I don't understand why it's supposed to be funny to make fun of vegans?
I am not a vegan myself, but I absolutely understand their moral reasoning for being vegans.
The drawings are pretty funny, the "joke" is not.
Why exclude one group from humor? As long as the humor is not derogatory
OK what are these other groups? Redheads, handicapped, foreigners, women, fat people, small people?
What are these groups that should be made fun of?
You are reasoning like a true sociopath.
Making fun of people for doing the morally correct thing is simply wrong.
you're the one proposing these topics. this is sociopathic reasoning.
That is not reasoning, but examples of other groups people make fun of.
You are failing basic logic, and failing to answer the question.
That was what I responded to. Because that means making fun of the above groups too.
But maybe you too is ~~a sociopath~~ extremely insensitive?
your edit is even more unhinged.
Unhinged from what?
If I'm unhinged, it's because I find you "extremely insensitive" towards people that may stick out for whatever reason.
Edit: Trying to be less "unhinged".
unhinged from reality. you have no idea who I am. you are making up your own facts and claiming your thoughts belong to others.
I know what you wrote, and my response is based on that.
You obviously think it's OK to make fun of people for being Vegan, and think it's OK to make fun of people for other reasons too, like being a librarian.
That clearly makes you "insensitive".
Maybe you should consider why you think it's OK to behave in a way, that makes you look like that?
Try to image the situation where Trump made fun of a handicapped journalist, is that who you want to be?

Edit: Dialed it sown a little bit.
"You obviously think it’s OK to make fun of people for being Vegan"
you can't cite any evidence for this
Of course I can, it follows logically from your opposition to my post questioning it.
It is also logically in line with the fact that you suggest "librarian" as a better example than "foreigner".
Thinking those 2 posts make sense and are OK, but the examples I gave you consider sociopathic, shows you can't really distinguish between what is OK and what is not.
"it follows logically from your opposition to my post questioning it."
no, you're making a leap of logic.
... and you came up with those groups. you could have picked hipsters, librarians, and beer snobs.
I could, but those examples are not equivalent except for librarians.
Nobody calls themselves hipster or beer snob.
If I call you, for argument sake, a humourless idiot, am I still allowed to make fun of humourless idiots?
Yes. I don't see how that could be offensive, because I don't think anybody identify as humorless idiots. So go right ahead.
There's a huge difference between targeting a demographic that exist and one that kind of doesn't really.
But apparently you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand that.
Obviously I don't identify as a humorless idiot. I even noted the drawings are kind of funny, it's the joke that isn't.
But they both exist and overlap to the huge extent, so...
