The post we're commenting on they're saying milk causes autism, like out of their ass. Just like they did with vaccines. You say they aren't the villain, but making shit up about people with medical conditions doesn't make you a hero.

I agree with you. I don't think this is a particularly useful spending of their time and resources since there's a plethora of reasons not to consume dairy. However, you did bring up their kill shelters which I responded to.

Again, I am not defending them using their don't-consume-dairy-to-prevent-autism shtick. I don't agree with their outright villainisation in regards to everything else they do, which is definitely heaps more than the average non-vegan does in terms of pro-animal advocacy.

What specifically have they achieved? What is all of this lying and showboating they constantly do getting them? Has there been a major societal shift toward veganism caused by PETA that I missed?

I just wanted to say that regardless of our opinions I was sort of rude in my phrasing. Sorry for that.

No worries. I appreciate you saying that.
