When I see a knife, it never suggests a weapon, unless it is the kind of knife that is really a weapon, like a double-edged stiletto, or it is wielded by someone who has obvious intentions to use it as a weapon.
The knife from that logo does not look like a weapon, but just like a standard utility knife. Moreover, a crab cannot move a knife in the way in which it is used as a weapon, e.g. for stabbing, but only in a way similar to a human who eats using a knife. Therefore a crab does not suggest someone who uses a knife for violent purposes.
For people like myself, who do not buy industrially-made food, there is no other tool more important than knives. Without using knives every day, I would starve to death.
So you may be offended by seeing a knife that in your mind looks like a weapon, but I am offended when someone claims that one of the most essential, if not the most essential tool of the humans suggests violence or other bad things.
Some people may use knives seldom or never, but then their lives are completely dependent of the work of other humans who use knives to produce the things that sustain the lives of those who do not use knives.
- tracker1 3y agoThank you. Sometimes these trains of sensitivity in thought threads can be annoying. I definitely appreciate your contextual perspective and the ability to express it much more clearly and calmly than my own initial reaction. I'm not sure if we submit, as a society, need to see more Tex Avery cartoons as children. I genuinely feel that either a new civil war in the US and or global conflict is eminent and the young of today are largely ill prepared to say the least.
