I agree that Vaxyr has a terrible record with community-building and tolerates bullying.

I don't think it's fair to call him a Nazi sympathizer, based on the linked screenshots. He never said he espouses the ideology, he just said he wouldn't blanket ban Nazis from his server. Obviously that's a bad take, but it's not the same as being a Nazi sympathizer.

Can you link to that?

It's quite common with tattoos, right? Unless you're getting flash or "omakase" tattoos, you can describe a concept to the artist and they'll design something for you.

I'm reaching a little here, but I couldn't get into Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I gave it around 10 episodes IIRC and just didn't like any of the characters or find the plot very interesting. It's possible the English VAs had something to do with it too; I normally watch in Japanese but I was watching FMA with friends that don't like subs.

Use Jujutsu jj and you won't have this problem

Look up Operation Paul Bunyan AKA The Korean Axe Murder Incident

I'm not making a larger claim here, I'm just asking the vegetarians to explain the logic of their belief.

It sounds like now you're saying that you want to reduce pain rather than the killing of intelligent/conscious life.

In that case would you be OK with slaughterhouses if they treated the animals humanely and killed them as quickly as possible before they could feel significant pain?

You're so right. I guess it doesn't matter what happens between now and the inevitable future. -_-

It is in my country.

Did you read the comment I replied to?

For me there's no morals tied to the level of consciousness. That allows for cherry picking.

No I wouldn't. But I would kill and eat an insect, fish, or bird.

Ok but plants are also living beings so you should not eat them by your rule.
