The part that bothers me is that the most toxic members of the community tend to be boosted. Although I can agree that vegans are right about most things, I would argue that there's lots of things vegans are wrong about, like arguing that cultivated meat is inviable/immoral/etc. Maybe what bothers you most is that you view your own lifestyle as immoral, but not everyone agrees with you, and you shouldn't presume to speak for everyone.
Speaking from experience, I really resented all the "toxic vegans" I experienced while I was becoming vegan, but looking back I'm quite thankful for them. The reason they seemed so toxic was because they kept highlighting my own moral inconsistencies. This raised cognitive dissonance which felt like a personal attack. It's an unpleasant experience.
Of course there were also a lot of "good vegans" I'm thankful of as well who would patiently answer any of my questions, and this is the approach I try and take myself (although sometimes I don't succeed, I'm sure).
The "toxic members" are probably the most outspoken ones just like how the feminists are viewed as extremists.
No; saying anyone who eats meat loves torturing animals and berating people who want to reduce meat in their diet for not doing enough isn't helpful.
People need to be held accountable for actions that cause others harm.
Oh wow, what a completely irrelevant point to bring up.
Speak for yourself
