People seem to be freaking out about vegan thing.

I am pretty sure the artist is referring to the owner literally going out and buying either wet food with meat chunks or some other meal with meat directly in it, as opposed to dry food with no meat bits.

Kibble is still made with meat in it it's just been pressed and dehydrated.

It's a reference to some stupid ass vegans that think obligate carnivores can survive on a plant based diet.

I'm aware healthy dry food contains meat. It's fundamentally necessary for cats. I could understand vegans not wanting raw or preserved meat in their house, and I think having dry food would be an easy compromise for most vegans, but the ones who are very loving of their pet companions would keep wet food and meat treats for their cats despite it.

Quite frankly if a vegan is so bad at research that they don't know cats need meat, I doubt they'd realize that dry food contains meat, and vice versa.

I think you are assuming something worse to be needlessly angry. I think you have an implicit bias that most vegans are idiots and that's lead you to your assumption.

There's a reason I said some vegans and not all.

I don't really care what people choose to eat. If you're vegan good for you, same with vegetarian or whatever diet you prefer.

I've just seen stories about vegans starving animals of proper nutrients trying to prove animals can survive on plant based diets and it's been a joke for a long time.

I am doubtful the author is going to drop something macabre like that, as a passing statement, in a comic about a robot wondering if he's loved.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I mean they're already referencing that loving something means giving it what it needs to flourish despite personal beliefs.

That's kinda the same reference just with a positive spin attempting to informative

No, robot, you’re loved. We scoop all the poops you make. We feed you all the food you need…

And you haven't chosen a name yet, but I'm happy to start calling you a nickname based off "tin" since you are made of metal.

  • Tin man
  • Rin-tin-tin
  • Tin-o-beans
