There is a small vocal minority that essentially equates anyone who keeps eating meat regardless of circumstances, preference or nuance, [to killers, murderers, etc]. 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.

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.

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

What am I missing on Vegan hate

Here specifically or in general? In general, nothing. Most well adjusted people don't form negative opinions about others based on their dietary choices.

On Lemmy specifically, the Vegan sub was promoting the idea that feeding obligate carnivores (cats) a strictly vegan diet is a totally rad thing to do. It's not. They're going to kill their damn cats.

It's not called pissposting

Indeed, everyone certainly made a meal of it.

Ha , gottem

Obligate Carnivore is a great band name.

Everyone who keeps posting this ignores that there has been vegan cat food for years, supplemented with necessary vitamins etc and backed up with scientific research. They didn't make it up out of thin air as you seem to be implying. Sceptism or disagreement is fine. Painting the other side as lunatics is not.

I remember when this was just a joke on Futurama. Why does life imitate art in the dumbest way possible‽

Don't threaten me with a good time.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm not vegan

Vegans really like beans and Lemmy also really likes beans. But not in a began way so they started fighting. There were some riots and a lot of beans were murdered. It was sad.

Some vegans got into a fight over cat food. Whether or not you agree that cats can be fed with vegan alternatives, it's still just cat food.
