Current Events > Why are vegans always so angry/ hostile/ crazy?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Cause they don't know what it's like over here on this side of the fence, where the grass is definitely way greener. I've been on both, and I would never go back.

I don't cook

Probably explains things. Most people don't particularly like raw veggies, the trick most people figure out is to prepare them in a way they find appetizing

If you don't like sweet potatoes or corn or any of the other staples even when cooked though, idk what to tell ya

why meat-eaters always bully vegans? :(

they only bully the self-righteous ones these days I think

It doesn't, it's the way Vegans act about non-vegans is what triggers people.

And who said that Vegans only eat vegetables, post honestly please.

Agendas and misinformation by appropriation.

Sorry vegans/herbivores.

When you eat a salad, everything was a living thing there, too.

The lettuce is a living thing, same as trees, root plants, etc.

Plants phosynthesize, grow, and trees grow from nutrients in the soil.

Theyre not getting proper nutrients. They definitely are cutting a lot of bad stuff out, but theyre not getting everything they need in their systems.

Fishing would be less entertaining if the fish could scream.

Factually inaccurate.

I heard tree's feel pain. Or at least react and change to things that would cause an animal pain.

no. they just react and create vibrations. they aren't experiencing pain, but their bodies are reacting to it and can be sensed by other life forms like animals

I don't know the details perfectly, but that's what I read. I think animals feel happier around healthy plants, but I don't know that for sure.

tbf for a bigger 'gotcha' i'd go with 'mushrooms are closer to animals' instead of 'plants are alive too!'

but you can eat mushrooms and most plants without killing them. every apple tree supplies an abundance of apples, every year for decades. every chicken supplies two breasts, two wings, two legs, etc., once.

The finality that is death is delicious natural flavouring.

dolomedes posted...

that's just fucked up, idk what to tell you

this probably doesn't apply to you, but most folks season their meat. with plants.

That's also nice but it doesn't really beat the taste of suffering. If they ever make plants that suffer and scream when you bite into them, then I'll be vegan. That's one thing I dislike about meat, I want it cooked but at that point it has stopped screaming.

Mmm I can just imagine it now and it just feels so good. Roast the little ones on the pan and listen to their exquisite screams as the heat sears their insides. Then as you bite into them and feel that nice crunch... The sheer agony they would experience. Delicious and nutritious baby plant tears.

Of course the grown ones would have witnessed this. They probably don't have eyes but I'm sure they can sense it. But not to worry. It'll be their time soon enough. Take your time slicing and dicing them into a beautiful crisp salad. Make sure a few are left barely alive so you get some delicious agony in every bite. You can add dressing if you like but nothing beats natural suffering.

Are you under the impression that protein only comes from meat

No one is under that impression.

Not in the same ways that we do, but they absolutely do.

They feel stress, which is a form of pain. Youre kind of dumbing down definitions to suit your argument.

---

Whenever meat vs. plant diets come up in conversation, meat-eaters tend to be much more obnoxious in my experience. Most vegans I know just mind their own business, and will still eat at restaurants with meat-eaters and order plant-based stuff on the menu, etc. But I've known plenty of meat-eaters who will refuse to eat at vegetarian restaurants, will rub it in everyone's face how much they love steak, and are usually pretty condescending. I've also seen it wrapped up in hyper-nationalism in the US too. Like you can't be a "real American" if you're a vegan. It ends up coming off as insecure.
---

Most vegans I know are pretty chill. People here need to stop looking at a certain CEman and think that he speaks for all vegans. He doesnt.

I know its not. But its not an excuse.

They don't "feel" anything. They don't have any sensory nerve cells. For someone talking about "dumbing down definitions", it's ironic that you responded the way you did. All plants do is respond to stimuli. These are automatic reactions that have no thought behind them

My cousin isn't like that at all.

Especially because he's not the only one.

Reminder for the trolls pretending plants feel pain to support eating meat: more plants and agriculture are used to feed livestock than would be used to support a vegan populace, so if you want to reduce plant suffering vegan is still the best answer

---

ROD, do you ever stop and think you should just like, not?
---

He's absolutely on point.

---

I eat meat and I still think people who like to eat meat for more than just "the taste" are far weirder/more annoying than most vegans.

Like there are people who are like "Even if they made a meat alternative that tasted just like *insert meat* I'd still rather eat the animal". That's nonsense.

---

Let's also not forget the weirdos who think stuff like the Impossible Burger is targeted at vegans/vegetarians and try to use that to criticize them

To be fair, these things definitely appeal to people who are newly vegan and still want that experience. Vegans aren't a monolith; plenty quit meat but still like the taste and experience of eating meat and want to replicate that.

Yes but that's still not their target audience.

Of course they're not going to complain if people that are already vegan eat those products, but it's targeted at people who are apprehensive about making the switch.
