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

    Because appx 1% of vegans are straight up obnoxious and indignant. And a similar percentage of meat eaters are also.

    Then everyone else just mildly gravitates to tribalism but probably doesn’t actually care that much.
