Seriously, I can literally count on one hand the amount of times I've seen vegans being rude, but I can't even count the hundreds and hundreds of times I've seen people be rude to vegans.

And if you insist I'm wrong, that "no way hulk, vegans are sooooo annoying!" but I want you to seriously take time and reflect on how it really is. Because I think you've just brought into the wrong narrative.

Remember, you don't have to be a vegan. But we've really got to be so much better about how we regard vegans on the pop culture level. Especially because, in the end, you're the ones who can't shut up about them. END RANT.

Quick little adding note! There are absolutely some hugely important valid discussions when it comes to the way being vegan intersects with class / culture / racism - this rant was just about the larger popular way the notion itself treated with ugliness. Thanks + cheers!

I think people's defensiveness comes from a combination of predisposition to binary thinking, and recognizing the ethical ramifications of killing for food. They see the vegan as a "good" person for *not* eating animals and infer that anyone who *does* eat animals is "bad".

You would be surprised. Been vegan 25 years and my pre vegan diet was terrible. I didn’t eat fruit or vegetables at all. No one thought I would last.

Most if not all the vegans I know are for ethics but also recognize that it's not all ethical- such as the angus cow which afaik only exists because we eat it and would fail as a species on its own. Ceasing eating it would mean leaving it to die which they acknowledge is an issue
