Wait, you're the troll who insists being called drag is the same as someone trans wanting to be called s/he, aren't you?

I don't know the other user, but this is irrelevant to this conversation.

Omnivore is biological designation of the type of foods that our bodies are biologically equipped to handle. Note that "capable of eating/digesting meat" does not mean must eat meat. Animals in that category would be "obligate carnivores."

"Meateater" is probably the more common term for someone who makes the lifestyle choice to consume animal products. But "carnist" is intended to encompass non-food uses (e.g. wearing leather). While it may be used as a pejorative by the vegan community, any term is likely to be used that way (including omnivore or meateater) when describing a group that one views with contempt.

But veganism can use leather and eat meat in the appropriate circumstances come to think of it.

Edit: just to be clear, this was something I was told by other Vegans, including in person. Roadkill or an existing carcass of an animal that dies naturally for example are fine.
