    I’ve met way more people who made hating vegans their whole personality than I have vegans who mention their lifestyle outside of the context of being offered something non-vegan.

    And how many have we seen make bacon their whole personality? Or Ron Swanson wannabees who think eating a steak is gender affirming care. No, this is a ridiculous argument. Every group of people is going to have self-righteous idiots.

      I have met way more people who were annoying vegans, and I’ve never met anyone whose personality was “vegan hater” or “bacon”.

      Subjective experiences are crazy!

        Subjective experiences are crazy! They’re also subject to interpretation as filtered through lived experience. How many non-self righteous vegans have you met that you didn’t even clock as vegan because they didn’t mention it. You’ll never know!
        And also I don’t believe you on the second point because most of us came here from reddit where ‘le narwhal bacons at midnight.’ “vegan hating” and “bacon” were the entire personality of r/all for nearly a decade.

      I’m not sure what your point is. You just listed off examples of my statement as though it changes the fact that it’s the self righteous vegans who are getting the hate.
