If a vegan bites someone, are they still vegan?

[avatastic@avatastic.uk]

@catsalad yes, but kinkier.

[shinydan@mendeddrum.org]

@catsalad provided they got consent first, yes. there is applicable online precedent but it's a trifle squicky.

@ainmosni @catsalad Wasn't that a whole Thing a while back where a consenting person wanted to have a part of them amputated and eaten by someone else? I don't remember what happened to that - likely they couldn't find any hospital ethics board willing to sign off on it.

@catsalad well, it depends if they bite a human or an animal.
In the same way of thinking, if you make cheese with your own milk, is it vegan?

[rafaeldios@tkz.one]

@catsalad good question, !

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@catsalad

if a vegan bites someone, they lose vegan status for 48 hours.

[meowbotage@tech.lgbt]

@catsalad Did the biting vegan get consent before biting? This affects the answer.

@paul_ipv6 @catsalad Do they also lose their vegan superpowers?

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@GalbinusCaeli @catsalad

more importantly, they lose the right to tell eveyone they meet that they are vegan.

[robparsons@mastodon.social]

@catsalad doesn't it also depend on who they bite? For example, if they bite a vegan, they are still vegan, maybe. If they bite Trump, they might still be vegan because he contains no substance known to biology.

@JessTheUnstill @catsalad That was here in Germany indeed, you can read more about it here. The homocide complicates the matter though.

@ainmosni @catsalad Yikes that's... A rough read. I stopped after the first paragraph or two of the murder....
