Please no brigading, I’m only linking for context.

Criticising the OP for being spiteful by saying “Served them right!” in the post when lack of customers resulted in menu changes, which still failed to save the restaurant is hardly “excusing carnism” or being a “fake vegan” in my opinion.

“fake vegan” isn’t in the rules anywhere either? Odd really.

Failing to celebrate the closure of a (formerly) vegan restaurant due to lack of customers hardly sounds like ‘carnist rhetoric’ (rule 5) to me but what do I know.

    So, to be clear, the restaurant was formally vegan. Then, due to financial struggles, added carnist options to the menu and alienated a lot of their regular vegan cuatomers resulting in them shutting down.

    This was old news.

    Also, I can understand the mods being spiteful about things like this. It sends a message that if you’re a vegan restaurant and you add carnist options then you will lose customers, not gain them. Valid point if you’re primary concern is animal welfare. I’m vegan and I don’t want to give money to any business that profiteers of animal cruelty.

    That said, I think the mod should just say that rather than banning you. Though perhaps those communities get brigaded with a lot of anti-vegan bad-faith bullshit arguments and the mods are a bit quick to the ban hammer as a result.
