I won't stand for the vegan bashing

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm vegan for health reasons and I have yet to meat one of the infamous vegans the stereotype portrays. I ask questions, look for recipes, etc, and everyone has been super nice. I think "those vegans" live primarily on Twitter and Reddit.

PS: I've had a working Linux system in daily use since I started back with Red Hat Halloween and I prefer Debían based installs like Pop!_OS and Mint D. Nothing against Arch but I ain't got time to fight the OS as well as my work.

EDIT: The typo stays.

I’ve met one or two. It’s like fine, it’s a major lifestyle change often associated with ethics that sets you aside from most of society. Many folks have a period of a few months to a year or two of being really annoying about shit like that. It happens with all sorts of folks: linux and arch users, freshly out queer people, people getting into polyamory, new converts to religions… frankly atheists and people who just converted to Christianity are the worst about it in my experience. And yeah these people are annoying. You’ve been annoying too I’m sure, we all have, it’s part of being a person and the people being annoying about these things are typically doing so at an age where some variant of that is a common experience

I've been annoying? I'VE BEEN ANNOYING?!? I take offense of your liberal use of the past tense, Captain.

I hear ya though. I guess I've been lucky in my interactions, but the memes make it seem like it's constant and ever present with vegans, and that doesn't match with my experience outside of the Internet.

Surprisingly sane take, I forget sometimes that not everything on the internet is straight cynicism. Ty.

They're also on Lemmy. I haven't been here long, but I've already seen 2.

One is right here in another comment chain, lol

This is very likely my very environmentally influenced view, but I think there was a period of time where being vegan was a trend among the health hipsters, who weren't vegan due to ethics, but because either everyone else was doing it or because they claim it has massive health benefits like they did for paleo, keto or other diets. Those I think could indeed fit that stereotype. Or maybe I'm living in a fairy tale.

I’ll stand for it in your absence.

Part of being vegan is understanding you'll be mocked and criticized for completely unrelated things. Like Bubly sparkling water or blue denim, for example.

Do you do CrossFit™?

I know what you mean, I always sit down first.
