Everyone have their own “hot takes” that either work as a valid opinion, or ragebait for drama. Personally, I have one that if I’m saying it to you all, maybe considered to be “too serious😈🤡”. The hot takes itself is . . .
God Never forbid man to do their [hobbies/fun], (toxic) society did
How about yours? I like to hear alongside the reason why ;)
(Edit: I’m aware that some takes may kinda too far and too deep, so let’s keep it casual)
Eating animals shouldn’t be socially acceptable and people who do should be treated like someone smoking in a public space.
The problem is it’s one of the most normal things in our culture. I’m guilty of it myself. I’d like to be vegan someday but I have other things to attend to before that’s a possibility.
My hot take is that meat shouldn’t at least not be substidized. Meat is comically cheap for what it is and everyone has to pay for it. I only treat myself to some fake salmon that is carrot based because it’s somehow more expensive than actual salmon. I often heard the argument that poor people would suffer because of it. If they REALLY need to eat meat then, like I don’t know, tough titty. Buy your own animal to torture.
Upvote for a truly hot take.
People smoking in public are treated badly? Where? Since when?
In the 80s, shopping malls had ashtrays at the end of every bench. Every workplace had a cloud of cigarette smoke at every entrance that you had to walk through. It’s much much more socially unacceptable to smoke cigarettes than it used to be.
Both of those things are still happening? At least if the benches are outside.
I’m talking about indoors. You could walk around smoking cigarettes inside the shopping mall. Nowadays most places in the world ban smoking in indoor public spaces and within whatever distance from building entrances. I don’t think there’s a shipping mall in North America that allows smoking indoors.
Ok. I usually don’t think of indoor when I read “in public”. Obviously you can’t smoke inside a store, not even in the 80s.
Perhaps not in a clothing store but you sure could smoke in supermarkets in the 80s and shopping carts even had ashtrays on them.
Edit: oops I’m being told that there were ashtrays in the fitting rooms and bathrooms in clothing stores too but as a kid my clothes were cash and carry.
