That’s definitely not true. Just yesterday I was eating a salad (with chicken and bacon even) and I had an older coworker pass by and grumpily tell me he didn’t eat rabbit food.
Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

No body hates veganism as a concept in and of itself. People dislike vegans that think they’re better than everyone else because they eat no animal product.

I do.
because vegans hate honey. And we need more honey because we need more bees. (Yes, this topic is more nuanced than that, and is species and geographically limited, but it stands.)

If you have the ability to hate an entire demographic of people based on the actions of a few in that demographic you really need to take a moment for some self-reflection.

the topic was “hating the concept of veganism”, not “demographic of people”. if you can’t separate people from concepts, there’s something wrong with you.
and if you don’t think that the planet needs more bees, there is something seriously ignorant with you.

How can you hate a concept that doesn’t even make any sense.
It’s like saying I hate the idea of the color red.
Also, I’m perfectly fine with bees. We need more bees.

There's definitely animosity toward veganism as a concept itself. The types who use the term "soyboy" and boomers who consider eating lots of red meat some kind of manly recreational pastime.

Yea, those guys are just assholes though - even friends I have that love steaks are aware it’s a luxury that shouldn’t be expected everyday.

They are used to there being teams in everything. If you are not like me, you are with the enemy team.
