What if my dietary preference was cannibalism? Then would it be okay to shit on my dietary preference?
Not eating animals isn't a dietary stance, it's an ethical stance.
What's this ethical stance about?
Is it about what you eat?
Is it an ethical stance about what you eat, and therefore a dietary stance?
You really chose the person saying "vegans aren't assholes, it's the preachy people who are the problem" to get preachy at didn't you?
I'm not a vegan, and I'm also not a fan of vegan preaching, but veganism extends beyond diet to include other products like clothes and makeup. So it's not entirely a dietary stance, that's just where it gets the most contention. Most people are mostly vegan outside the dietary sphere, so there's not much fighting to be had there.
Yes, I do know what veganism is. But in this case we're talking about food, and in that sphere veganism is a dietary preference. That it also has other lifestyle implications isn't really relevant to a conversation about food.
I am more than happy to be preachy about ending the suffering and abuse of literally billions of animals.
Listen, I appreciate someone who is at least not hostile towards vegans, but I hate this whole "I respect what vegans eat, so they should respect what I eat". Sir, you are eating an animal that was most likely tortured and abused its entire life up until the point it was murdered
It's just about the timing and choice of person you go preachy on is all.
I do not give a damn about your dietary preferences. At all, in the slightest.
And so who do you choose to annoy? Obviously the person saying vegans aren't the worst, but just "people".
It's like you're trying to persuade people that they're wrong when they say that vegans, like all people, have a range of "chill" to "insufferable".
Don't worry though, you have not shaken my beliefs. I just think you in particular are insufferable on this topic.
