Do you ever go with your friends to dinner? Do you expect them not to eat meat in front of you?
We are here on Lemmy sharing human experiences, it’s not reasonable to ask people to censor those experiences when they’re in the range of normal acceptable experiences for most people.
The original message I was just explaining why, as a westerner of course I’m exposed to meat. (I used to hunt with my dad)
And friends are going to order meat at a restaurant.
Meat gets ‘sanitized’ from the animal though, by name and visually.
Many meat eaters I know are fine with cuts, but are revolted by the actual images of prepped animals.
There was a huge controversy in a city I lived in, before vegetation/veganism became popular, the local newspaper showed a butcher carrying in small dead pigs over his shoulder to supply the shop. People were outraged " how dare he, think of the children, etc". If we had cancel culture back then that butcher would be ruined.
The city still went there for their sliced ham though.
Depends where you are from. If you are Hindu in India meat is not standard. Lots of vegetarians in that regian as well as Jain diet followers.
Then you have South Korean dog farms, so if we were posting strung up dogs people would be freaking out of NSFW tags.
Its all relative to desensitization.
im not saying you have to or should be forced to NSFW tag those images, but it can be highly distruving for a large number of people.
Like some friends love meat but if I shown them how you disembowel the rabbit or duck before cooking they’d be barfing

Some people just don’t want it in their face.
