The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Yeah, I had someone threaten to beat my ass when they were telling a 'funny' story about how they were spanked until bruised and then told the thing they did was wrong by responding with "Was the spanking step necessary, since they explained what you did wrong?" Literally those exact words, which led to them going into a rant about how nobody wants them to spank their kids anymore.

I must not have been the first person who didn't find their child abuse story funny.
