (i have an eventual religion post that'll explain this more). because of this, religions surrounding the divine warriors become less about the warriors themselves and more about the themes and ideals people associated with them. for example, "solusism" during GWGFGD is about worshipping eirene as the sole goddess—and even creator—of the world, while solusism in myverse is centered more around the belief that all creatures deserve to live uninterrupted from start to finish (so a solusist may practice vegetarianism/veganism to uphold this idea).

now presently, things aren't awful, but there are some misconceptions, flaws, or gaps in the history that would still have the GWGFGD cast rolling in their graves, like:

shadow knights being rebranded as demon subtypes (like imps, succubi/incubi, etc.), and eventually completely replaced by those subtypes (only the most dutiful of history/theology nerds can find information on shadow knights; trying to explain the difference to the masses usually kills the soul, though).

many characters, especially shadow knights, are forgotten or removed from most historical accounts despite eurydice and co.'s best attempts. this includes characters like vylad, dante, lucinda (who's only known as "the White Witch"), several of the lords eurydice befriended, etc. essentially, anyone dubbed "unimportant". this is a persistent issue with myverse history, as they did this with the divine warriors as well. maybe one day they'll learn.

relic holders are assumed to have been reincarnations of the divine warriors, which is almost entirely false.

eurydice gets "mother, maiden, crone"-d and largely stripped of the individuality she fought very hard for. later, in the actual myverse roleplays, aphmau also ends up struggling with this and is believed to represent the maiden (eirene = crone, eurydice = mother).

lastly, i'll discuss some of the bigger changes to the myverse roleplays.

the biggest one is probably going to be names. a majority of the myverse cast will be descended from GWGFGD, so instead they more "represent" the OGs rather than being them. this means almost no one has the same name because it would make me tweak. the exceptions to this are the shadow knights and travis.

an example that's already come up is aphmau. she's actually born with the name "elissa", but adapts "aphmau" from final fantasy and eventually it catches and it becomes her preferred name.

the myverse cast is also supposed to look different—probably still recognizable, but individual. once again, the only exception to this is shadow knights, but this is because (as briefly stated before), shadow knights are sentenced to an automatic, reincarnation-adjacent fate. i say adjacent because instead of being reborn as something new, shadow knights are always reborn as, well, shadow knights due to the way their soul is corrupted. their reincarnations are supposed to be opportunities to live as they should have been, but there's always a chance they'll end up the same as they did in their first life (that is, a frightful husk of heated armor, boiling with fury all the time). afterlife never is and never will be an option for them. they're reborn again and again, filling in the holes where their soul belongs, and when they die they do it all again.

(how aging and death work for reincarnated shadow knights, i don't know yet.)

(the only shadow knight who doesn't follow this system is shadrach. after GWGFGD, he's employed as "judgement". when his time is served, he'll join the rest of the divine warriors, save one, in the afterlife, where they will never be reincarnated.)

[acti-veg]

about the last post, the "no matter what it is, if it's associated with vegans they will find a reason to hate it" and I can say nothing truer has ever been said. I live in Italy and we have vegan staples like pasta with oil, garlic and chilli pepper, or pasta with beans. and people when think of veganism just FORGET about them. they think I as a vegan eat just salad all day. like??? my guy. my pal. pasta with beans is right there. rice with peas is RIGHT THERE. why would I deprive myself of those delicacies just because in the minds of meat eaters vegans are miserable?

I’ve seen this at parties and work events so many times, a very normal food like a potato or pasta salad is labelled vegan, and nobody wants to touch it. Doughnuts where the only thing that is different is that the dairy milk has been replaced with oat milk and they’re consistently the only ones people don’t eat.

I don’t know how we can get people to understand that vegan food is just normal food that we’ve been eating for thousands of years that doesn’t contain animal products. Vegan fabrics are just regular fabrics we’ve all been wearing our whole lives. Most of the staple foods of most of the world are plant-based foods, this insistence on including meat or dairy in every meal is a privileged habit that is very new in the grand scheme of things.

People miss out on so much delicious food and sustainable fabric options just because they have a prejudice against anything with the word ‘vegan’ on it, even ‘plant-based’ has the same bizarre stigma for many. More than that, people will have to dramatically reduce their meat and dairy consumption and opt for more sustainable fabrics in order to make their lifestyles more sustainable. Avoiding anything that isn’t made of meat, dairy or leather is the complete opposite of what they need to be doing at this stage.

