my homophobic mom returned a library book because a fucking talking plant wanted to be referred to as ‘they’ instead of ‘it’
Congrats to your mom on breaking ground as the worlds first transbotanophobe
managed to be racist to a race that doesn’t even exist. advanced racism
talking plants exist??!? i wanna talk to one and learn what they think about veganism
I imagine they’d he in favour, seeing as animal consumption necessitates more plant foods than a vegan diet. Feeding calories to livestock and eating them is much less efficient than directly eating plants.
The fact that Poison Ivy hates vegans and thinks humans should only eat meat is evidence that her goals and motives aren’t rational. Her argument is pure emotion, she hasn’t thought anything through about what her goals would do to the plants she’s trying to protect.
this is largely irrelevant, since most of the plants that are fed to animals are crop seconds or parts of plants that we don’t want to eat. they eat, for instance, cottonseed, which we grow for textiles, and soy cake, which is a byproduct of soybean oil production.
aside, plants love spreading seeds. they probably think it’s better to grow more of them.
but would a talking plant have enough intelligence to think of that? couldn’t they even go as far as to hate the plants commonly used as food and thus like that more of them are being eaten? depending on the type of plant they are, the death of other plants could mean that the type of plant that the talking plant is could have better or longer lives after the death of those other plants
Sounds awesome. I’m always looking for more books to read. What book was it?
I’m not the op of the comment, but there is a good chance it is Semiosis by Sue Burke. It’s such a fun read, and quite unique for several reasons.
