You know, vegans get a lot of hate for telling everyone they are vegan, yet I've never heard a vegan doing this and yelling about veganism. It's almost like racists are so much more violent and outspoken about it, including in kid's game lobbies and now with fucking vacuums. I have never seen vegans yell "VEGAN!" online repeatedly... and even if they did, that's substantially less harm anyway than racist bullshit. I never want to hear people complain about vegans talking about veganism ever again when this shit is part of everyday society and not surprising at all.
And ps I am not vegan.
TBF I know only one militant vegan and she's been outspoken about it for years. I eat meat, I either just tell her to fuck off or ask if all her cocaine is ethically sourced. She's used to it.
But yeah, all the other vegans I've known are really chill.
Again, even if a vegan is spamming the word "vegan" in public spaces (which they almost never do like people joke about), it's leagues better than racist slurs which society has just like, tolerated? In public spaces as being inevitable for several years, notably online and in games
