It's so fucking disingenuous because even if you "just" care about emissions or whatever, the pollution from tanning leather is EXTREMELY BAD, much much worse than even plastic. And obviously then you gotta raise and kill a cow for it, which is even more emissions

This is tumblr's main argument why vegans are bad though, like every anti-vegan argument it makes no sense unless you squint and hit yourself on your head a few times while drinking 2 bottles of wine lol

Yeah there's a handful of anti vegan dunks like this where I sometimes feel like I'm the butt of a "no soap, radio!" joke.

Someone says something that they obviously don't believe or haven't thought about very hard like "Oh vegan leather pollution" and they're like opening a single use package. Instead of laughing hysterically at the absurdity bystanders all nod sagely like it was some piercing argument.
