The main reasons I’ve seen from vegans for not eating meat seem to be all about the morality of eating a sentient animal, the practices of the modern meat industry, and the environmental impact of it. And don’t have anything to do with the taste of meat.

Since lab-grown meat doesn’t cause animal suffering, and assuming mass production is environmentally friendly, would you consider going back to eating meat if it were the lab-grown kind?

So you think vegans should passively put up with bullshit from trolls and never poke fun back? Why?

Are you-

Um. I don’t know what’s even happening here. How do you not get what I’m saying.

Just fyi, when I’m trying to stem the flow of vegan hate I see online, I find way, way, way more success in not being an obnoxious asshole.

Or put another way: “it’s best when trying to make sure not everyone hates a good cause, to not be a total dick.” (Read: you’re being a total dick and not helping your cause.)

It’s a stupid trend, bashing and shitting all over vegans and vegetarians saying the habit is a good thing.

“I understand it’s a stupid trend that people on the internet hate vegans and anyone speaking positively about veganism/vegetarianism.”

Don’t make it harder for everyone else to get on board with this kind of shit.

“You’re making sticking up for veganism/vegans much harder by, as mentioned before, being a dick.”

Get it now?

If you have less respect for vegans because you saw a vegan once took the piss out of a carnist troll on an internet forum… you do realise that’s fucking pathetic of you right?

That’s…not what I’m saying. At all. Are you…reading what I’m writing? I literally can’t make it any clearer.

You, (as in you, the person I’m talking to) are being a dick (a douchebag, a pissant, an annoying prick). And you being a dick (douchebag, pissant, et. al) makes trying to stop others (other people on the internet; people who are not you; meat eaters) from hating all vegans (other people; not yous who also happen to subscribe to and live the vegan lifestyle).

You being a dick makes vegans look like assholes. And looking like assholes makes people hate vegans even more. Stop it.
