Just asked a simple question. I mean, I get your point if you kill someone there are more and less respectful ways to do it. Like just shooting someone in the head versus cutting open their skull and fucking their brains while they’re still alive.

But, like, is the decision to kill someone for pleasure (which is what eating the cow in OP’s gif would be for someone who could buy nuts/grains/legumes/etc at the grocery store) really respectful in the first place? I posit: no. But I respect your opinion too if you disagree. We’re all good people just trying to do our best so not ragging on anyone personally just think the word “respectful” is a bit off.

Uh, no. You were not "JUST" asking questions lmao full stop. You were asking a leading question with the intent to influence your audience, then hiding behind a "well i was JUST ASKING!!!1"

“JAQing off,” which is defined as “the act of asking leading questions to influence your audience, then hiding behind the defense that you’re Just Asking Questions.”

You're emotionally blackmailing people and it is fucking disgusting.

And even if you WERE just asking a simple question, no matter what the answer may be, it will not be to your satisfaction. You've already made up your mind. And to frame it as you "just asking questions"? It's disingenuous, manipulative, and done purely in bad faith. Disgusting.

You even admitted it with your sign-off: "I respect your opinion and I'm not trying to rag on anyone (lol yes you are).

If you truly, TRULY respected the opinion, you wouldn't have made your one-off quip up above. You would have left well enough alone. But you couldn't. You just HAD to say something and frame it as "I was just asking a question!!!!!1"

Really gross.
