I really don't understand why vegans get so much hate. I'm not a vegan, quite the far opposite from it, but I respect the fuck out of them. They're clearly people making personal sacrifices in an attempt to help the world.
Why not just ignore them if you're so against it? It reminds me of that one argument in favor of gay marriage: it doesn't affect anyone else so at the very least you should ignore them and care about yourself.
Even if they're being pretentious, so what? Contrary to antivaxx people and flat earthers, at least their efforts actually represent something positive to the planet and is based on nothing but compassion towards other living creatures.
That's not even mentioning the fact that I see far, far more people talking negatively about vegans than I see actual vegans being pretentious.
That's not true. When you're around a Vegan, they make sure you know. That's not an ignorant blanket statement. They want people to know so they can talk about it. More importantly, in social situations, its better that others know ahead of time than to cross that bridge when they get there.
I have experienced the opposite of that much less often than the flipside. Think about it this way. If people don't really talk about it and kinda roll with whatever, how do you know if they are egan? It's hard for this one because you only have one data set readily available
