Forreal, longtime vegan here… Vegans (online mostly) annoy me more than most people. I swear we aren’t all jerks! I’m probably a major sell out, I don’t even have a problem with hunters.
Honestly as a linux nerd sometimes I feel like us open source folks have a similar problem
You do a bunch of work and make sacrifices to accomplish living in a way you feel proud of! Wonderful! And then you turn around and antagonize people who don’t invest all their time and energy in the issue that you personally really connect with…! Oh… Wonderful… 🙃
A lot of us are murderers in that way. Or accomplices, whatever. The thing about vegans specifically is that there’s not any moral need for it. The goodness to animals would make you vegetarian. Not having cheese or eggs is not the slightest bit morally better.
your deeply biased YouTube video is notoriously traumatizing, with the production house that made it providing aftercare tips. viewers report sleeplessness, nightmares, vomiting, lack of appetite and depression.
I feel like I’m being trolled right now. It’s a documentary which is expressly about the extensive, systemic animal abuse that happens in the industry, and the first instance of that is over 5 minutes in. Did you not expect gore? Is this not like the most fundamentally obvious thing you could possibly expect from such a documentary?
Edit: oh, comment history tells me that I am being trolled. Interesting. Have a nice day.
their vitriol is…weird. if they just said “i prefer…” not many would be bothered.
“you’re a murderer.” does tend to ruffle feathers.

As someone who’s been working tech for two decades, the more assbaggy the linux user the less they actually know.
i believe you, it’s something to do with being online.
Almost like ruffling feathers is the point when you truly believe most people are being murderers. You don’t change society by being polite.
Activism isn’t about being polite as much as effecting change, which vegans are doing the opposite of through much of their online presence.
Lots of activists change society by passing legislation, organizing political action and peaceful protests.
Irritating other people with half-baked personal invective won’t get you anywhere productive.
You don’t change society by making yourself look like a dick and making everyone just want to ignore you either

Eh kinda. The working conditions of cows and chickens is pretty horrible. I could see not wanting to be involved in that.
But personally, I’m going to worry about improving the working conditions of humans first.
I mean, you can do both. They’re not mutually exclusive.
Look, if I have to work 8-5 with an automatic milker attached to my junk, so do the cows.
You really just have no idea what you’re talking about, huh?
Watch the documentary above and tell me that dairy and eggs have “not the slightest bit” of ethical concern for animal products other than meat.
that YouTube video sucks and you should post a trigger warning when you link gore
But aren’t you the one advocating that this is okay? Why do I need a trigger warning for something so deeply and obviously ethical?

you are acting irresponsibly
I don’t have a problem with openheart surgery, but I don’t link videos of it without a tag

I know all about your YouTube video, but unsuspecting people could be triggered, and it is your responsibility to warn others when you endanger them.
They’re just filming what you paid for. You should’ve warned the camera crew of the documentary before endangering them.
calling me names doesn’t relieve you of responsibility, nor make anything I’ve said untrue
