The way you ask this makes me think you are a troll that wants to pick a fight.
Just in case you are not a troll: "vegan defenders" and "vegans" are no homogenous groups. There are a lot of different individuals that are vegan. And they do this for a bunch of different reasons.
Also your "vegan defenders": Defending against what? This implies that there are people who think veganism should be eradicated. This would be an extremly stupid opinion to have. You don't have to be vegan yourself but at least let other people live their life.
I honestly was being a bit of an ass for no reason, I do apologise. I'm a vegan myself, but only converted a few months ago. I'm just now depressed when I see how negatively people comment on anything vegan online, and spread misinfo frequently. Also I should've said "vegan-ism defenders"
People get paid a salary by meat/dairy industries to go online and astroturf against veganism. Its just part of being vegan online
I don't know about online, but in my day to day life most people who talk shit about vegans are exactly the sort of people you'd imagine; edgelords who think masculinity is congruent with being a dick.
FWIW I've come across multiple "PETA is the punchline" memes on Lemmy over the past few days, after having seen none that I remember. Not to jump to conclusions or claim conspiracy but I had already noted it to myself earlier today. I concur, the way some people approach the subject can be very depressing.
