There is a small vocal minority that essentially equates anyone who keeps eating meat regardless of circumstances, preference or nuance, [to killers, murderers, etc]. Honestly a large amount of people would take a vegan option if it tasted the same, had the same texture, was as cheap or cheaper than meat, was as accessible, and didn't require learning a new skill set. There's also the availability when eating out.

Antagonizing people like that is a good way to have them disagree out of spite, and the militant vegans always have a way of inserting themselves into every conversation. I had to block people on lemmy because I just didnt want to deal with that here.

Unfortunately a vegan who is a good person isn't alwayd out there proselytizing at every chance they get in a non intrusive manner, so people rarely if ever see vegans who are reasonable people relative to vegan extremists.

The vegan hate likely comes from people who dont really know vegans or only know them from the internet so they only know the vocal minority

Mostly bandwagon hate because of a vocal minority. TBH I find it amusing the people who really ride it act just like they are complaining about.

Also strict diets require more nutritional knowledge that some seem to be lacking.

They are a small, harmless minority. Isn't that enough? Maybe it's made worse by the fact that they are perceived as non-violent and effeminate, because of their strong opposition to suffering, even when the victims are helpless, like animals. There is no personal risk in bullying them. It's like the hate for environmental activists, trans-women, or liberals in general. I wouldn't know that vegans aggressively proselytize their life-style if people didn't aggressively tell me so; something that they share with "the gays". Of course, people wouldn't mind if they didn't shove it in their faces all the time. Where have I heard that before?

Everyone who keeps posting this ignores that there has been vegan cat food for years, supplemented with necessary vitamins etc and backed up with scientific research. They didn't make it up out of thin air as you seem to be implying. Sceptism or disagreement is fine. Painting the other side as lunatics is not.

Obligate Carnivore is a great band name.

I remember when this was just a joke on Futurama. Why does life imitate art in the dumbest way possible‽

What vegan thinks you can turn a cat vegan? That's like thinking you can turn a cat hegelian or something.

Isn't it funny how meatheads act like they pretend vegans act all the time?

Ha , gottem

On my instance a guy opened a community where he posted cooking recipes he liked. There was a vegan that complained that they contained meat. The vegan got a lot of deserved flak for that. Even from other vegans.

Vegans really like beans and Lemmy also really likes beans. But not in a began way so they started fighting. There were some riots and a lot of beans were murdered. It was sad.

Some vegans got into a fight over cat food. Whether or not you agree that cats can be fed with vegan alternatives, it's still just cat food.

A bunch of vegans said they feed their pets only vegan food, whilst they are carnivores. Mod stopped the conv to prevent animal abuse.

Some Vegans got angry.

I agree with mods, last thing we need here are echo chambers for dangerous information

The beanposting is unrelated to the vegan drama, Lemmy just really likes beans. It was one of our first home-grown memes

I'm...not?
