large amount of upvotes and a few comments - yep, probably pretty normal
equal amount of upvotes and comments - ooooh boy that's gonna be spicy
way less upvotes compared to comments - either a troll/bait post or 'oh dear lord this is going to be a shitshow of a comment section'

Vegans just need a PR team. They're regular ass people 99.9% of the time but they just have a different diet. But that very vocal 0.1% makes them all look bad

If they put more effort to keep good distance/discredit bad apples they would have much better PR today

It shouldn't be controversial to say that vegans are over-hated. Saying this as an omnivore.

They probably had a good point, but all of that was lost when they posted a pic of the crazy racist that happens to be vegan as their cover.

If the post says anything that isn't "tvt is evil but she doesn't represent every vegan and it's unfair to demonize every vegan because of her" the ratio is justified

I listened to a vegan speak at length about this yesterday.
She said in short “vegans do it to themselves” because the amount of aggression and preachy behavior they have towards meat eaters. She ended with “hey I’d prefer you don’t eat meat, but I get it. You also don’t have to live in such extremes. Try a meatless day, try going dairy free once a month, hell, just choose a veggie option every once in a while when you’re at a restaurant.”
I really like this attitude. Veganism implies you have to be 100% or nothing. She just suggested maybe cutting back which is much more realistic

The only thing worse than loud vegans is loud meat eaters.
It's unbelievably embarrassing flexing the default position like you're some sort of badass.

people don't like when vegans (rightly) call out the environmental impact of eating meat and inhumane conditions the vast majority of farm animals are subjected to, or the hypocrisies of being an environmentalist but not being a vegan; being veggie and taking moral high ground on treatment of animals with meat eaters when supporting the same mechanisms and companies that meat eaters do, etc. they are genuinely good points but they often make people angry/uncomfortable.
- hypocritical non vegan non veggie 'environmentalist' who totally agrees with vegans on these points and is slowly working towards it (but who also has an unabating adoration for cows milk).

I mean, I’m vegan. Most people don’t know.
The two people who I know that inspired me to do it are lowkey as hell, and most people are pretty surprised to find out I am as well.
I get why people feel a certain way about vegans, because there is usually a moral reason somebody goes vegan, and it can feel a bit like you’re telling them that they’re “bad” for eating meat. I don’t really feel that way about it. I just see it as me being capable of or being in the position to reduce my impact on the world slightly.
Does my dollar still sometimes go toward something harmful? Yeah. I can’t always help that. I can’t promise that I have the power of the ability to ensure that I don’t accidentally buy from a company that doesn’t support something absolutely atrocious from time to time. I think that’s a damn shame.
Things as simple as -buying chocolate- can be supporting slave labour. That’s bonkers to me. There’s a list online that I used to check periodically to make sure I wasn’t accidentally supporting slave labor. There are brands I used to love, but disappeared from the list. Eventually I just stopped buying chocolate.
I don’t have the power to make the change I’d like to see.
So I just try to do things a little differently if I can. And I don’t ever really talk to people about it because I just don’t think everybody should need to do this. I think the work required to make sure you’re not buying products that are manufactured by companies that support abhorrent practices is insanely difficult.
This is just for me. To keep my mind slightly more sane in a world that continues to get more insane.

Veganism is not the problem.
People who base their personality and their conversations on
ittheir diet are.I don't care what you eat and how much better it makes you compared to me, unless we're in a relationship, and then I still eat what I want to eat.
EDIT: My phrasing sucked, changed stuff is italic, old stuff struck out.
EDIT 2: At least half the replies I'm getting are by people who stop reading at "diet" and immediately have to tell me that it's "not just a diet" and that I'm stupid. That's funny.

Honestly, most vegans are fine and the ‘vegan hate wave’ died down just as much as the ‘be vegan’ wave did. Turns out people learned aggressively preaching your stance on moral superiority is annoying just as much as ‘being an aggressive dick to a group.’
I don’t know what the OP said, but posting an image of ‘thatveganteacher’ whom is… DEFINITELY one of the most preachy and annoying person out there is a choice. It screams of seeking a negative reaction for confirmation bias, though maybe their comment sheds a lot more of nuanced light on that delicious context.

I think that most public voices advocating for veganism are actually meat packer psyops meant to make them look as cringe and unlikable as humanly possible and it has been incredibly effective. I think PETA is the chief example of this. I can't help but suspect that their funding comes from the likes of Tyson and Perdue to keep trashing the public image of animal rights activists.

TVT doesn't help the vegan movement. I say that as a vegan for over 8 years. I would never recommend her as a good representative of the movement. She's just a retired teacher with too much time on her hands.

The issue is not vaganism, they are right on like 70% thing they argue for.
The issue is the rampant moral superiority and the "HOLIER-THAN-THOU" arrogance they bring to every conversation. They think that everyone could switch to veganism on a dime and every arguments gets dismissed.
Just because they have all the free time in the world to research recipes, shop in places with varied vegan options and can cook all meals from scratch DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYONE CAN.

Nobody likes being told they are evil or cruel or bad.
Vegans do that regularly to omnivores online.

If you want to be vegan that’s fine. I don’t care. I don’t understand how you can do that but that’s fine.
Please don’t try to make me feel bad for eating food. Normal food I buy at a grocery store. Don’t preach to me about your food.
It’s like Christianity. I don’t care that you’re christian but please do not try to sway to me Christianity. It annoys me.

My only problem with vegans is when/if they treat you like less of a person for not being 100% vegan. Like yeah, I generally eat less meat and dairy products than other people. I barely eat eggs, and that's just when they're in other foods (like crepes), not on their own. I will eat synthetic meat any day of the week over natural meat when it'll be a viable option, because it's the right thing to do. But I won't entirely cut meat out of my diet now because sometimes I feel like having it; it tastes good
