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 not the diet or anything that bothers me; it’s the vegans themselves. They’re basically religious zealots but for food. If a meat eating atheist went around yelling at vegetarians and theists in unrelated discussions, I’d hate them too.
Militant vegans…and their very small world view.
Funny you should say that when veganism is about considering the suffering of other species and of climate breakdown.
