The community generally doesn't like that name, as it has awkward, appropriating connotations.

What, and Rustacean doesn't? When we Uplift our Cetacean friends, is this sort of awkward appropriation really how you want to meet the newly-conscious masters of 3/4s of the planet?

(Cough.)

As an ex-sorta/kinda-its-complicated-vegan, this comment makes me smile, for sure :)

The purist REST crowd also has used "RESTafarian" for years, and they're almost indistinguishable when spoken...

I parse 'Rustacean' as appropriating crustaceans, not cetaceans. I'm rather less worried about annoying them, because i eat enough prawn toast that i'm already on their shitlist.

Pretty cool name with good connotations (like Bob Marley's music).

Did any rastafarians complain about that name, or raise this concern?

On the other hand, I can't imagine there are many rastafarians lurking on tumblr.
