You can agree that something is ethically vegan without agreeing that it's a good thing to do.

Everyone is vegan or vegetarian for their own reasons

A lot of people are vegan or vegetarian for the same reason. Plenty of groups within the movement have theory and a party line

G*mers are actually the most oppressed minority

Fortunately, Edie is an unambiguously female name,

Is it? My first glance would assume it's some variant spelling of Eddie. Never run into anyone called Edie.

Bears are extinct in my country and all the cool caves got used to make cheese.

While piracy isn't stealing, piracy does decrease profits of the rightful owner.

Only if you would otherwise have bought it. If you never had any intention to buy the thing, the rightful owner loses nothing.

There's an element selector tool, looks a bit like the colour picker, click that, then click on the missed ad.

Same reason it's ethical to kill billionaires and eat the rich.

If I had come about through the unwilling merger of two people, and my death could restore those people, it's probably ethical to kill me to make it happen.

I don't think it's necessarily reasonable to call the two component people dead either. Death is a not a particularly well defined term, but we don't tend to apply it to people who might get better.

Why don't we just harvest your organs and give them to people we deem more useful, ya know?

The knowledge that you live in a society where you could be legally killed at any point for the greater good, and the resultant fear and uncertainty probably would cause more harm overall than doing so could actually alleviate.

One for one, sure. One for two? I can see the argument.
