I like and admire vegans.
I probably should be vegan because I am lucky enough to have the economic privilege to support that kind of lifestyle.
But, as with many other communities centered around lifestyle topics, I would never want to participate in a vegan community. Lifestyle communities always become insular and echo-chambery, so you become a pariah if you don't properly adhere to 100% of the community consensus behaviors.
Not just vegans, but you see it happen with fitness communities, diy/home decor, a lot of hobbies, etc.
I'm just keeping an eye out for good recipes.
I like that approach.
I wonder why they would be mean...
Good job! This is the comment that made them turn vegan! Mission accomplished!
That's not the goal. They attack people because that makes them feel better. Animals? Who cares. Definitely not them.
I'm a cow and this made me feel better about my fate
yes. it is the vegans who really hate animals!
What I said is that you don't help animals with your hysteria. So I can conclude vegans struggle with logic. At least in your case.
Nope, thats projection when carnists refuse to read all the studies that supports the plant-based diet and act rude when they realize their actions cause harm.
Nah, facts dont care about feelings. Being vegan a day prevents the death of an animal.
If your belief lives or dies because of some internet comment it won't last anyway.
Edit: as in, what sustains it is the actual moral implications of a non-vegan lifestyle. I was convinced to go vegan by internet comments like this.
See here’s what’s really really funny, people over and over again say “man if the vegan people who were trying to convince me could just not be gigantic assholes about it then maybe it would be easier to join their community”
And then you come along and are a gigantic asshole about it and prove the entire point.
Super solid representation, 5/7, perfection.
If you need people to be nice to you to convince you, you care more about appearances than the argument. If people being rude stops you from acting on something you actually believe in you won't last a month as a vegan.
Going vegan means changing your habits, giving up a lot of your treats with nothing in return. You will be the weird one at christmas that needs "special" catering, people have to choose restaurants based on your habits and you will be the butt of a lot of jokes simply because you care about animals not being enslaved. If you need people to be nice to you, and applaud you and make you feel all warm and fuzzy to keep that going you won't last.
The first lesson every vegan needs to learn is: there are no rewards and no one will compliment you. You are doing this out of your own conviction and not for anyone else.
This is precisely the circlejerking mentioned in the meme. Whether true or not, the community presents itself as unwelcoming and self-aggrandizing. These are not traits that easily convince people to listen to the cause.
There's nothing to listen to, either you believe animal ag is horrendous and unethical and act on it or you don't. That's it. No pretty pleases are going to convince someone they have to give up their beloved steak and cheese for nothing in return.
Then why are you trying so hard to explain yourself?
Right, we get it, but if you tried attracting people to veganism with amazing recipes, and annecdotes of how much healthier you feel, people might come have a conversation and try making some vegan food. Instead these communities drive anyone non-vegan right out the door.
What's the expression? Honey will catch more flies?
Well this has been great, thanks for being the point.
good talk nice representation, really convinced me to be nicer to corpsemunchers going forward.
You're a breatharian? No corpse munching from you.
Are you pure enough that you feed the bacteria in your body without suffering?
this should be on a billboard.
thing is, it's a philosophy of empathy and compassion. you don't really join a.commmunity. there are no V cards I'm afraid.
This discussion is literally about the vegan community here on Lemmy
If belligerent internet comments actually convinced you to change your diet in such an inconvenient manner for no reward but moral superiority, you are not like the people you're trying to convince. Abusers and cults love bomb because its more effective on a random sample of people
I was going to stop torturing animals, but some mean vegan said some words that hurt my feelings.
So now I'm going to eat two burgers!
chortle!
I think I will actually do this now just to prove you wrong
legendary!
@Stovetop did not say nor implied that he/she is not vegan, because of the community.
Seems pretty clear to me.
You can take part in something without taking part in the community about that thing, though. I play guitar a lot, but I don't frequent any guitar-based communities
I'm fully aware, but "I'm not going vegan because they're so annoying" is a pretty common excuse.
It is a common excuse. And yet you're still being really annoying.
But blood is tasty...
Take the L dude.
Not only is that clearly not the reason in this case, of what you say is true (and I believe it considering your behavior) that's a pretty damning indictment about your collective personalities.
Youre blaming OTHERS for leaving your cause because YOU'RE impossible to put up with. Pathetic. The literal definition of that meme where the dude puts the stick into his bike spokes and then cries about it.
If you hate non-vegans so much then stop talking to them. Simple as.
Yeah that isn't what they said though
Then you need to go back to school for reading comprehension, because being a vegan and participating in a community about veganism are not the same thing, not even remotely close.
and yet that seems to be the stated reason...
Only because you're inferring a lot from a couple comments. You don't know why they aren't vegan (which could be for any number of reasons), the only thing you know, and are basing your entire assumptions on, is that they don't want to hang out in spaces full of insufferable vegans.
Only if you have poor reading comprehension.
You don't pocket mulch?!
I’m a level 5
Just don't interact with communities you dislike. It's a pretty bad excuse to blame other people for your decisions.
