I’m not sure why you decided an appropriate way to respond to me in your previous post was to explicitly call me ignorant – I thought from this thread that condescension was something vegans were opposed to! – but pointing out that I’m verifiably not seemed to be a reasonable response.
The fact that a small group (or really, some area of commerce in this case) has recently appropriated a term that is in widespread current use with an accepted meaning doesn’t suddenly mean the meaning has shifted “because etymological fallacy”. It doesn’t work that way.
Even if it did: of course you’re completely free to call something that is neither cheese nor from a buffalo “buffalo milk mozzarella”, and to enjoy the food, just as some people enjoy “espresso” made with an aeropress or “apple pie” made with Ritz Crackers, but surely you’ll agree with me that when people like @heh and @anon59592690 raise usage issues, throwing fallacy names in their faces doesn’t move the discussion forward. I mean, just look at this derailment.
