The French Wars of Religion (1562-1598) were a series of eight conflicts between Protestant and Catholic factions in France lasting 36 years, The fighting ended in 1598 when Henry of Navarre, who had converted to Catholicism in 1593, was proclaimed Henry IV of France and issued the Edict of Nantes, which granted substantial rights and freedoms to the Huguenots. However, Catholics continued to have a hostile opinion of Protestants in general and of Henry, and his assassination in 1610 triggered a fresh round of Huguenot rebellions in the 1620s.
Tensions had been rising between Protestants and Catholics since 1534 but the religious and political situation worsened after Henry II (r. 1547-1559) died from an injury. His son, Francois II (Francis II, r. 1559-1560), crowned king at the age of 15, had been married to Mary, Queen of Scots (l. 1542-1587) who was the niece of Francis, Duke of Guise (l. 1519-1563) and his brother Charles, Cardinal of Lorraine (l. 1524-1574). Although Francis II was of age to rule on his own, his mother, Catherine de ‘Medici (l. 1519-1589) encouraged the Guise brothers to assume control as Francis II was inexperienced and sickly.
The House of Guise, devoutly Catholic, then exercised the power behind the throne and were hostile to the efforts of the Huguenots (French Protestants) who were advancing their vision in France. In March 1560, a group of Huguenots tried to kidnap Francis II to remove him from the influence of the Guise brothers. The plot, known as the Amboise Conspiracy, was discovered and anyone thought to be involved, as well as over 1,000 other Huguenots, were executed. In retaliation, Huguenots began vandalizing Catholic churches and rising tensions led to the Massacre of Vassy in March of 1562, in which Catholics killed more Protestants, starting the first war.
Conflict continued, with periods of armed peace between hostilities, until 1598 when King Henry IV, recognizing that France would never accept a Protestant king, converted to Catholicism (allegedly, with the famous line, “Paris is well worth a Mass”). His Edict of Nantes (1598), granting rights to Protestants in France while maintaining Catholic sovereignty, ended the French Wars of Religion (which had cost approximately 4 million lives) but did not address the underlying tensions which continued to erupt throughout the next century.

So’s the block button, which takes even less effort
Because they’re literally given the power to not see it if they don’t want to
Spoiler tag makes more sense because people may want to interact with your nonfood posts. Honestly not sure how you’re pretending “every vegan should block me” as the more “rational” response here lol
You’re the one posting about cooking and eating dead, murdered animals so it should be on you to at least spoiler it. I can tell doing this is extremely normal for you but it’s not for many of our users so for this to remain one of the few safe spaces on the internet where vegans can be themselves and not have to see this practice constantly… just spoiler it. I do that when I’m talking about drugs or suicide or even if I just write a wall of text randomly that could be disruptive to scrolling and it really doesn’t bother me at all
I really don’t wanna have to start maintaining a block list on my vegan website for people who can’t be bothered to press the “this might bother some people” button
Make a post about it so you can be properly bullied into following the communities rules instead of starting a struggle session in the megathread
Can you really not see why this is just a bad argument? Not to mention selfish? The exact same thing could be said about literally anything that we require content warnings for. Talking about SA? “Bro, just block me if you don’t wanna see detailed depictions of assault!” Traumatic gore (which is actually what “meat” really is)? “Come on bro, it takes no effort just to block me when I post gore images, so I shouldn’t have to figure out how to use spoiler tags late at night for your delicate snowflake sensibilities.” Even then it’s retroactive, people are not given the power to not see it if we don’t want to the first time around. Blocking you comes after we’ve already been forced to see something we didn’t want to see and only works in hypothetical future occurrences.
I love comparing “i cooked a bunch of chicken today” to graphic descriptions of sexual assault, a comparison which definitely doesn’t trivialize sexual violence or anything. Just wild
That’s not the comparison being made, the comparison being made is regarding “I don’t need to post a content warning because people who don’t want to see the content could have simply blocked me”, which is agnostic to what the content.
Intentional bad faith misreading of what I said as well as an unwillingness to even try to comprehend what I did say. Also, you don’t get to decide for other people what is traumatic for them. The self centered lib-brained gall of some people to think they’re the arbiters of other people’s trauma… Just wild.
Sexual violence when done against an animal is cool and good? Cause there’s no dairy without it.
If that’s what you want dude.
B-b-b-b-BLOCKED. Before youre once again b-b-b-b-banned! Banned for not censoring bones
