        Those are all carnists under the definition. Vegetarians have no problems with visiting horrible cruelty and violence on animals for their secretions and body parts. They just choose not to eat the actual flesh of animals, which, big deal from the animal’s point of view.

            Uh, yeah? That’s the term. “Flexitarian” and “vegetarian” refer to diets. Veganism is not a diet. It is a moral philosophy. Those that hold that moral philosophy are called vegans. Those that do not hold that moral philosophy are called carnists.

            Welcome to the 21st century. You look like someone freaking out over the term cis. You’re trying to portray the idea as absurd so that you don’t have to consider what it is actually saying. This is an obvious psychological defense mechanism, and you should try and keep those to yourself.
