Dude aside from the wack implication that you can develop autism, this is super fuckin... Like i dont wanna say ableist cause i dont view autism as a disability. obviously it can be but literally anything severe enough can be a disability, but i digress. This ad is just super fuckin agressive to people on the spectrum for no reason. I knew peta was bad but goddamn

It's bigoted is what it is. Bigoted against neurodivergent people. Who, as you say, are not disabled.

A subset are disabled many because of how society has treated them.

I wouldn't be surprised if PETA was secretly funded by meat companies as a way to make the image of vegans look bad

Interesting take. I wonder which aspects of their business you have in mind?

As much as I think campaigns like this are counterproductive to the animal rights agenda, I am strongly in favour of euthanasia, even mass euthanasia, as a responsible and humane solution to woefully irresponsible human industry. I believe that life is without intrinsic value, so it is straightforward to me that a life of suffering is worse than simply not existing.

I've been vegan for around 25 years, and in this time I've been interrogated about my beliefs enough times to feel confident saying folks tend to struggle more with the latter. Take, for example, the way no-kill shelters (or even rescue groups) tend to get sanctimonious at traditional shelters - the very same shelters they look to when they find themselves facing tasks too burdensome. btw, bbq fundraiser, guys!!

So, as long as we aren't including this utterly soul-rending but critical work in our judgement of PETA, I think I'm with you.

Am I the only Autist who is extremely offended by people saying "this or that" causes Autism?

It's annoying when corporations try to use the condition as a tool to further their bullshit arguments.
