It's... so counterproductive. It's like zero waste, we don't need a few people doing it perfectly, we need millions doing it imperfectly. By being such dicks and so combative about it, they actively are stopping people from having anything to do with them and reducing their animal product consumption. I've recieved various responses to this, from "If someone being mean to you stops you from not continuing to torture animals then you're a really shitty person" (and like yeah you don't have to convince me, I'm already suicidal, but contrarianism and not liking groups that are dicks to you is human nature) to "I don't care, you're evil and deserve to feel bad" it really seems to me like those people ironically just like hurting others and don't really actually care about improving lives for animals. Give up animal products? Sure! Give up shitting on people? NEVER! Certainly not all vegans are this way but the vitriolic ones online certainly are and give the rest such a bad name.

Imagine being such a coward that you specifically choose to start shit on a community that has downvotes disabled.

Vegans use silly insults "out of a profound concern for animals...At social events, [they] sometimes gave graphic accounts of the slaughter of animals in an effort to make...dinner guests shun meat."

Edit: oh whoops, no, that was Hitler. My bad.

What in the goddamn is a 'goofy slur'?

If you value veganism either you should be vegan or you're lazy and want others to fix problems while you hinder them

Typical hypolipidemaniac.

TIL there’s vegan slurs. Don’t think I’ve ever been called something specific for being pro-meat. And I do loooooove my meat-based diet, let me assure you. No vegan slur would ever change that.

So reactionary, you going to start complaining about loud blue haired feminists next? Apparently it is too much to acknowledge those who can't advocate for themselves, but perfectly fine to participate in their genocide.
