The Post that Started a War

This post, which depicted a plate of freshly seasoned chicken wings  in front of a roaring fire marked the beginning of  what was to be called the Vegan Tumblr Riot of 2012. Tumblr, which is internally well known for make personal offenses public, thus drawing in large crowds of opposing views and starting 'wars'. What started as the opinion of a minority of vegans* became a wide scale debate on if something which is usually consituted as not being offensive should be regulated because of a 'few hard core extremists'.
