Most vegans aren't as bad as the popular stereotypes, but I'm still not giving up animal products anytime soon.

Vegans are good. Unlike carnivores, we don't hurt hurt animals just to feed or clothe ourselves.

Nominate: Carnivores

My sister is the vegan stereotype soooo easy Bad here
---

Good. I'm vegetarian but going vegan would be a bit too restrictive for me. I generally admire them.

Carnivores: Be more like this person. Sure, he's not a vegan. But that's fine, he's still doing a lot to prevent animal abuse. If we all at least became vegetarian, could you imagine how much better the world would be?

Also I voted good. I dont want to be a vegan, but they are helping the planet, so good on them.

I have a question for you. How would you feel if a bear took a look at you, saw you as food, and decided to kill and eat you? You're a hypocrite if you would feel this is any different than you doing the same to a chicken.

I can't imagine a world without bacon. It would be a horrible dystopia.

Used to be bad because of the stereotype

Now good because stereotypes generally aren't cool

And you can't have vegan bacon why? Look, I'll even link you to a recipe. You have no excuse.

The last time I had facon, it was among the most disgusting things I've ever had. I'm throwing up in my mouth just thinking of it.

The concept is good. I don't have the metabolism to support eating 10 kilos of food per day to sustain me at this point however.

The people though? LOL

And you somehow, in your strange carnivorous way of thinking, believe it's less disgusting to eat a part of a dead and rotting animal? Is this carnivorous logic?

You eat plants which animals eat. Now they're gonna starve.

I on the other hand mercifully put the animals that you starve out of their misery. So who is the good one?

It's omnivore logic, I think. Also I like how you nominated "carnivores", presumably so you can rate them as "bad" when most meat-eating humans are not in fact carnivores. Not sure why you want to rate your animal friends so harshly.

This tired "argument" again?

Do you realize how many plants an animal needs to eat to grow the meat you eat? It's more efficient for the plants to go to humans and not force the breeding of animals just to create meat. But I guess you'd rather there be less food for people just because you want a steak every so often.

Would you rather I use the term "carnist" which isn't well known outside of the vegan community?

Have fun eating rotting flesh from some poor innocent pig that was force fed throughout its life only for you to cook its mutilated body for your own twisted desires.

That's what the bear is programmed to do... its nature.

Anyways I'm pretty indifferent here. I was vegetarian for a while but I'm not anymore, although these days I'd be classified a pescatarian aside from once a month I'm craving a medium rare steak. I voted bad not because I'm at all against it but the majority of vegans hve met irl have always been very judgemental and it comes off all wrong when you're trying to convince me mid meal that I should change.

I've talked to a vegan person once (as far as I know) and they were pretty cool about it so I don't have anything bad to say

I doubt I could be vegan for more than like a week though
---

i knew a vegan. she was cool
---

Every vegan I know is rad and making good choices for their health, though I personally find cutting out eggs and milk to be going needlessly far

I voted bad, veganism is usually misguided based on nutritional and enviromental dogma. That said usually a vegan is at least thinking about what they're putting in their body so they're probably as a rule healthier people.

but also every time someone mentions veganism some edgelord comes along to announce how much they like bacon.

I was wondering where LJA had gone the other day. All is right with B8.

I have a friend who is vegetarian. I used to believe this but she eats poutine and french fries and 4 cheese pizza and garlic sticks all day so..

Veganism on the other hand would be damn near impossible to become fat unless you just ate jars of peanut butter all day

Good, most I've met have been fine and don't care what others eat. Also

These people are clearly the most annoying.
---

I know some really chill vegans who do it for their own health/because they think eating animals is gross. But I really hate those that try to force it down everyone's throats and act like they're saving the world by doing it.
---

good
i'm not one myself coz allow giving up cheese, but they're helping the planet
i find anti-vegans to be much more obnoxious and annoying than any vegan i've encountered.

what a stupid topic
---

most vegans I have met sucked so I went with bad. The concept itself is fine if you keep it to yourself though

I hope my reply didn't come off as unironic engagement. I'm fairly certain that I could not, in fact, defeat a bear in honorable combat.

Actually, science indicates that going vegan takes about 5 years off your life expectancy, especially when compared to those who eat meat and dairy responsibly.

I wanted LJA to remind more people why they should vote "no."

All you gotta do is get big and yell "Hey bear" over and over again and they'll run away scared

I've had some good vegan experiences. There's a good bit of truth to what some of them say, for sure. I went with Good, though I think a younger me would have said Bad.

You couldn't. You'd have to do it with dishonorable tactics, like shooting it.

Oh yeah, but don't do it to mama bears or they'll try to at minimum scare you off or maul you.

Good idea. I think I'll go find a bear and try that later on today, just in case I'm ever in a position where it becomes necessary. Thanks for the tip.

Carnivores in action, hurting innocent animals just because they can. It's a shame that these are the things that give you joy and make you feel like you're a strong one.

Bad! Not all the vegans I know are as toxic as Erin here, but their food is inferior to non-vegan food and they bring it to every gathering so still bad.
