And you're disgusting. I'm sure you'd feel tickled pink if something decided that the appeal of your skin as a fucking piece of clothing was worth killing you over.

Seriously, this. I'm not going to lie about wearing animals because I do own leather boots, but it certainly isn't something I brag about. And I'm not going to be uppity about wearing/owning them. I'll never understand the whole "I wear fur, so suck shit you animal-loving pussies" attitude.

[identity profile] bleed-peroxide.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I don't either. I mean, I don't agree with wearing it, but I'm not going to point to someone and go YOU FUCKING MURDERER if I see them wearing leather boots or something. I don't see where the whole "hurr hurr, stick it to those stupid veg*ans" attitude comes from.

Mutual respect. Agree to disagree. Don't give me shit because I find fur distasteful, and I won't give you shit if I see you wearing leather boots. If we're going to split hairs, fur is worse (to me) than leather because those animals were killed for no other purpose than to wear them.

Except mutual respect/agreeing to disagree is not the way most anti-fur people act toward people who wear fur (or leather, or whatever). The attitude you say you don't understand is a reaction to the shit people get for wearing fur. You might not go up to people and say YOU FUCKING MURDERER, but other people do, and when it happens, yeah, some people are going to respond belligerently, and when it happens enough, that belligerence is going to stick. Psychology, how does it work?

tl;dr

I can respect that, but... well, it doesn't really excuse it. I guess it would just appreciated if people react to what I'm saying, not what they've had other vegans and/or anti-fur people say to them in the past. Nowhere in here did I call anybody a murderer or say anything snide to them until they started being an asshole first. I'm not saying that you're doing that - you're pretty civilized - but it gets old. Yeah, yeah, the V-word scares people. I know firsthand that a lot of vegans can be obnoxious and preachy. There's a reason it took me years to look into it for myself.

Me saying "nobody looks good in fur" isn't me calling people names. Moral reasons aside, it's the same thing as someone stating "leopard print is ugly as fuck" or something. It's a bluntly put opinion, but that's all it is.

People need to learn to pick their battles. I have plenty of friends that still eat meat and dairy, and because they're polite enough to respect my choices, I keep my lips sealed when they order the double bacon cheeseburger. They don't rub it in my face so I don't sit there giving them the stink eye. Mutual respect.

It just seems unnecessarily crass and disrespectful to me. This is a really subjective matter, so I'm pretty understanding when it comes to people having different views. But it seems like whenever there's a discussion about vegetarianism or animal rights, someone has to be ~*edgy*~ and brag about how much they love fur or meat or leather or whatever, like they're proud of themselves.

I'm not even vegetarian for moral reasons, so it's not like it's a huge affront to me. It's just pathetic.