[honeyandpumpkins]

being poly and vegetarian myself i feel like what’s really going on is that people get weirdly defensive of their own food/relationship choices bc they assume that poly/vegan people are judging them simply bc they made a different choice. i have never met a vegan or poly person who presented themselves as morally superior, but i have met a lot of people who start acting weird around me when all i do is mention that i’m vegetarian or poly. with being poly especially ive had to contend with how the stigma will affect me socially or professionally. i would hope that other queer people would understand the hurt that comes with feeling like you have to hide your relationship to protect yourself, but no having positive feelings about your relationship is apparently just as annoying as people who call you an ugly amoral cheater.

Navigating a Healthy Vegan Pregnancy: Why You Need Vegan Connects.

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but for expecting mothers following a vegan diet, it can bring unique challenges. How do you ensure you’re getting all the nutrients you and your baby need while staying true to your plant-based lifestyle?

The Challenges of a Vegan Pregnancy

Pregnancy, while exciting, can also come with added stress—especially when it comes to nutrition. Here are some common concerns expecting mothers on a plant-based diet may face:

Getting Enough Nutrients

One of the biggest worries for vegan pregnant women is ensuring that both they and their baby get the necessary nutrients. Key vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein are critical during pregnancy, but these can be trickier to source on a vegan diet without the right knowledge.

Overcoming Social Stigma and Doubts

It’s not uncommon for family, friends, or even healthcare professionals to question the safety of a vegan pregnancy. Many expecting mothers face pressure to abandon their plant-based diet in favor of traditional prenatal nutrition, which can create additional stress during an already delicate time.

Finding Reliable, Vegan-Friendly Pregnancy Resources

There’s no shortage of pregnancy advice out there, but it can be overwhelming trying to find resources that align with a vegan lifestyle. From pregnancy-safe meal ideas to advice on supplementation, knowing what’s best for your body and baby can be a challenge without a reliable community to turn to.

"By agreeing with proship beliefs but not calling myself a proshipper, I have elevated myself above ~petty fandom squabbles~ and have rendered myself immune to fandom harassment!" Oh man is anybody gonna tell them? (Anyway, it's like saying "I believe Jesus is the Messiah but I'm not a Christian", "I don't eat animals but I'm not a vegetarian/vegan", etc etc. Like there's a word for "person who does what you do", and not using it doesn't render you immune to the stigma of doing what you do.)

[m1stym0on]

doing all the days at once, below the cut *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

1. 5’7 , cw 111 , lw 94 , hw 180

2. sometimes i wish i was shorter but i do kinda like my height a lot too

3. i’ll make a separate post w my fav th1nsp0 atm

4. i’m not sure i have any ‘greatest fears’ about weightloss, i do get kind of scared that i’ll have to be hospitalised one day though just because of what my family would think

5. i want to lose weight because i always feel like i have to, i feel better about myself when i’m losing. it’s not about looks.

6. i do binge A LOT, my binges used to be between 4-8k cals but i’ve managed to bring them down to always under 4k. i binge when i feel ‘out of control’ wether that’s through emotions or because i overate my c@ls slightly. i hate it smmmmm

7. my parents can tell when i’m not eating, but i live alone so all they can do is buy me food.

8. i don’t ever workout really, i never have any energy. BUT i do try to get in 5k steps and 100 sit ups everyday :)

9. i was pretty chunky growing up so i did used to get a few comments, none were meant as insults though. since being skinny i just get positive comments about my weight and body

10. the hardest thing to give up is takeaways and going out drinking, the c@ls are just way too uncountable for me and i could work around it but it makes me SO ANXIOUS

11. n/a

12. i really love oatmeal, and yoghurt w granola and berries. i typically eat breakfast or protein bars or chocolate as well

13. i’m on 3dblr what do you think

14. my ugw is either 95/100lbs or whenever i decide i’m sick enough to recover (never)

15. i’m not either but i do sometimes like vegan/vegetarian alternatives to dairy or meat and i would definitely consider going vegetarian or vegan for a short amount of time - like maybe a few months?

16. i first decided to lose weight in december 2020, i was around 180lbs and immediately started a 1200cal diet that never ended

17. i’m not sure if i have an ed, if i do it’s probably ednos because i kind of have symptoms of a few different diagnoses

18. biscuits and cookies always get me man nothing else makes me lose control like that. gimme a pack of marylands and it’s over.

