[Discussion] Is anyone else afraid of others finding out you're vegan? (lemmy.ca)

Now days I try to avoid saying I'm vegan as much as possible because my mental health is fair and I feel lonely. Dealing with all the arguing can be too much sometimes. I hope in the future I would have more confidence for activism and informing others.

There was also a statistic that said vegans are the second most hated group after drug addicts. Neither social stigma is justified. People need to be more compassionate to other beings not matter how rough in a state they're.

But I would never be a pick me vegan and attack my morals to please others. I don't care if it makes meat eaters uncomfortable. Deal with it and do better!

I love mentioning it at the right moment, without making it a thing. I didn't get any real hate for it in a long time, that changed a lot in the past decade. If people want to talk about it, bring it on! I'm confident, educated and polite about it, but I speak up when they get too defending or parrot the bullshit bingo.

omg this vegan bullshit bingo is precious, it’s wild that vegan hate is so normalized and yet nearly all of the copes fit in a 5x5 grid
