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.
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.
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.
There is a small vocal minority that essentially equates anyone who keeps eating meat regardless of circumstances, preference or nuance. 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.
Keyword is small. It’s important not to extrapolate against a populace based on the actions of their extremist or reactionary members.

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.
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”.
The vocal minority of gays don’t call me a murderer for liking women.
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.
Animals massively outnumber us. It’s not our fault they are cowards and can’t organize a rebellion properly.
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
Also, live by sword die by sword. Vegans will give their opinions even when it’s not needed or appropriate so now that they have to hear everyoe elses they are annoyed
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.
I do agree the joke has run it’s course, as funny as it was.
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
Indeed, everyone certainly made a meal of it.
At this point we really need some fresh meat
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.
Pigs are delicious tho
I would say it depends on the human. Same reason why I only eat jerk chicken.
It’s almost as if people have nothing better to do than to be keyboard warriors online.
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.