19. i ate fast food a few weeks ago, i don’t cut out ‘bad foods’ i just incorporate them into my c@ls

20. i don’t have any fav diet but i do love @honeysugarfree and all their posts <3

21. i’m a uk 6 or xs in tops and a uk 8 / s in bottoms :)

22. my lowest weight was i think 94, not sure because i stopped caring about the sc@le. i only gained because my auntie saw me at christmas for the first time in a while and then contacted my family about my ‘worrying appearance’. my dad ended up taking me to the doctors and i was put on a m3al plan, so forced r3c0very

23. no it’s not about the media, l0sing weight for me is all about how it feels on my body and comparing myself to people in real life, or that’s how it started anyways

24. i know the original terms meant community and pro acceptance but since now they have such stigma i’m not sure how i feel about them

25. i do struggle with p.rg1ng a few times a week but i’m trying to stop. i don’t actually remember the first real time but i do remember my ex bf teaching me how to thr0w up when i felt sick from drinking ??

26. i just want to feel valid in my eating problems, so i guess that’s what i want out of my ugw this time. but i’m also of course excited to feel fragile, delicate emo girl fr

27. i usually just have to distract myself if i’m around food like with gum or remind myself about my goals over and over in my head, i do find it pretty hard to be honest

28. i do really really want that th1gh g4p but i am kinda nervy about my short shorts and mini skirt not looking slut / tight anymore when i go out (dumb maybe)

29. honestly my definition of beauty is femininity

30. 10 facts! i do fine art at uni, i’m 19, i live alone, i have 2 little kitty cats, my fav colour is bluey purple. my fav flowers are chrysanthemums, peonies, hydrangeas. fav foods are fish and chips, pasta, COOKIES and biscuits, ramen (all so h1gh c4l i could die). alr that’s enough facts i can’t think of anymore my brain’s fried to pieces

"TO THE SERVICE OF LIGHT"

( by Alfredo Di Prince )

Second Part

"Many of them in past lives were martyred and wiped out with fire from the fires of the religious Inquisition." Others have given Life, and these Brothers and Sisters were great seekers of Truth: Herbalists, Midwives, Nature Lovers, Templars, Cathars, Beginner Teachers, etc... present in all times as bearers of Light and are always those who come and go and have turned their backs on the Light to return more times to help Human Brothers advance on the Evolutionary Scale to Infinity..

These Brothers recognize themselves among themselves, work absolutely free of any pecuniary remuneration and in Silence, carrying out their own Missions of Love and Light., to make the Great Plan fulfilled, so that "Celestial Jerusalem" descends upon our Planet and Light reigns absolutely forever and ever Amen.

But a warning is necessary, to all who seek a Way to be able to awaken from the lethargy imposed by the Consciousness itself.

We are aware and the Master had said it: that in these Times of Change they would take advantage of to prevent with these Spiritual Arguments getting paid "The Service: and sometimes very saladily. Those poor victims of these chatterboxes, believing they are really in the Truth, get to be poer than before.

Brothers in Service do it for Love

in the name of Light and Truth, being aware of being only a Channel, a means to manifest some Truths and help the neighbor who needs it. There is no need for a Headquarters, no Organization, let alone a large group. He usually performs alone or in small groups and the meeting places are mostly outdoors.

Casa Del Padre has many rooms and any place is good. All Universes are "THE FATHER'S HOUSE" therefore Divinity can be found anywhere where a Heart filled with Love reigns.

The Science of the Heart is not taught, there are no courses, and no one can teach it to you Only a True Master can show them the Way and only this, can Transmit Knowledge when the Disciple is ready, the Master will appear...!

There is no use asking, fasting, being vegan, praying to dead saints, meditating, or reciting Mantrams, it can only give satisfaction and health, but they do not believe they are in Nirvana or touched the Seventh Heaven. with one hand. Whoever humbles himself will be exalted, and whoever exalts himself will be humbled..!

There are also some who believe to be Jesus Christ in person,

believe to have the mission to suffer like crazy to save humanity, provoke beautiful stigmas in the hands and feet suffer and believe to be special beings, on the other hand they are true masochists..! They exhibit themselves as a circus phenomenon attracting poor gullible people.

There are also creators of sects, pastors and guides who believe they are authorized by God in person, instead they do it because it is a round business and they live on the backs of poor people who seek refreshment for their burning souls.

Recovering from almost having to go to the er for a blockage last night. I just wish I actually knew why I have these lifelong issues with constipation.

And every time I think l'm in remission sort of I have a horrible episode. Every time I make a lifestyle change that I think has solved it, it returns. I have missed out on so much of life from dealing with this.

