    At least when spoken totally seriously. Highly cringe like That Vegan Teacher. Who equates letting an infant taste cooked meat to SA-ing the infant. Literally says, “think about that. Envision that.”

    Even if it were to convince anyone to yuck on their yum, it’s best to do it in (hopefully playful) jest and gently plant the seed of doubt in their thoughts. Not openly attack something they like. That just makes them not like you.

        Socializing must be difficult for you, then. It’s a very basic description of tact in a specific scenario. “tact” is how you approach something. You can honestly want to tell someone to stop eating meat with a joke relying on grossness, and get different results based on how you go about doing so.

        Basic socializing skills. Standup commedians are basically professional social tacticians. The fact I have to explain this, and am getting downvoted for it is pathetic.

        Do better, vegans.

            Duh. Why do you think I said it’s a bad tact with confidance? I’m talking from experience, dummy.

          I just don’t know what SA-ing and yuck on their yum means. It’s like the internet version of Foghorn Leghorn.

            SA is ::: spoiler spoiler Sexual Assault :::

            Yucking someone’s yum is just a phrase about trying to turn someone away from something they enjoy. like if someone was to tell me that knee pits aren’t sexy I’d say ‘don’t yuck my yum’
