Their comment wasn’t making judgements of others, it was just a statement of personal feelings. On a memes community no less.
I get frustrated on Lemmy seeing stuff like this. Downvoting a completely innocent comment cause they have a different belief only makes their beliefs look dumb.
Have a conversation and let that conversation rise to the top of the comments.
I see this and think whoever is downvoting has such a fragile world view that it will break if they see a comment that offers a different take.
Because many of the readers here see it as an ethical issue.
I just want to point out that the “pro lifers” and trans phobes also think their position is an “ethical” one, and all their decisions are driven by that. Doesn’t make them right just cause they think they’re doing the ethical thing.

Look I’m not a vegan, I was just trying to answer your question, but you’re begging the question really hard.
In what way am I begging the question? I was using your answer as a basis for my comment.
I would love to know why that comment got so many downvotes. I can’t think of a good reason why.
Edit:
Btw, I recognize you were just giving a theory and not necessarily downvoting for that reason. But it seemed like the correct reason as well.
Because it’s only a completely innocent comment if you accept the premise that consuming meat is not harmful.
