every day i am exposed to the worst anti-vegan talking points against my will

[vegantinatalist]

ACTUALLY genuinely unfair

[myalgias]

i cannot take seriously any person's argument when they derisively call vegans "ARAs" like oh no. the horrible and scary animal rights activists! it's so unserious lol

Vegan in a world of non-vegans.

The mental gymnastics that people will go through to read posts about veganism just to misunderstood them on purpose no matter how clear the original post was genuinely astonishes me.

And they always respond with one of four arguments:

Something every vegan on the internet has heard a hundred times and can easily debunk (plants feel pain, no B12, something about soy)

An "edgy" comment about how eating meat is cool

Something not at all based in reality (bonus points if it's about how nicely animals are treated in animal agriculture, claims plant agriculture kills more animals, or contains the word "colonialism")

An argument about accessibility that ignores the "doing what's possible and practical" part of the definition of veganism no matter how clearly this was specified

Like please, if you're not interested in veganism then scroll and block to your heart's content, but the "gotcha" comment you want to type is probably not as clever as you think it is.

Non-vegans are tiring.

"But this [false information] is actually the reason kids are malnourished when vegan."

"But this [false equivalence] is why I don't go vegan."

If you don't wanna go vegan, just say it. I will judge you, but at least you're true to yourself. We vegans already know your bullshit.

Regarding your recent hate mail. I think that many carnists on this website are so caught up in the strawman “vegan” that Tumblr has created that they assume that anyone who even dares post positively about veganism on this website is a rich, able-bodied, racist Euro/American who consistently buys slave quinoa, agave, and pleather - but only if you can find a way to purchase them from halfway across the world.

I know that they aren’t getting to you, but I always find it funny anyways to know that these people have never met a vegan in real life (to their knowledge). I hate to use the phrase “chronically online” but I’d imagine that stereotyping an entire group of political activists based solely on online misinformation fits these folk quite accurately.

I guess everyone on tumblr is going to go on an anti-Apple crusade now, for using better for the environment, synthetic recycled material instead of leather or is it just when vegans do it that it's bad?

So this Heat Friday I tried the lil' nitro challenge. While it was the spiciest I've had in a while it wasn't that bad, just a burning sensation and some tears.
