r/vegancirclejerk is a
sarcastic humor based subreddit where vegans speak the rhetoric that meat eaters say to justify meat eating or criticize veganism. The purpose is to self-ridicule using the anti-vegan arguments. It is a meme subreddit with no deeper meaning but sometimes to expose the
hypocrisy and absurdity of the meat eaters' claims.
The previous definition says that r/vegancirclejerk is mean. r/vegancirclejerk is not mean. There is a lot of shadow projection on vegans. If you feel empathy and compassion for animals, you would treat them the same way you want yourself or your loved ones to be treated.
The above definition says that r/vegancirclejerk is radical and claims that r/vegan sympathizes with meat eaters. Think of any value
in your life that you think is unethical (for example, cheating on your partner or stealing in store or abusing a waiter in restaurant) and observe your behaviour when somebody does the unethical thing. Put yourself in the shoes of vegans and see where the
radicalism comes from. It is not a civil war. We are in it together. #AnimalLiberation
For example, there is a post on r/vegancirclejerk which says "Those who cannot change the world alone are exempt from being vegan". This illustrates the argument that some meat eaters make that their actions are
insignificant. The underlying meaning is
that one person matters. One person
influences many people in their lifetime. If one person becomes vegan, more animals will NOT be born for their consumption. It is not the fault of animals that they are born in a body that is only seen for consumption and lacks inherent right to life.
