    Vegans are like religious people: most of them are totally fine. It’s the preachy and overly defensive ones that suck.

      I have never seen a vegan preach, here or on reddit. But i have seen hundreds of comments complaining about preachy vegans.

        That’s a streaming load of horse shit. You’re evidently wearing ideological blinders rivaling those of religious fundamentalists.

      Would you also consider it preachy when people criticize other cases of animal harm, like bullfighting or dog beating, or is it just the financing of factory farming that can’t be criticized? It’s troublesome that people enforce a social stigma that you can’t talk about what we do to farm animals without suffering social consequences.

        Dude made a joke at preachy hypocrites who kill a shitload of dogs. Lighten up and save your strawmen for another time.

                In this case I was talking about the OP tweet exchange, in which a guy replies specifically to peta

                And in my other comments I wasn’t referring to vegans in general either, only the preachy and overdefensive ones. All the vegans I know IRL are good people who aren’t constantly preachy and defensive.

        Because they’re using veganism as a substitute for having a personality. Never goes well.

        If you tell anybody to stop doing something they like they’re going to tell you to fuck off.

          Yeah like when they told us we shouldn’t use slaves anymore! Get off your high horse and stop telling us what to do!
