    Imagine instead of vegan, the caption was like “my daughter tells me you watch dog fights on the weekend” and the guy says “well I stopped going to them but…”

      Oh ok so the dad is kicking him out for having been a part of something gross even though they changed their ways.

      See, idk, not that funny.

        the “but…” implies they have started doing the gross thing again. Imo it’s worse if someone recognizes something is bad, stops, then starts doing it again, they’re no longer ignorant but they still choose to do the bad thing

          Yeah, changed their ways as in went back.

          The but.

          It’s a funny analogy to make because they directly compared being vegan to watching dog fights.

          Someone who wanted to really dunk on y’all would maybe make a joke about brain function and nutrition.

          Instead I’ll just say “this isn’t how you change minds”

            What are you even saying? The meme isn’t comparing being vegan to watching dog fights, and the reason I used that analogy is because a lot of ethical vegans see not being vegan as similarly bad to watching dog fights, since both support unnecessary cruelty to other animals. Since most people are against watching dog fights, the analogy helps people see the meme from the perspective an ethical vegan sees it.

            Your lack of ability to understand what’s being said would be easier to dunk on lol also this meme isn’t really targeted at changing minds I don’t think 🤷
