almost every post
Most posts on Lemmy aren’t about vegans. Are you obnoxiously bringing veganism everywhere with you and wondering why people react negatively?
I use Arch btw

deleted by creator such a Lemmy thing to say.
I’m not vegan, and the posts aren’t aimed at me. Just have a look at c/lemmyshitpost
c/lemmyshitpost
The clue is in the name.
And then someone makes a meta post like this, restarting the cycle
I love chicken, pork, and beef. I have tried the meat alternatives and I like most of what I have tried. I would be vegetarian if it honestly wasn’t so expensive sometimes. Not to say meat isn’t also expensive.
I work with a guy who is a vegan and honestly. I don’t get the hate towards the life style. Guy is as healthy as they get and morally more sound in the area of food than I am.
What am I missing on Vegan hate or even vegetarian hate. No one imposes on me. Honestly, I feel like they have something figured out I dont.
There is a small vocal minority that essentially equates anyone who keeps eating meat regardless of circumstances, preference or nuance, [to killers, murderers, etc]. Honestly a large amount of people would take a vegan option if it tasted the same, had the same texture, was as cheap or cheaper than meat, was as accessible, and didn’t require learning a new skill set. There’s also the availability when eating out.
Antagonizing people like that is a good way to have them disagree out of spite, and the militant vegans always have a way of inserting themselves into every conversation. I had to block people on lemmy because I just didnt want to deal with that here.
Unfortunately a vegan who is a good person isn’t alwayd out there proselytizing at every chance they get in a non intrusive manner, so people rarely if ever see vegans who are reasonable people relative to vegan extremists.

That’s the thing imo, if
a veganisalwayd out there proselytizing at every chance they getthen they are by default nota good personeven if they do it in a supposednon intrusive mannerand are by defaultvegan extremistsimo. Proselytizing is in and of itself intrusive by definition imo, like ads.I think that’s what they said. Also is your ` key broken
clearly workinglmaoOf course
Keyword is small. It’s important not to extrapolate against a populace based on the actions of their extremist or reactionary members.
Mostly bandwagon hate because of a vocal minority. TBH I find it amusing the people who really ride it act just like they are complaining about.
Also strict diets require more nutritional knowledge that some seem to be lacking.
The vegan hate likely comes from people who dont really know vegans or only know them from the internet so they only know the vocal minority
I know several vegans and they’re all cool. The terminally online militant ones suck.

They are a small, harmless minority. Isn’t that enough? Maybe it’s made worse by the fact that they are perceived as non-violent and effeminate, because of their strong opposition to suffering, even when the victims are helpless, like animals. There is no personal risk in bullying them. It’s like the hate for environmental activists, trans-women, or liberals in general. I wouldn’t know that vegans aggressively proselytize their life-style if people didn’t aggressively tell me so; something that they share with “the gays”. Of course, people wouldn’t mind if they didn’t shove it in their faces all the time. Where have I heard that before?
The vocal minority of gays don’t call me a murderer for liking women.
Sure, but maybe they would, if you instead of liking ate their body parts and would pay an industry to kill them for that purpose? We can only speculate.
Yes, I’m quite aware vegans have a reason to be upset. Unfortunately, equating eating meat or drinking milk to personally murderering and torturing animals is not going to earn them any fans, and will in fact push people away from their just cause out of spite.
That’s not at all relevant to the comment I was responding to, though.
Believing that animals are just like us s hardly and outlandish belief, on the facts. We’re evolutionarily closely related. We have basically the same skeleton. Skull, spine, rib cage, hips, 4 extremities. Arms and legs go: 1 big bone, 2 smaller bones, and lotsa little bones. It looks to be the same with the brain.
We expect vegans not to blow up slaughterhouses or such. Fair enough. But expecting them to shut up about their beliefs is a bit much, no? Expecting them not to tell people how they feel, not to kiss in public, or hold a pride para… Sorry, wrong prosecuted minority.
I’ve heard these takes about vegans for literal decades now, and not once has an actual vegan popped up to tell me that I’m a murderer.
Okay? The ONLY thing I mentioned was them calling people murderers. Glad you haven’t, but I have had that happen. Another thing I’ve seen that I have issue with is vegans pushing their diets on their carnivorous pets. Like cats. But I have literally no problem with 99% of vegans expressing their beliefs.

