[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

Mastengwe ,

I can only speak for myself, but not eating meat is not something that’s offensive. Nothing about veganism as a diet is offensive or in need of being critical of.

It’s the reputation of them being insufferable and obnoxious. It’s their need to inject their diet into discussions that aren’t about them, or their diets. It’s the way they lord over everyone with a ‘holier than thou’ attitude.

And I have experienced all these things first hand- MANY times.

In short, the problem with vegans is that there aren’t enough positive and down-to-earth vegans to counter the bad ones.

Mastengwe ,

Same works in reverse, far more often than you think.

Mastengwe ,

Well said.

Mods in many of the major communities are removing a lot of the comments that disagree with far left and socialist ideologies. Soon it’ll really just be the echo chamber it was always intended to be and this won’t be a problem.

While polls broadly show Biden continuing to fall behind former President Donald Trump in swing states across the country, they consistently show the older, whiter states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as the most competitive for Biden. Trump has larger leads in the Sun Belt states, in large part owing to...

Ignore the polls and just vote.

You can fix the problem by just…. Not using YouTube.

Mastengwe ,

Irrelevant. If I don’t like something, I don’t use it. If I do like it, I don’t complain about it.

Mastengwe ,

YouTube isn’t society kiddo.

Mastengwe ,

Yes. If you don’t like it.

Mastengwe ,

This is not true.

Mastengwe ,

ROFL.

No, it doesn’t:

Mastengwe ,

Do you need more links that prove you wrong? Because there were tons.

Mastengwe ,

Every article I posted calls them MALE. You’re wrong man. Just accept it.

Mastengwe ,

You probably want to get on writing some letters to…. Seemingly ALL journalists on the subject along with every veterinary based resource site on the subject and let them know that they’re wrong about something that only you are right about.

old.reddit.com login redirects to www.reddit.com/login

I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com....

Mastengwe ,

So?

Mastengwe ,

That’s the same thing I do whenever I see people whining about Reddit on lemmy.

Let it go. She doesn’t love you anymore.

Mastengwe ,

Don’t let this get in the way of their manufactured outrage though. The socialists love a good hissy fit.

Mastengwe ,

I never said they don’t. But right wingers, leftists…. Same fucking thing.

Mastengwe ,

Hilarious.

Mastengwe ,

Yep. That’s exactly what I meant. Well said.

Mastengwe ,

And people get butthurt about Apple.

Mastengwe ,

My guess is that it’s because the average age of lemmy is somewhere around 15-17. It’s the only thing that makes sense. People are into that shit in their mid-late teens. Then they grow out of it.

It happens in every generation.

Mastengwe ,

Those places are basically just The_Donald for people who think they’re more clever than to fall for the typical bullshit that was found in The_Donald.

They’re not.

Mastengwe ,

I hope you replied this same thing to every comment posted answering OP’s question. Because that’s all anyone has to offer.

Mastengwe ,

Which is exactly what I said, genius.

Mastengwe ,

Is it possible to opt out of AI features in Windows?

Mastengwe ,

Wtf is this?

Mastengwe ,

I find it impossible for me to take people like that seriously at all. I keep picturing them as 16 year old kids that recently read an op-ed piece and now thinks they should whine about it to anyone that will listen.

Mastengwe ,

I’ve been saying this for quite a while. It’s impossibly to get people on lemmy to understand nuance. I was the same way when I was young which is why I really feel like the average age of a lemmy user has got to be around 16-17 years old.

Mastengwe ,

“Flame-throwing robot dogs don’t kill people, people kill people”

Mastengwe ,

Just opt out of discord. It’s a lot easier.

Mastengwe ,

Remember this when everyone tries to tell you that AI is beneficial. We have enough ignorance and racism. We don’t need computers pushing the narrative.

Mastengwe ,

Many people still work 9-5.

Mastengwe ,

There’s a lot of people on .ml, Hexbear and Lemmygrad that are probably celebrating right now.

Mastengwe ,

I know you’re wannabe-communists because it’s clear that based on your naivety and ignorance, none of you are out of high school yet.

No adult with half a brain would buy into that nonsense.

Mastengwe ,

The irony of someone making blanket statements about an entire country of people while simultaneously posturing as someone that should be above such behavior.

However, if you’re a communist- American or not- I’m smarter than you. Period. End of story.
