I’m not sure Alfonse is right that there is a lot of the below going on here. Yeah, most of the ‘cunty’ responses are basically a shrug re: angling. But not much evidence that the op is being challenged on their preference for other wasteful and resource-heavy manufacturers of parts over one that makes money in the angling business. Or that asking the question is laughable because they may already own some Shimano (the inference of the cartoon might be something along those lines). Some pisstaking based on the sheer practical difficulty of avoiding Shimano I guess. Have you tried to run Campagnolo?!
Yeah it’s worth considering if nonviolence towards all creatures is a goal for you. Genuinely interested in what animal-free people do about working out how to avoid things like bone glues, say. I do think the expression ‘consistency journey’ is proper Birtspeak mind.
