*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

unblocking you temporarily just to say that this is by far the tamest callout-style post i have made in a hot second, 196 or not, both in my messaging and in reception :) people are being by and large very chill here and i am proud of this fact. when you see insults getting thrown, report it as it’s not allowed here. oktakecarebyeeee
Sure, it's super tame if you ignore the insults getting thrown against vegans, which are far more than the ones in the opposite direction both in this thread and elsewhere around Lemmy. But since those are sent against the same people you're throwing hostility against, everything is still "tame" to you. Fucking amazing.
"Could it be that I'm annoying and the broader Lemmyverse just doesn't like me? No, it's OP who deliberately got them going and turned them against me"
I'm not a vegan and I've never insulted people for eating meat, but I have eyes and I can observe that people get far more shit for being vegan than for not being so on this site. Keep on deluding yourself to maintain the fantasy that you're not in the wrong, though.
Get over yourself. Nobody cares what you eat, they care when they proselytize and demand that everyone takes their views. People don't hate vegans, they hate annoying soapbox screamers.
Nah.
That's a nice argument, senator. Why don't you back it up with a source?
You are making extraordinary claims here. All people challenging the status quo are hated on and attacked by a big part of the population. Be it vegans, queer people, feminists. How do we dare to question their identity, place in the world or behaviour by having an opini9n or by just fucking existing?
i don't know what you're talking about but the only reason anyone on lemmy hates vegans is because they accuse everyone who isn't vegan of being a murderer or whatever and then look around confused when people get mad at them for it like you're doing right now
