    "this image clearly shows weirder things than any vegan does"

    By shifting the metaphor from “Earth as mother” to “Earth as lover” we aim to entice people to develop a more mutual, pleasurable, sustainable, and less destructive relationship with the environment.

    While quirky, this is definitively less weird than OP's disgusting image

    So there exists some group using a weird metaphor, and somehow that is just as representative of vegans as a video of how farming works is of farmers..?

    Way to shift that goalpost. You very clearly said "any vegan", if you meant something else you should have said something else.

    I guess I have to caveat my phrasing even when it's super obvious what was meant. Everyone knows you could've found a single example of a vegan doing something bizarre, yet it wouldn't be remotely relevant unless it were at least a semi-popular trend.

    Hint: "everyone" in this comment doesn't literally mean every human in existence.