I feel like there's not even any point in doing more tests about it because there's nothing to diagnose me with. I went through the misery of a barium swallow and all they did was say “huh….you don’t seem to maintain peristalsis normally….sorry about that” and didn’t even give me a real diagnosis of slow transit constipation or IBSc until I later begged a doctor to put something in my records.

They just don’t fucking care. They just tell me to eat more fiber when I try to tell them that too much makes it worse. I’ve been this way since I was A TODDLER. When I was a child they told me it was anxiety (as if I, a child, could fix that), or scolded me for not using the toilet enough (???) and said I would grow out of it. Now that I’m an adult it’s my fault because I must not eat enough fiber (I’m fucking vegan), or I must not exercise enough (I walk or do yoga every day), or I must need to meditate about it (I work constantly on my anxiety every day).

Some people with slow transit constipation have to get fucking colectomies and we STILL DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT

It's the equivalent to being like "wow your arm hurts so bad and is so nonfunctional that we have to amputate it, but we can't be fucked to do research as to why this happens to people." Also “you know it's probably your fault anyway"

Constipation stigma is not only attached to unhealthy and obese people but also to drug addicts. I think that’s why the medical system leaves us behind. We’re constipated so we must be less than human like all the other people they ignore.

[daffodilhorizon]

logging onto facebook and seeing memories and seeing my carnist friends being 1000% more supportive and engaging to me before i was vegan lmao. like literally 20 comments per post and now i get like 2 likes from my vegan friends (on posts not even related to veganism too) like the vegan stigma is actually unreal how much people fucking hate being challenged over their murder treats

I think people's view of what's good for the environment is really skewed by aesthetics.

E.g. many people think that dense cities are bad for the environment, when they are far better than spread-out settlements, as they save on transport and heating, and can be walked around rather than requiring cars. People love to suggest you should cut down on internationally shipped food, when international shipping is one of the most efficient forms of transport out there, and the impact of bulk transport is generally negligible compared to the other environmental costs of food production.

On the other side, there's so much focus on 'going vegetarian' or vegan, often with a lot of stigma for any breaking of rules, rather than just cutting meat consumption. But if you reduce meat consumption to 10% of what it was before, that's reduced your environmental impact by 90% of if you had gone fully vegetarian. And as far as I can tell, the extra impact of going vegan is tiny compared to going vegetarian, despite it often being so emphasized because it's viewed, I guess, as a more extreme version of vegetarianism. Moreover, you can reduce environmental impact by loads just by switching from beef to chicken, and this almost never gets talked about, despite being really easy. Because it doesn't have that natural, animal-loving aesthetic.

There's an overlapping problem which originates from capitalist distortion of environmental messaging, where people have no idea which measures actually contribute the most to saving energy and the environment. People tend to think the effectiveness of measures corresponds to how much effort they are to implement, which is not at all true!

E.g. I remember being told over and over again in school about how important it is to turn our computers off rather than just leaving them on standby, to save electricity. But that's a negligible amount of electricity! It's one or two watts difference! And that's before accounting for the fact that if your heating is on, it doesn't waste any energy anyway because all the energy goes into heat, which you want. There is no difference in environmental impact of spending 15,000 Won heating vs spending 14,950 Won heating and 50 Won laptops and lights left on overnight.

Finally, it needs to be much more widely known that carbon offsetting is basically a scam.

In the early twenty-first century, "trans misogyny" is a specific form of prejudice against transgender women. "Miso" is a traditional japanese flavoring made from fermented soybeans. It is etymologically unrelated to the miso of misogyny which comes from the Greek Misos meaning hatred. It is pronounced differently (mee-soh vs miss-oh) as well.

Soybeans in the early twenty-first century have feminine connotations. There is a hateful distrust of vegetarianism and veganism by certain miserable populations, and it is common to see mockery of tofu and soy products as being gendered. These groups would tend to be misogynistic and trans misogynistic.

Soybeans also contain the chemical isoflavones, which are chemically similar to the hormone estrogen, which is associated with female sexual characteristics. Individuals undergoing transition may take estrogen to increase such. Isoflavone can bind to estrogen receptors which can cause the human body to react as if it were estrogen, or to produce anti-estrogen agents in response leading to a result where total estrogen in the body is lowered. However, the amount of isoflavone in soy is far less than the amount required to have a toxicological impact on the human body. It would require a very large amount of soy to approach medical estrogen. Regardless, it is semi-common knowledge that soybeans have 'plant estrogen' in them, which contributes to the stigma against the plant by some hateful subcultures.

Using the Japanese miso for misogyny makes this an example of a proper pun.

The idea that eating soy products will turn men into women is ultimately a form of trans miso-gyny
