75% of the anti-piracy discussions I see rarely blame companies like Nintendo or Disney and always try to talk about how piracy is immoral, and you should feel “dirty” for doing it. My question is why do people seem to hate those who pirate more than the bad practices of mega-corporations or the fact that they don’t want to preserve their media?

    Explain in detail; don’t just say it like it’s obvious and a “no shit” kind of take.

    Your entire argument is based on the assumption that your morals are the “correct morals” while everyone else who doesn’t align with you is incorrect. That’s a textbook definition of this fallacy.

    You are disingenuously undermining what veganism is by phrasing it as a trivial dietary choice.

    That’s exactly what it is. Disagree? Explain in detail; don’t just say it like it’s obvious and a “no shit” kind of take.

    There is no reason why veganism, as a subject, should get an automatic quick dismissal via accusations of a “superiority complex” than any other subject.

    Where has that happened here? I challenge you to quote the comment stating as much. Seems like you’re strawmanning here.

    I said “veganism isn’t about me.”

    you are just repeating the same exact issue of ad hominem and a thought-terminating cliché by calling vegans “self-righteous” and disingenuously strawmanning them as people who just want to circlejerk about the “superiority of their choices”

    “Veganism isn’t about me, but if you criticize me personally, you’re criticizing veganism!”

    This is hilariously illogical. It reads like someone whose brain is short circuiting from all the cognitive dissonance.
