almost every post
Most posts on Lemmy aren't about vegans. Are you obnoxiously bringing veganism everywhere with you and wondering why people react negatively?
I use Arch btw
I love chicken, pork, and beef. I have tried the meat alternatives and I like most of what I have tried. I would be vegetarian if it honestly wasn't so expensive sometimes. Not to say meat isn't also expensive.
I work with a guy who is a vegan and honestly. I don't get the hate towards the life style. Guy is as healthy as they get and morally more sound in the area of food than I am.
What am I missing on Vegan hate or even vegetarian hate. No one imposes on me. Honestly, I feel like they have something figured out I dont.
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.
Keyword is small. It’s important not to extrapolate against a populace based on the actions of their extremist or reactionary members.
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
I know several vegans and they're all cool. The terminally online militant ones suck.
And then someone makes a meta post like this, restarting the cycle
Shitposting sub might not be the best place if you don't like people taking the piss
It's because the cat food thing is such a stupid hill to die on. Like if you wanted to engineer a viral marketing campaign to make vegans look dumb, you could not have done a better job.
I do agree the joke has run it's course, as funny as it was.
Indeed, everyone certainly made a meal of it.
Yeah but some of them had to take supplements as well after
Well it certainly gave us alot to chew on.
alot
Do notional creatures count?
"Chew on", in this case, is a figure of speech meaning "think about," typically in a different light than previously afforded on the topic.
No one would actually eat an alot. Alots are intelligent and friendly.

So are pigs, unlike humans. Still, eating pigs is generally accepted, while eating humans is not.
Iirc all the recent hate is focused on vegans who think obligate carnivores can be turned vegan.
Don't abuse your pets or just maybe don't have pets at all.
Obligate Carnivore is a great band name.
I remember when this was just a joke on Futurama. Why does life imitate art in the dumbest way possible‽
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 the days when the fediverse was such a cool and interesting idea only to watch it become a "woaw vegans dumb amirite" circlejerk
Go shove a carrot in it, vegan.
guys I’m new to Lemmy and all I see are references to some began shit and beans. What the fuck was happening?
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.
We disagree on why beans are great
Cheap hearty food. Beans are wonderful. Affordable. Shelf stable. Full of protein. And tasty.
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.
The beanposting is unrelated to the vegan drama, Lemmy just really likes beans. It was one of our first home-grown memes
It's almost as if people have nothing better to do than to be keyboard warriors online.
