Blood Effects Setting On/Off

I know that there is already a feed titled "blood," but it looks like that thread has been dead for quite some time now, so I thought I should start a new thread here. Here's my perspective: it's not...

@EdwardDLuffy He was 13 and would have already been exposed to things by that age either generally with friends at high school or in films or adverts anyway. It's the ''my kid is 6 and coming online to play this evening'' be it Apex or other shooters like COD ect and i just think this isn't something they should be doing at that age, especially unsupervised. I don't judge them at all but that's my opinion.

I imagine that's frustrating. I've had a similar conversation long time ago tbh and appreciate some might not for health concerns, they don't like killing animals or whatever other reason. I'm perfectly content with knowing i have to kill the animal to eat it. Grandparents are farmers in Sweden so i was aware from a young age of the process before it was packed and on the shelf.

Kill it quickly so it doesn't suffer and don't waste anything was and is the rule.

The only thing stopping me running around starkers is it's indecent exposure and illegal here. Also it's usually cold in the UK. 😛

That's the thing - eating meat is perfectly natural. As soon as people hear I am a vegan they immediately get defensive. I just don't like the idea that something has to die just to fill my fat stomach - but that's me. I have an issue with people who kill for fun but other than that I mind my own business 🙂

I don't eat eggs because I don't like the idea of all the day-old male chicks being killed.

I don't drink milk, eat butter, cheese because I think drinking/using a fluid created by another animal's body is a bit ... icky ...

Hey! I am in the UK! If you're ever in Devon PM me so we can meet up (post COVID) for some Apex tales and tips :D

@EdwardDLuffy That’s the thing. People feel so defensive if something’s not in their own ‘norm of comfort’. Heck, the bloodiest battles... mostly religion driven it seems are because of that ideology.

I eat meat & everything animal, despite me caring about nature, how weird and contradictory that may seem, yet I hold nothing against vegans or vegetarians... tho most vegan stuff I’ve eaten or drank sucks... but that’s another topic xD.

I think it was a very weird troll attempt or a weird fanatic. I think latter, but either way, it. was. weird. But great for laughs xD.

  @Koochi-Q I used to love cheese and vegan "cheese" is an abomination. My vegan chilli is ace though.
  
  Been vegan for about four years now. Used to be a veggie but lapsed back into a fully canivore for about 23 years.
  
  It was my parrot wot turned me vegan. It seemed weird and illogical that I loved, cared for and singled out a specific animal, while eating loads of others, and I am a very logical person.
