Vegans do a better job of pissing everyone off about a pretty sensible topic than any community I’ve ever seen
It's because they don't actually give a shit about animals, they just want to feel morally superior.
Same as anyone wanting to ban x, y, or z "for the children".
Same as people who want to stop using a perfectly good term because they think it might be offensive to such-and-such group, despite never actually consulting any members of such-and-such group.
This is an absurd take. Vegans have to sacrifice a lot. I absolutely love animals and it's insane to me that someone can't see the amount of torture and murder of animals there is out there.
I decided to cut out, as much as is reasonably possible, anything that was made by or is these animals. I don't do this because I want to feel superior, I do it for the animals. Most vegans don't do this for attention. Just because you see some vegans shouting online doesn't mean we're all like that.
Yeah, I guess I should clarify that I only meant the terminally online ones
