Exactly my experience. I often heard stories of vegans being like that, but I never ever saw it so I thought it was just made up to belittle vegans.

Then I joined lemmy and found out that I'm apparently in favour of massacres, slavery and rape because I consume meat/milk/eggs from time to time.

I imagine the vast majority of vegans just go about their lives and resprectfully discuss the ethics of animal consumption when the topic comes up, but these loud militant members really make vegans look bad and they sure as hell make it so that even less people consider going vegan

Yes, them calling me a rapist totally made we want to be like them and adopt their ideology.

Their strain of it appears to be poison religion like fundamentalist Christianity or Islam. A fanatic is a fanatic, whatever paint they're dipped in. Guess they're just trying to fill a hole in themselves.

any movement will have more or less militant members. that's life.

I'm curious. You eat meat, but you're not in favour of massacres. Alright, explain it to me.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I'm not in favor of it, but I'm not going to stop eating meat. The second lab grown meat is available to people in my economic tier I'll switch exclusively to that.

Ah, so you're saying you don't like it, but you find it an acceptable sacrifice to make in exchange for yummy food?
