      I presume you know you’re lying, that’s why you named yourself jerkface

          I’m not taking a side in this, but I will point out saying “please educate yourself” while linking to a random YouTube video is pretty reminiscent of COVID deniers, antivaxers, and conspiracy theorists. YouTube isn’t a respectable source and the statement itself has been poisoned when used in that way.

          I’m not sure what would work for everyone of course, and some people won’t be convinced either way, but linking to multiple varied sources, preferably trustworthy ones, may help your argument.

              Nah, as I said I wasn’t taking a side. I criticized the form of the comment, as it was unlikely to get the desired engagement. My complaint was the delivery method of the argument, not the argument itself.

              I acknowledge and agree with plenty of arguments against the meat and slaughter industry, but the comment wasn’t just downvoted because of a complaint about industry. I’m sure some did, but the comment itself just feels like many of the issues some scientists have with science communication, as well as some people with other types of debunking. The tone itself runs people off, to the point where the comment is kinda useless.

              Just a personal option though; maybe it does work for some people. Also some personal bias; I prefer papers, sources, and the like over videos or documentaries. Partially because of how I am in general (I prefer tech docs over guide videos for work etc), and partially because I’m aware of many terrible documentaries that use production value to try and bamboozle people with lies.

          Yeah no I’m not sitting through a 2 hour biased documentary over the stance of “cheese is ok actually”.

    Ok, I can’t think of a way to interpret this other than: OP eats cheese that looks like this. OP, if I’m right (and I hope I’m not) please see a physician.
