[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? - eviltoast

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    Because it is a fact that ethically speaking meat is extremely cruel. You’re proving my point exactly.

      I love how you just went “HAHA, CHECKMATE ANIMAL GENOCIDES” out of nowhere. This is why you get hate, you don’t know what a fact or a point is, and your ethics are weak. Just explain why a) you need to do diet gymnastics and take supplements to avoid animal products if they are so bad and b) are you implying every carnivore and omnivore animal is a monster?

      As i said, you do you, but be coherent and respectful. I respect vegans, morons are harder.

      Edit: I refuse to reply to someone unable to stop disrespecting others.

        Because we no monkey. No need unnecessary cruelty to live. Man not ruled by flavor. Simple enough?
