  • Subjective experiences are crazy! They’re also subject to interpretation as filtered through lived experience. How many non-self righteous vegans have you met that you didn’t even clock as vegan because they didn’t mention it. You’ll never know!
    And also I don’t believe you on the second point because most of us came here from reddit where ‘le narwhal bacons at midnight.’ “vegan hating” and “bacon” were the entire personality of r/all for nearly a decade.



  • I’ve met way more people who made hating vegans their whole personality than I have vegans who mention their lifestyle outside of the context of being offered something non-vegan.

    And how many have we seen make bacon their whole personality? Or Ron Swanson wannabees who think eating a steak is gender affirming care. No, this is a ridiculous argument. Every group of people is going to have self-righteous idiots.

    Yeah, but… Why do we base a creature’s right to exist on their intelligence as perceived by us? We have no idea what headlights look like to them or how stressful it is being a keystone prey species. I certainly wouldn’t want to walk a mile in their shoes. Personally they’re a massive nuisance and garden pest, but I understand we brought our* houses to them and not the other way around, so I don’t hold it against them.

    They’re not going to be splitting the atom any time soon.

    Oh, well actually that I do hold against them. Nevermind.
