The point is that it's portraying not blocking as an inherently negative thing, which isn't universally agreed upon at all. Plenty of people would say that they don't need any attention at all. It's not presenting objective in a neutral way, but rather labeling a group as bad.

Of course, it's probably fair to assume that the author has no intention of being neutral, but it's still valid grounds to criticize it as a data visualization.

I don't think I'd expect political neutrality from the admin of a website literally called "veganism" anyway.

You shouldn't expect it from ANY site really.

Thanks for the clarification, your second to last line says it all. Sometimes it's easy to forget that many online lack critical thinking skills and/or don't consider the source when browsing. Better to accommodate the lowest common denominator when possible...but to expect that from a biased, private site is asking a lot IMHO.
