    Thats a semantics arguement to a generalized statement which is special kind of stupid. I gave a detailed response to further explain why this applies to meat eating and even ended with saying we havent reached a point in society where its fair to judge others for not abandoning eating meat. Just because society has always done things a certain way, doesnt make it right or moral, slavery was the NORM until around the last couple 100 years, and now its near universally considered atrocious. Meat eating from once living animals will likely be the next once norm, now evil, societal concept. But we arent there yet

      The subjectivity of these takes is my entire point.

        Damn near everything is subjective dumbass, its why theres so many societal problems that are still around even though they’ve plagued us for centuries

          The entire purpose of a moral compass is to not be subjective. I didn’t make the claim that everyone should, or does, live by one set guideline. You did

            Morality to some degree HAS to be subjective as its based on the time period it is formed. Society progresses for a reason

              “My rights end where yours begin” is not subjective, as one easy example.

                  That’s not universal across all societies.

                  Historically, getting away with murder has been a privilege certain classes received.

            The idea that morality is entirely based on subjectivity is your personal opinion. You can’t use it as if it was a fact and ground your argument upon it like you could do with an actual fact.
