Seriously. That shit needs to die already. I really don't want to see this fascist fuckface all the time.

FYI, OP swapped the image, making your comment appear misleading. Everyone loves Calvin, the little gremlin!

Whenever anyone brings this up, I imagine a vegan sitting at a table with their new friends, refusing to eat any chicken wings, but also not saying why... And then everyone harassing them with a million questions like, "do you not like hot sauce? We can get barbecue", "are you on a diet?", "are you allergic?", etc, etc. Finally, after half an hour of this, they lose it and just as there's a lull in the music, they scream out, "look, I'm a vegan! I don't fucking eat meat! Fuck off!"

The whole bar goes quiet, staring, then one of the people at the table reaches for a wing, looks at the vegan, and says, "dude, chill, we get it, you don't eat meat, blah blah blah. You don't have to talk about it every 5 minutes! Here's some bread and butter."

I have to say, I am yet to encounter a cliche vegan.

Not a single vegan I've ever met brought up the topic, unless there was a reason for it. Like the scenario you described.

But I've met a whole lot of bros who made fun of vegans for existing and being annoying.

"You're vegan? No sweat! How about a bean and cheese burrito?"

Literally no one will ask you a million questions about arch

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (3 children)

That's why vegan != arch user. If you are vegan, you can not avoid the topic. Arch user could avoid the topic.

Every vegan that irritated me constantly brought it up....the folks who just did their thing got me curious as to why and educated me on some delicious food despite me not being vegan/vegetarian.

I will say I think Indian food is the best vegetarian food to the point that it's just good, you're not even worried about meat.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yep, I don't eat meat and I don't recall the last time I actually told someone that unprompted in real life. More likely it's one of my friends or family that says it for me, like I can't eat around the bacon that the chef accidentally put on my plate

Man, imagine being stuck not only in a distro-wars mindset, but also thinking vegans are some kind of problem. Not ever has any of my countless vegan friends started to talk about how great being a vegan is. Strangely this phenomenon seems to be limited to social media and I couldn't care less about that

[–] chetradley 30 points 9 months ago (1 children)

To the contrary. It's normally non-vegans making a big deal about it when they find out, asking the same questions, and attempting to debate.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Exactly. Open any post on the internet even slightly hinting towards veganism (or cute animals for that matter), and you’ll have the insufferable army posting gifs of sizzling bacon, steak being cut, or making jokes about how that one guy’s childhood chicken would make for a perfect chicken nugget.

You do realize that people with celiac disease aren't just choosing to not eat gluten right?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago (2 children)

True, but those are not the people the men's is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can't do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it's trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (7 children)

a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition

I was actually surprised by how little effort it really took? Like replace butter with margarine, slave milk with oatmilk and, unless you're baking, eggs aren't actually that important.

The rest is just choosing different meals. Roasted vegetables, fried rice, bulgur, beans etc. instead of steak or sausages or what have you. Get some starchy stuff, some veggy stuff, some proteiny stuff = heathy meal. Most nonvegans live less healthy than that. Then there really is only the B12 debate left, and if you want to err on the safe side just take some supplements. They're really cheap.

Sure, it wasn't 0 effort, but it wasn't exactly rocket science either. Just kind of look at what you're eating, throw out the non-vegan stuff and go from there. If you have any qualms about the exploitation of beings with a consciousness, who can feel the pain and suffering when their kids are killed just give it a try.

The people being mocked are the ones who have made "gluten free" trendy and that labelling far less reliable for folks with celiac.

I've met quite a few vegans and far as I know none of them avoid gluten. I also know someone with celiac disease, who would never even contemplate going vegan when he already has so many dietary restrictions to put up with.

They're not absolutely mutually exclusive groups, but pretty close to it I think. Slackware users who install everything through Snap are the real gluten-free vegans of the linux world.

[–] ghewl 14 points 9 months ago

I'm a vegan arch user. Not gluten-free. That's for gentoo.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

That's gentoo users actually

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

I think FreeBSD users are the literal gluten free vegans of the Linux community. That is if you want to consider them part of the community.

They don't use Linux and they don't use glibc.

I'm a celiac with a dairy allergy, but I use Fedora.

...

I miss cheese so much

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

this isn't true imo. not because it was never the case, but because nowadays arch is so easy to use it's a perfectly normal thing to do, "i use arch btw" isn't a shocking statement

the gluten free vegans of the computing world are NixOS users

In that there's a meme about them constantly talking about it, and any attempt to call the meme wrong is just used as further evidence in favor of it?

[–] Thcdenton 8 points 9 months ago

Dude every distro has users that won't shut the fuck up about it.

[–] BigTrout75 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Isn't this like complaining about what type of toilet paper somebody uses? Who gives a shit?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Those who want to spread the good news about cold water spraying on your dirty rosebud would give a shit. At least they would like to tell you about the life changing bidet.

Op neither likes people decided to not kill animals nor people using community driven distributions.

You could have used the original meme. The mindset matches
