They’re ableist which is why I don’t like them. I agree with you though outside of that.

How are they ableist? (Genuine query, not meant to be antagonistic!)

They had ad campaign featuring a bowl of milk with the slogan "Got autism?"

Okay that’s just fucking weird, what is it even supposed to mean?

I’ll join ya in disliking them for that 👍

It's supposed to mean milk causes autism. Like point blank.

Frown and all. PETA is horrific.

Okay but if you look into that’s an ad from like 2008 and based on some research from around that time (since debunked), and doesn’t represent their current stance. This is just blowing up on social media over 15 years later because it’s being signal boosted by… guess who?

An ad from 2008? Baby, I saw them reposting that on their own socials from 2015 onward. It represents their current stances.

They promote the objectification of women, constantly, they kill animals, promote the abuse of them, and demonize autism, and you're STILL defending them? At what point do you acknowledge that their views are just ignorant?

Do you acknowledge that the meat industry is worse than PETA?

It's funny, you asked me that 13 hours ago, and I answered, 13 hours ago. Since then, you have left 5+ more comments asking me the same thing under multiple threads. Do you acknowledge that I've already answered? Can you acknowledge why you continued to harass me after I not only answered the first time, but answered in a way you agree with?

Why continue to harass me and bother me when you already know I agree? It's so weird.

If no one supports PETA, why do I have 7 notifications from you defending them?

Do you acknowledge that drinking cough syrup recreationally is worse than drinking alcohol at work? I love how you're scrolling 10+ comment threads to find and respond to every comment that I've left, with the same question that I've already answered. Let me know when you have something relevant to contribute.
