Diona and Mushman Meat is Vegan
What this does
This makes Diona, Nymph, Mushman, and Killer Tomato meat vegan, as well as a the Veggie Burger, Diona Roast and Nymph's Peril. Note that other meat items using these meats, such as meat pies, will not be considered vegan. Additionally, Mushman meat can now be eaten by skeletons, and I don't think it could be before.
Why it's good
The Oxford dictionary defines veganism as: "The beliefs or practice of vegans; abstention from or avoidance of all food or other products of animal origin." Diona and mushmen are clearly not animals and so should obviously be vegan compliant.
How it was tested
I made a vegan character and ate the meat. I did not get sick.
Changelog
:cl:
- tweak: Vegans can now eat walking vegetables.
Surely vegans would consider sentient plants and fungi to be against their diet though
Ingame veganism is a genetic disease, not a moral choice, so the literal definition has no point in being there. That being said, it's funny to think that a vegan would have no qualms about killing and eating a nymph simply because they're leaflike.
turnip knows that we're going to rip his arms and legs off and rip him open and eat his insides and roast him alive and eat that stupid bastard when this gets merged
Why are some of these skeleton friendly but not others?
Mushman meat and killer tomato meat were initially not skeleton friendly. I assumed it was deliberate for the tomato, but butchering a humanoid mob and being unable to eat them as a skeleton seems unintentional so I added it to mushman meat. As far as Diona and Nymph meat becoming skeleton friendly: they already had that trait through inheritance, but needed the meat flag removed for the purposes of becoming vegan friendly.
