I've been doing this for some time now. Even if it's something that I consider important.

I just don't see the value in participating in a discussion that I have seen countless times already where the same points and arguments happen over and over again. One that I know wilI turn ugly. It's exhausting and I've decided to just opt-out.

I think meal prepping sucks donkey balls and most food that is meal prepped tastes like crap after its sat in the fridge/freezer. I have been personally attacked on more than one occasion for bringing this up so I just don't anymore.

Same here when it comes to food/taste. I criticised vegan mortadella(mostly water and oil) at some point and people absolutely lost it. Got some angry DMs by vegans explaining the concept of enjoyment to me. Not doing that again.

I've met some very kind vegans in real life, but the ones online can be downright vicious.

It cannot be healthy for a person to be that angry all the time. Sorry you experienced that and don't blame you for avoiding it now. People go absolutely insane over weird stuff, especially food related topics. It's weird how much folks stress themselves out over what others are eating/not eating/how their eating it.

Veganism itself is honestly a bit of a cult. In many ways it is an extremist moral position which actually takes on some pretty unhealthy habits just in case fish have feelings.
