- Comment on X filing “thermonuclear lawsuit” in Texas should be “fatal,” Media Matters says 8 months ago:
I feel like all these giant legal teams have such incredible capabilities to push lawsuits however and wherever they want - it’s honestly hard to just keep up with what is happening and why.
This article does a good job of explaining as Ars typically does. But every lawsuit we read about these days is so convoluted that I can’t really understand it as much as I would like to.
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 cooking features "real meat" - does that mean vegans shouldn't play it? 9 months ago:
Can’t speak for the author as to their intentions, but that’s what I took from it.
I would just add, it doesn’t matter if it’s for food or for a game or anything else, an animal died. And in this case it was cheaper to get meat and take an animals life than make a digital version.
I’m not vegan, I’m not trying to speak for others, but it is my takeaway that the point is an animals life is worth less than a digital steak.

The headline is click bait imo but the article makes a somewhat valid point about the larger use of animal products in everything. The article lists paper money in the UK as an example so a vegan is essentially unable to use paper money without conflicting with their ideals.
I would say the point of articles like this is a reasonable way to bring awareness of how ubiquitous animal products are in everyday items.
I think it’s a valid topic with a headline written by marketing and an article written by someone with a point to make.
