"Bro, did you eat a date? That killed a bee or something. Not cool.”

I'm a level 5 vegan. I won't eat anything that casts a shadow.

You know what, it's so much easier to say you're an omnivore and end up eating meat once a year than to say you are a vegan who makes an exception about once a year. The first label would earn you a "wait so you're basically vegan?!" vs "you're not vegan then and you're a dirty cheater".

As you might have experienced, it's pretty hard to be vegan in a carnist world. People talk about animal abuse all the time, they confront you all the time, make fun of you. Most don't want to talk about it, they want to shut you up. The hate and ignorance is strong and different people react diffrently to that situation. Some stay quiet, like yourself, some get vocal. Some debate, some get angry. Calling vegans insufferable is like calling gays insufferable, or feminists. Some might be. We have recognized a major injustice and we want to change it.

"Bro, did you eat a date? That killed a bee or something. Not cool."

That's rage bait and you made it up. Why would anyone say that?

Spoken like a meat eating windows user

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as vegan, is in fact, GNU/vegan, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus vegan.

I've just discovered a new game: start posting how you love windows, meat and Elon, place bets who will attack you first

Every vegan I have met is one form of little bitch or another, without exception

Yes, them calling me a rapist totally made we want to be like them and adopt their ideology.

Their strain of it appears to be poison religion like fundamentalist Christianity or Islam. A fanatic is a fanatic, whatever paint they're dipped in. Guess they're just trying to fill a hole in themselves.

any movement will have more or less militant members. that's life.

I'm curious. You eat meat, but you're not in favour of massacres. Alright, explain it to me.

Hey. Do you have time to talk about our lord and saviour, Linus Torvalds?

Calling a group of people insane is so cool and good 👍🏻

I'm not vegan. But I find it very shady to talk shit about people like this.

For the most part, the "unreasonable vegan" stereotype comes from two places.

1. Confirmation bias. Veganism makes people uncomfortable with their own decisions, so people spread around the most outrageous stories about vegans as a defense mechanism. This is the same thing that happens in various circles with anyone whose mere existence makes other people insecure; e.g., teetotalers, or polyamorous people.
2. Just plain disagreeing with them. There are lots of vegan arguments that are logically valid, but they sound outrageous if you don't already agree with them. People have trouble looking past their initial emotional reactions, so they respond to logically valid arguments with mere incredulity.
