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

    It’s the preachy judgmentalism that has led to the hatred of vegans. Of course I’m not trying to say all vegans are like that, it’s obviously a vocal minority. Most just eat their damn food and live their life.

    But I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been attacked on places like this and Reddit when I commented about meat.
