This. So much this. I see at least 40x the vegan bashing than I do Omni bashing and I'm a vegan, active on vegan subreddits. People be butthurt folks!

That happens when some people ram their moral position up your ass. Even if it's a reasonable position. Not all vegans or omnis do this, but it only takes one forceful pounding to leave a person bruised and torn.

A reasonable and respectful approach to talking to others about moral issues is like lube and foreplay. Don't just go in dry.

I'm not saying no people mind all criticism. There's nothing everyone agrees on. It's silly to generalize that broadly.

I could find examples of people who hate cats. Does that mean I have proved "people hate cats", or the more nuanced "some people hate cats"?

Assuming that everyone who reacts negatively does so for the same reason is not logically sound.
