  No one hates vegans, but everyone loves to post vegan hate or idiotic “bacon” posts.

    Of all the meats to be obsessed about, redditbros went and picked one of the least appealing ones and decided to make it their entire personality 💀

      For real. I’ve been vegetarian for a few years now and of all the things I kind of miss, not once has bacon been even a slight craving. A good kebab on the other hand…

    The vast majority of people love bacon and bacon memes and jokes are part of the mainstream culture. Do you accommodate non-vegans? Why do you expect them to accommodate you?

      Do you accommodate non-vegans?

      That’s because they don’t consider non-veganism a morally acceptable option. Pick any action that you would personally find morally repugnant and ask yourself if you should accommodate people who do that action.

        Precisely. They make the same mistake that all extremists make. They believe that they are morally superior which justifies anything they say or do to anyone they see as inferior. The problem is that the rest of the world does not agree with them so they are reviled for their antisocial behaviour then constantly whine about how the people they harangue treat them badly.

      Vegans have no obligation to serve you flesh or secretions.

        Have your consisted simply minding your own business? No one wants you to serve them anything. The simply want you to keep your false sense of moral superiority and sanctimonious comments to yourself. It’s really quite simple.

  I wish that was true (and I’m not even vegan) but there are many outspoken anti-vegans. But then again they’re the types who will always find an out group to denigrate (in before someone oh-so-cleverly points out I’m doing the same to them).

    I think that you will find that these anti-vegans are reacting to the behaviour of the extremist.

      I don’t disagree, but then they’ll apply their hatred to the whole (or at least majority) of the group

        That, unfortunately, is how it goes. If the only vegans that most people deal with are the obnoxious assholes then they assume that every vegan is an obnoxious asshole.

  Nah, as a vegan most people act pretty hateful towards us even when we don’t bring up the topic.

    Most people only ever hear anything from the extremists so you get painted with the same brush. I have friends who are vegans who are amazing people. I go out of my way to accommodate them. You are getting hate because of a very small group of fanatics who believe that they are absolutely morally superior and that that absolute moral superiority justified doing and saying anything to anyone who doesn’t agree with them in an attempt to shame, harass, and intimidate them into doing what they are told.