their just cause
Like I said. I even think they’re usually in the right. While I’m not a vegan for my own personal reasons, I hope they eventually make a positive change in the world.
Well, it’s what they believe. What exactly is the problem there? I have never been called a murderer. There just aren’t that many vegans around. I don’t know in what kind of circles this would be a common occurrence.
Well, it’s what they believe
I’m sorry but this is a dogshit justification in nearly every situation
At first, I was confused. Isn’t the fact that you believe something the only justification for saying something? I mean, otherwise you’d be lying. But you’re saying you disagree with the belief in the first place, right?
I’m saying that the idea that something is justified because it is believed makes no sense. Apologies for being unclear.
Animals massively outnumber us. It’s not our fault they are cowards and can’t organize a rebellion properly.
I do agree the joke has run it’s course, as funny as it was.
Indeed, everyone certainly made a meal of it.
Yeah but some of them had to take supplements as well after
Well it certainly gave us alot to chew on.
alot
Do notional creatures count?
“Chew on”, in this case, is a figure of speech meaning “think about,” typically in a different light than previously afforded on the topic.
No one would actually eat an alot. Alots are intelligent and friendly.

So are pigs, unlike humans. Still, eating pigs is generally accepted, while eating humans is not.
I would say it depends on the human. Same reason why I only eat jerk chicken.
There are exceptions.
Pigs are delicious tho
Of course, they are very important!
At this point we really need some fresh meat
Attacking the marginalized is never funny.
Lmao vegans aren’t “marginalized”
That word does not mean what you think it means.
Farm animals are though
Your reaction says otherwise.
It’s fine, I’m 1/4th vegan myself
It’s because the cat food thing is such a stupid hill to die on. Like if you wanted to engineer a viral marketing campaign to make vegans look dumb, you could not have done a better job.
Iirc all the recent hate is focused on vegans who think obligate carnivores can be turned vegan.
Don’t abuse your pets or just maybe don’t have pets at all.
Obligate Carnivore is a great band name.
I remember when this was just a joke on Futurama. Why does life imitate art in the dumbest way possible‽
Shitposting sub might not be the best place if you don’t like people taking the piss
Go shove a carrot in it, vegan.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It’s almost as if people have nothing better to do than to be keyboard warriors online.
guys I’m new to Lemmy and all I see are references to some vegan shit and beans. What the fuck was happening?
Vegans really like beans and Lemmy also really likes beans. But not in a began way so they started fighting. There were some riots and a lot of beans were murdered. It was sad.
The beanposting is unrelated to the vegan drama, Lemmy just really likes beans. It was one of our first home-grown memes
A bunch of vegans said they feed their pets only vegan food, whilst they are carnivores. Mod stopped the conv to prevent animal abuse.
Some Vegans got angry.
I agree with mods, last thing we need here are echo chambers for dangerous information

I remember the days when the fediverse was such a cool and interesting idea only to watch it become a “woaw vegans dumb amirite” circlejerk
Every platform needs a terrible meme that never goes away. Reddit picked a shoebox full of semen, we picked cat starvation.
Sounds like something a vegan would say 🤔
Isn’t it funny how meatheads act like they pretend vegans act all the time?
Such gas lighting. Vegans and Liberals do everything they accuse the Right of doing.
Stop insisting people have the right to torture animals.
Edit: Seems lemmy is worse at context than reddit ever was.
Feeding cats and other obligate carnivores a vegan diet is torture the same way feeding humans a sawdust only diet would be.
idk what you’re on about, they literally defended vegans.
