Banned for pointing out anti-vegan trolls past behaviour

It's clear your very passionate. But your coming across as combative and looking for a fight.
Oh no why won’t the corpsemunchers like me 😢
REALLY looking for a fight.
As someone who has often dipped my toes into this very debate - most people are not looking for a actual discussion - they just want to win. I think this includes you too
No source is ever good enough, no proof ever strict enough etc.
If only there were people who had standards for the evidence they will consider.... https://hackertalks.com/post/15439661
That was in direct reply to "Which is probably why no one cares about outspoken vegans". This is a classic blindspot for many nonvegans where the ridicule and rude dismissal of vegans is so normalized it doesn't track as offensive.
Imagine someone saying "that's why no one cares about outspoken anti-trump activists", I think a clapback along the lines of "oh no why won't the fascists like me 😢" would read quite differently to other antifascists than to the fascists who would certainly see it as the replier provoking and not the other way around.
And no, my point isn't to "win" a debate, which is why I rarely engage in debating behavior. I want to push back against popaganda, to make vegan voices heard and to not leave carnist propaganda unchallenged.

So insulting a entire demographic of people is fine so long as one of them offended you first? That is why your coming off as combative.
As someone who wants to talk about the benefits of a zero carb diet (carnivore), I've been called many nasty things along these lines... they are rhetorical tools used in anger when argument arent available (either due to emotion or attempting to "win")

Great, I invite you to make a post in !carnivore@discuss.online to educate us on our propaganda problems (as long as you can engage in polite productive discussions suitable for a work environment)

What about insulting an entire demographic without even being prompted? That's the double standard I am talking about here. That somehow always goes unmentioned, unchallenged unless a vegan responds in kind.
Thats the point to these "insults", to push back against this language in a way that won't have us limited by "rational, civilized" discourse while the antivegans are allowed to run roughshod with insults and jokes about us. It is an uneven playfield and the rules work against us, so I won't play by them. An added bonus is of course that the "shocked and appalled" reactions give great opportunity to show the inherent antivegan bias in standard discourse like I am doing now or you can witness in the comment chain directly below said comment.
There is a reason to the madness and it's not just for self-gratification 😄

Eye for an eye leaves the world blind.

There are 75, SEVENTY FIVE, vegan communities on lemmy last I checked, there is no lack of representation.

Right, so you just want to fight, and break community rules and that is why the ban is YDI.

Look at the standard lemmy feed or comment section and tell me that there is vegan overpresentation. There is much higher vegan representation on lemmy than usual which is probably why it seems like there is, but the standard jokes and insults still get played out to a regular degree.

Not what I said. I want to (among other things) point out the inherent antivegan bias in standard discourse and one tool to demonstrate it is returning some of the language directed at us. I am not looking for a fight for the sake of fighting (edit: and would say I'm not the one instigating it) and I have no intention of breaking community rules. Furthermore none of this adds up to stalker behavior, the main allegation against me.

I would like to point out you have been joking and insulting me in your other comments(not responding to me directly), yet I don't reciprocate.
inherent antivegan bias in standard discourse
Honestly, I feel this. Zero Carb gets the SAD people, the Omnivores, and the pbf people taking shots at you... So i understand what its like to have a niche opinion that gets immediately criticized.

They aren't merely an unconscious carnist, they are extremely psychologically invested in practicing cruelty and violence with intent. They are fucked in the head real real bad. They will take a "reasonable tone" and pretend to be the mature party, but everything they say is twisted into bad faith, and I can't even tell if they know they do it.

Assuming intent.

Bad Faith, Ad hominem

Because I am, I love to read and discuss. Our attempts at mutual discussion end up with you just going into this name calling.

Nothing I do is in bad faith. I have opinions and I admit they may be wrong. I'm open to evidence and discussion to find a better optimal approach to health.
Honestly all these personal attacks are wearisome and its easy to see why moderators start painting with a broad brush
