Would you also consider it preachy when people criticize other cases of animal harm, like bullfighting or dog beating, or is it just the financing of factory farming that can't be criticized? If not, what's the difference? It's troublesome that people enforce a social stigma that you can't talk about what we do to farm animals without suffering social consequences.

I have never seen a vegan preach, here or on reddit. But i have seen hundreds of comments complaining about preachy vegans.

And unfortunately the preachy ones are the only ones ever speaking up

Yeah, it's the ones who talk about their thoughts that are the issue. Fucking jerks!
