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
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.
How would option 1 be a microagression?
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.
Isn't option 1 all dairy products being non dairy? I'm sorry am i just particularly slow?
It is, but they retain the same names as dairy products did. If it was option 4, the cows in society would be separate from the milked creatures, so they might be totally unaffected by thinking about the dairy industry. It is unpleasant for different reasons, though
All mammals produce milk, not just cows.
Assuming zootopia never had a cows milk industry, dairy wouldn't be wrongly assumed to just mean bovine milk.
That’s what I’m saying. I’m interpreting “original names” to mean that they used to be made out of cow dairy products (instead of just happening on the same names we use), so option three is the only one where the cows in society might be totally unconnected to the dairy industry.
