I saw a good description of it recently, as being like American television in the 1980s/ 1990s - the stuff that we see here in the UK is the top 1%, so people assume that it's all pretty good
Oh yes, completely agree about the mindset of some meat eaters who seem to have a real problem with veggie/vegan meat substitutes.
Ironically the people who are deeply offended by the concept of vegan sausage roles are invariably keen on throwing the word 'snowflake' at anyone who disagrees with their world view
The vegetarian/ vegan sausage rolls are better than the "meaty" versions - for most processed foods I prefer the veggie/vegan version - Quorn sausages etc
I would simply ban describing people who find something problematic as a snowflake
If we are banning things then I'd ban "problematic", which seems to be used on Twitter a lot to describe someone that you want your followers to take against, without you having to explain why/ what they've actually done wrong - e.g. you'll have someone mentioning a celebrity and someone will dismiss them as being "problematic" with no justification - it seems a modern way of trying to close down a discussion (not a go at you
@py_megapixel - it's just a word that I find grating when people use it to throw mud around without giving details)
But then a lot of social media seems to be like that - you don't want your "tribe" to listen to the arguments of people outside the "tribe" (because you want to keep everyone in the tribe, and not listening to inconvenient things from mainstream thinkers), so you need a way of saying "don't listen to them" without worrying too much about listing any actual sins/ crimes that they've committed
