Well the grandparent responded to a comment observing no sympathy being shown, with a comment that showed no sympathy, instead with reasoning for why it's worthwhile, and downplaying any suffering. I am not saying dexwiz was encouraging/promoting suffering of pigs, but they were ignoring the original call to express sympathy to these animals.
- fastball 5y agoPeople can feel sympathy without displaying it on queue for your gratification.
- zizee 5y agoI think your missing the point I am trying to make. Hint: It's not for my gratification, I am not asking people to show sympathy. Ironically, you accuse people of "strawmanning", and then proceed do the same to me. Perhaps take a leaf out of your own book and stop assuming intent. Have a splendid day.
- fastball 5y ago> with a comment that showed no sympathy > but they were ignoring the original call to express sympathy to these animals. How is this not asking people to show sympathy?
- Sporktacular 5y agoIt's not for show. As I said it was weird IMO that no concern for the pig was expressed. Given their capacity for suffering I would hope that people genuinely feel concern, which is not an invitation for hollow expressions of pity. Just doing that wouldn't make a lack of concern any less strange to me. But dexwiz apparently enquired, or was at least aware that it seemed to have a reasonably good life. I guess that addressed my comment.
