I usually try to avoid arguing with people, but sometimes I just can't resist.

In what way?

Talent?

I’m fine with (cow) leather, because that is removed after death from an animal we do indeed eat. Using the skin of a cow that is already being slaughtered anyway makes sense. But I’ve never heard of anyone eating minks, foxes, beavers, or chinchillas. Those animals are being killed solely so we can stick their skins…

He spread office gossip as gospel and attempted to obstruct justice.

A lot of the fur industry doesn’t use the whole animal, in fact, many producers skin animals alive. On top of that enormous cruelty and unnecessary animal death, it is totally wasteful.

To be fair if you see the whole post that guy put up and the context it is not what it seems. He says this in response to those defending the piece of shit rapist and he is not referring to any of the victims in the cases here. I mean, he shouldn’t have said it like that but basically he was arguing that these victims…

You seem to not understand how bias works. If the system existed to screw everyone that would be draconian but not biased.

Still wearing REAL fur in this day and age...with all this access to information...just wow.

Yeah, I'd say that's the thing though. We know shit is fucked. But somewhere, in OK no less, the system worked and put a serious dickbag behind bars. It's a celebration!

HAAAAHAHAHAHA yesss yesss, your tears, they give me strength....

Most of the things I own didn’t involve an animal being killed though. And since I eat meat, do I then lose the right to object to any kind of infliction of suffering on animals? Can only vegans be opposed to Sea World or trophy hunting or people who abuse their animals? Where’s the line?

Nah. Not everyone can afford to be vegan in a healthy way and food is necessary for survival. Nobody needs a luxury fur. The only people I don’t judge at all for wearing fur are the people who hunt for themselves and use the pelts for warmth and shelter.

Switching to fake fur would require her to think of something other than herself. She isn’t capable of that.

Interesting fact:

I like her and her brand of showladyship. She does not fuck around with an audience’s expectations. Wish she’d switch to fake fur though. It’s not like you can tell the difference.

This is Ex. 4080 of people on the internet, ostensibly committed to ending racism or sexism, being far more concerned with scoring Good Person points and proving that they’re in the Good Person in-group than actually doing anything about racism or sexism.

Seriously. I want to know how many of the people jumping on him are actual people of color versus how many are grandstanding whites who want to out-ally an obvious ally.

This is a rare feeling for me, but does he really deserve this level of vitriol? Like I get it, his tweets were incredibly naive and definitely speak to the cloud of privilege he must have lived in his entire life, but also the fact that he was disturbed by what he saw suggests to me that he has at least a shred of…
