Why are people so rude to vegans ?

BlueVeins · 22-25
Because vegans remind them of the moral implications of the practice of killing and eating sentient beings. Stereotyping vegans as overly pushy & anemic is an effective way to avoid engaging with the reasoning behind our decisions. It's not entirely unlike how conservatives and proto-fascists will laser focus in on rioters and "reverse racists" (for lack of a better term) to distract from a very serious conversation about racial justice in America.

@MrBrownstone Level 0 comprehension skills on display right there
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@BlueVeins No. Just destroyed your argument and your coping mechanism is insults. Insults mean I won the debate. Thanks!

@MrBrownstone Plants can regenerate from seeds though and many even depend on people eating them to spread seeds so they can spread and then get replanted back into the soil. When animals are killed, they have to do more and more extreme measures to keep up with consumerism, thus unethical. There's only one of that animal, to make it breed more, you have to do uh.. some shady stuff to get bigger animals and more and more and more and more animals.

I’m only rude when they get in my face and start preaching about it. Some of them act like they are virtuous for not consuming animal products. Why don’t they preach about harvesting the organs of aborted babies, they are being used for all sorts of products, medical, vaccines, food (HEK flavorings in processed foods) and expensive cosmetics.

@Nimbus I added more to my answer.
Nimbus · M
@cherokeepatti Yes, there are numerous things we can protest about but don't.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Nimbus Priorities should be in order.

Vegans are the most self righteous twits on the planet. How do you know there is a vegan in the room. Wait 30 seconds they will tell you.
HeidiA · 41-45, F
They won’t shut the fuck up?

It’s like someone choosing to tell you they’re left handed every time they are asked to write their name. Not necessary.

@HeidiA 👍

My own limited experience is that non-vegans tend to be excessively polite to vegans, or to change the subject. The important thing is to expose the false claims vegans make and the damage they can do. Also they make very annoying dinner party guests.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@MartinII eggplant, Portabello mushrooms, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, and zucchini with onions and butter packets are favorites of mine.
MartinII · 70-79, M
@cherokeepatti Yes, I like to barbecue or grill zuccini and eggplant. Also red peppers.
Nimbus · M
@MartinII 👍

Same with vegans

Because newborns need protein, lack of protein has been linked to autism by some doctors. Meat is good for you, especially in moderation.

Being extreme in anything is bad.
AbbeyRhode · F
@therighttothink50 Pets, too. People who force veganism on pets that are meant to be carnivores are actually harming their health.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@therighttothink50 I think those doctors are deflecting what vaccines have done to the growing brains of babies…thiomersal is an organMercury compound added to vaccines and mercury goes straight to the brain.

@AbbeyRhode a vegan Swedish doctor stayed here for 2 weeks when he was making arrangements to return to the USA. He told me that he had owned a Maine Coon cat (they are huge cats) and would feed him his “table scraps”…all vegan scraps. Then let him out during the daytime when he was working. Maine Coon cats are excellent hunters and I’m sure he was having to hunt every day for protein because Vegan food is not going to nourish a cat. Anyway that cat got hit by a car and died.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
They force their views on others I guess.

I guess people fear what they don't understand. I think it ridiculous let people decide for themselves what is right for them physically or morally if that's their reason.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
I don’t care what other people eat or don’t eat. But to even hint that everyone needs to stop consuming animal products encroaches on our freedom to choose. I can’t eat foods with gluten in them but I don’t go around telling everyone else even people I am close to that they shouldn’t eat it.

@SW-User 👍
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
I don't know, I've had people be rude to me when they asked what my diet was and I answered. People say vegans never shut up but their limited experiences are online only. They have biases and stuff, have a poor ability to self reflect.

Meat eaters never forget to remind us how much they like steak or make ignorant comments regarding veganism. They never shut up about eating it or offering me it even though they know I'm vegan.

All people lack self reflection, that's all it is.

They are cruel to the animals they eat and vegans have better morals than people who consume animal products. Greta Thunberg is certainly one of us.
Nimbus · M
@Lukeman 👍

Some vegans are rude and give the rest a bad reputation. Still no excuse though
TexChik · F
Jerks can be carnivorous too I suppose.

@TexChik 👍

Some can be quite obnoxious about it
Nimbus · M
@SW-User I guess so as they are human like the rest of us.

@Nimbus I want proof
Carissimi · 70-79, F
Why are people rude to anyone? I suppose I may be deemed rude to those I hold in contempt, like cruel, wicked, lying, deceivers who destroy rather than build or create, but I can’t help my disdain for those types, other than this, live and let live is my motto ... just don’t get in my face.
Nimbus · M
@Carissimi 👍
Azlotto · M
I'm not rude to vegans. They can eat the hell out of their fake meat for all I care.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Azlotto More meat and dairy for the rest of us, eh????
Azlotto · M
@cherokeepatti Lol...Indeed.
Nimbus · M
@Azlotto 👍
Piper · 61-69, F
I've often wondered about that, myself. The responses here are similar to those I received when I posted a question on the subject, many years ago.

I'd best not say more, lest I be seen as "self-righteously forcing my views on others", or something. 😐
Nimbus · M
@Piper 👍
AbbeyRhode · F
Some of them act superior and rude to others. But there are good and bad in almost all groups of people, and it's unreasonable to assume they are all alike.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode Do you think Greta Thunberg is one?
AbbeyRhode · F
@Nimbus No, I think she's a brainwashed tool, used by her greedy parents, who also failed to teach her manners and respect.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode Good point.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I have tried to joke around with vegans but somee are very sensitive about this matter.
I think it's from a lack of bacon in diet.


Just kidding, if this is their conviction, then it doesn't matter to me what they eat
Nimbus · M
Reflection2 · 36-40, M
I think we should just accept each other. Vegans or not. Atleast, non vegans should be greatful that less stress on food chain.
Nimbus · M
@Reflection2 Good point.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
because they are in alliance with The Dominion. I've seen every episode of Star Trek.
Nimbus · M
@GeniUs I musta missed that episode ;)
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@Nimbus Not my joke I'm afraid it was from a British sitcom, 'Just Good friends' from the 80s.
smiler2012 · 56-60
{@nimbus] 😆 are they like vulcans nimby like doctor spock . not there fault they have pointed ears
Nimbus · M
Fishy · F
Sometimes it's just banter, other times it's because there are some who try to dictate other people lives
Nimbus · M
@Fishy Good point.
Are you trying to say Vagina. That’s only those MGTOW guys.

Because they feel like thay are being judged for not being vegan.
Nimbus · M
@badminton 👍
JonathanSJ · 31-35, M
Because they kill plants and thus decrease oxygen on the planet.

Eh, I have no idea. I prefer to live and let live. And besides, a lot of vegan food tastes amazing. I'd have no problem having a picnic with a vegan
MartinII · 70-79, M
@TheLordOfHell I think diet is only part of the story. Veganism, as opposed to vegetarianism, isn’t only about food. As I understand it, a vegan refuses to have anything to do with any animal product. So, for example, a vegan wouldn’t wear leather gloves or woollen socks. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Nimbus · M
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
@MartinII Oh I don't know. There are plenty of vegans around who could tell you about the lifestyle, tho. I do respect their unwillingness to participate in the slaughter of animals tho. I'm omnivorous, and I still feel bad for eating them.
