We have three options here:

All dairy products are actually non-dairy equivalents that happened to just take the original names.

There are equally intelligent milk-producing species that either keep themselves in a milk producing state or are otherwise forced into said state.

Or

There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.

Option 1: the best way to do things, but probably counts as a microaggression

Option 2.1: probably what Disney would go with

Option 2.2: the fanfiction explanation

Option 3: the grimdark version

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Perhaps it was option 2 or 3 originally which is why all the names are the same but over time transitioned into option 1 in a sort of abolition movement.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How would option 1 be a microagression?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I could imagine the dairy and veal industry being a very sore subject for cows in zootopia, and casual references to dairy products might be a painful barb for them.

lmao #3 is how they do it in bojack horseman. There's an intelligent chicken who has a "lesser" dumb chicken farm

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And those "lesser" chickens are created by injecting chickens after birth with something that makes them essentially mentally disabled, though they are still sentient

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know what?

Bojack should be depressed. His whole society should be destroyed. I'm glad I stopped watching the sad horse show.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It was a source of joy for me. I still miss the sad horse.

based on all the shit that cars 2 not only implies but explicitly shows on screen (genetically inferior racial underclass hell-bent on destruction of the civilised world, engine transphobia, sentient beings welded in place to do their work, force-feeding a man until his heart literally explodes out of his body, cartholicism), i would not at all be surprised if it turned out to be 3.

Option 4.

It’s a planet of the apes situation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.

This is why you don't see monkeys in zootopia

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They keep humans as livestock.

please, please, do not reply with a link of a fan comic about this,

i don't want to read it. but I have no self control

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Commenting for the link to the comic... for scientific reasons

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

i don’t want to read it. but I have no self control

Here you go

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Awwww, I was hoping for the opposite.

Maybe it’s like Beastars where animal products like eggs are just a pretty normal type of labor

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Zootopia? Based on what I've seen online, who's getting milked? Anything that moves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

There is even spontaneous milkage just squirting around all the time it seems (at least that's what I'm told, by an unaffiliated & deprived third party).

Coconuts, oats, cashews, almonds. I've heard good things about ice cream that uses avocado as the base too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I've tried 2 different avocado variations and both were delicious!

There isn't ice cream. They sell water based flavoured ice. Don't know what the English word for that is.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I think snowcone if it's crushed ice with flavour syrup added (though Snowcone might be a brand name that Americans just use for all of them)

Or sorbet if it's frozen fruit puree

Was thinking of th giant ice block at first, forgot about them scooping health code violations

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

What about these? Especially the one on the left? They aren't snowcones or sorbets. You might say popsicle but that leaves out the one on the left.

Someone said water ice. And that's the same we call them in German. But I've never heard that word anywhere. Maybe it's a UK thing or so.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Looks like an ice lolly

In the US, I've heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it's freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced "sherbert") if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that's event pricing for ya)

Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I'm pretty sure that's a brand name we use as a generic term.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”)

Sorbet and sherbert also called sherbet) are actually different. Sorbet is just fruit puree with sugar and water as needed. Sherbert also contains dairy, which adds fat and gives it a richer texture.

The almonds

Also why does Mickey Mouse keep Goofy's intellectually disabled relative as a pet? It's the sort of messed up thing I'd do, but not suitable for a children's character.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I've never understood this reaction. Goofy and Pluto are both dogs in the same way Humans and dogs are both mammals. They're not the same, just visually similar, but Goofy has more in common with Mickey than Pluto.

No, no, ...

The question (and shorter answer) is who isn't getting milked.

[–] ILikeBoobies 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

We have human milk ice cream, why do you think it’s weird in Zootopia to have milk from other mammals
