Show me where I perfectly equated humans to cows, cows to dogs, or dogs to humans.

It's okay to feel uncomfortable and conflicted right now if you can't find it. Perhaps dwell on the fact that you actually do understand that they are the same IN THE WAYS I DESCRIBED while simultaneously clinging to a world view that requires them to be different.

    Yeah there's the discomfort coming out. That's what I thought.

    Cope. You've ran out of arguments, but you're trying to cover your ass to make it look like you're the one that came out on top.

    Keep up the debate if you're not uncomfortable with people pointing out the flaws in your world view for all to see.

    You admitted that artificial insemination of livestock is not equivalent to rape. So yes, I did come out on top, as this was the original point that we were debating. If there is something else you'd like to still debate, you can make another point. But my point has been resolved.

    Artificial insemination is equivalent to rape though. That's been my whole argument this entire time.

    And instead of finding good reasons to refute that, you're doubling down on straw mans and trying to derail the conversation. You're sweating that I won't give up to your bigoted views.

    Yes dumbass. I said that IN THE CONTEXT of referring to how humans, cows, and dogs aren't ALL the same. However, humans, cows, and dogs are ALL sentient beings with the capability to communicate and experience pain. In that way, consent is real for them, and artificial insemination via non-consent is rape for ALL of them.

    You're trying to trap me in a cognitive fallacy, when the really fallacy is your inability to understand nuance and context. Truly not shaking the dumbass reputation.

    That's truly ironic. Again, no self awareness at all? Nuance and context is what I have highlighted for you. If you understood nuance and context, then you would understand that things happening in a different context to different subjects are actually nuanced and different. Instead your flawed world view requires all of this to be viewed as black and white and the same, when it is not.

    It's so sad that you have to project your own lack of self-awareness just to make your argument. Clearly grasping at straws here.

    In the meantime, us vegans will keep convincing people successfully that any animal can be raped, and especially cows who are artificially inseminated.

    I have won this argument for a 2nd time because you have no other response besides "no u"

    In the meantime, us vegans will keep convincing people successfully that...

    Honestly, this reads as you trying to reconvince yourself. Just repeat the mantra to yourself, and the cognitive dissonance that I brought to light will go away?

    any animal can be raped

    True

    cows who are artificially inseminated

    Is not rape and you already admitted it is not equivalent to rape. Consider if you would look an actual rape victim in the face and talk to them about artificial insemination of cows as if it were rape and comparable to the real suffering they went through. I bet you wouldn't.

    You keep trying to catch me in a trap as if I fell into one. You're hallucinating.

    Real suffering

    Shows your speciesist bias. How fortunate that you ignore to acknowledge that bias in order to buff up your argument and make it appear stronger than it is.

    Artificial insemination is rape, and cows suffer as a result, just as women do, dogs do, and any other species.

    And for the record, you don't care about women getting raped. You literally don't give a fuck because if you did, you'd understand the parallels between what humans can experience and what non-human animals can experience. Rape to any animal is a violation that can fuck them up, psychologically!

    But your sick, egotistical, selfish world view blocks you from giving a shit. I suspect this world view also extends to other beliefs of yours.

    Go crawl back into the hole where you feel morally righteous. Meanwhile, is vegans will continue to fight for animal rights which includes anti-artificial insemination and freedom.

    the other user hasn't said anything that rises to the level of these statements from you.

    try to be civil.

    I'm questioning your support for psychopathic opinions. Because it is psychopathic to think of animals as lesser beings compared to humans that deserve less dignity, respect, and moral consideration.

    That is what both you and theunknownmuncher are defending. Disgusting.

    You're telling me to be civil while theunknownmuncher's beliefs are allowed room to breathe.

    You take a side when you do this because these types of belief should be silenced. Genocidal, violent, psychopathic beliefs should not be given platforms to fester online.

    Telling me to be civil is muting the response needed to counter these horrific ideas. This type of apologia and these kinds of ideas contribute to furthering domestication and slavery of animals.

    You are being the equivalent of a US Liberal telling Leftwingers to follows rules and procedures to counter Right-wing fascism. Ideas of oppression, no matter the group of people or species of life, need to be shunned.

    No, I never make personal attacks or ad hominem. The fact that you've stooped to this level shows that your argument has failed and you cannot use logic or reasoning to back it up.

    What does it say that you've downvoted the message "Personal attacks are not welcome here". I think everyone should support that message.

    You made a personal attack when you put words in my mouth and forced me to take a position I never held.

    Theunknownmuncher said that I trivialize the experience of human rape victims. I never said anything that would trivialize their experiences. I advocated for broadening the scope of what we call rape to more than just humans. It's anthropocentric to think that only humans can be raped.

    Does this sub encourage bad faith discussions? That seems to be against the principle of civility.

    i think it's reasonable to say that when you compare a veterinary procedure to rape.

    Artificial insemination is not a veterinary procedure though. It's a forced action on a animal that violates their consent.

    How the fuck do y'all not recognize this.

    I've never contested this. We agree on this point. Continuing to argue it is a strawman.

    Because that's my whole argument. It has been my whole argument, and will continue to be my whole argument, regardless of how much you try to derail the conversation.
