Epic Meal Time - Not Safe For Vegetarians
David_Dovey:
I'd probably be far more inclined to take her objections seriously if she posted about literally anything else ever.
tania:
akima contributes a lot and posts about a lot of things actually, like... really often. her comments regarding asian stereotypes and racism (which are really not that frequent) are memorable because she's usually the only person in a given thread who ever actually notices and brings up the issue and actively wants to discuss it. like jordan said she's one of the few actual minority members who post on this forum and personally i find it refreshing to get a different opinion and perspective once in a while, even if i don't always agree completely. belittling and dismissing those opinions is a pretty shitty thing to do.
Tom:
Yes, Akima's posts are solid but maybe it's possible that she's hypervigilant. Then again, I'm a white male so what do I know?

Because I was pretty happy with the insane meat fiesta of the first post.

So what you are saying is that there's no way I can disagree with her and not be an asshole? Either I disagree with her completely and dismiss her, or I try to be understanding while disagreeing with her. Either insensitive and ignorant or condescending.
Ozymandias:
Nah, I guess what I'm saying is that someone being particularly sensitive to things that affect them and not you and, very likely, have affected them and not you, is not really being on a high horse since, you know, in the future it will continue to affect them and not you and that it's pretty okay to disagree on the particulars sure but on the other hand it's also pretty okay to disagree privately to yourself and continue to talk about the delicious and awful meats instead which is really what I'm saying let's watch those videos again.
