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

    That’s your example? A sub being the default on Reddit? That’s equal to protests in the streets by vegans to you?

      The sub being a default wasn’t. The content on that sub was though

        Atheists highlighting religious atrocities is very annoying, yes. Imagine just doing you thing, raping kids and murdering people for not believing in your religion and someone posting on Reddit about it. So annoying!

              No. You whining about how you’re right about everything and everyone is wrong in a post that’s not even about you or your belief is a perfect example of the similarities between veganism and internet atheism.

          My guy, I’m an atheist and a lot of the peeps on that subreddit were unbelievably obnoxious. Upvoting lame memes like “I’m at the library and I moved all the bibles to the fiction section LOL gottem!!”

          Atheists, like any group, including vegans, have some amount of people who get to that obnoxious state with their ideology.

      As an example of internet atheists being as obnoxious as internet vegans, yes that’s my example.

      Edit: with regards to the content it was posting back when it was a default, not the fact that it was a default

      Their example is 99% of the popular content for that board during that era.
