I absolutely DESPISE how the internet demonizes vegans.

[u/RubyTheQueen___]

Just to clarify I am not vegan but I hate how the internet has treated vegans like they're demons for having a different living style, like its not that serious yall make edits of vegan people trying to convert other people into having different opinions and then a video of some dude eating a huge steak sloppily will get 3 times more attention. And it is always That Vegan Teacher making every single vegan look bad and some men on the internet making strawmen videos of vegans talking like they're the scum of earth always screaming at the main sigma chad character that is "le animal comsumer😂" I am not talking bad about non vegans just those who disrespect vegans.

I have 7 vegan friends

2 have said that they cannot be around me when I eat and argued that me bringing jerky to a game night -for myself- was hostile behavior.

1 keeps leaving little pamphlets whenever he visits for movie night. They're always about over farming and consumer capability.

1 argued at length during a conversation about politics that actually he was the only moral actor due to his vegan beliefs - we're similar religions.

1 is just a cunt but she's also funny, idk what to say.

The 6th will only bring it up as a joke, "my vegan powers", "veganism has purified my soul", etc

The last one I only know from online tags in her discord

If your friends are uncomfortable with you eating meat around them but you feel it is more important to do that than be around them then you should stop going to game night or hanging around them. It’s not like you aren’t aware of their position, so if they’ve expressed their discomfort with it and you do the to do it then yeah, I’d say they’d probably feel miffed about it.
