Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

[DotCommunist]

As for annoying vegetarians/vegans, for sure they exist. PETA is a thing, and they must be getting the funding for their cringe-worthy publicity stunts from somewhere.

But that's not what turns me off veganism. What turns me off veganism is the total lack of animal products. No meat is bad enough, but no dairy either? No leather too? No thanks.

my eating problems mean I just can't get enough in me without meat and dairy. Ethically I'd like to go veggie, or at least just fish. But I'd waste away worse than I am now.

Ooh! Right, kalidarkone, I am a horribly angry vegan. Very angry, lots of angry.

So, would you come along and post bacon and eggs through my letterbox, please? (Because I might like having breakfast delivered to me and might find that I am not vegan at all, but just a greedy lying chancer.)

Celyn, only if you gave me a hard time about the fact I'm not vegan or tried to convince me to do so. I would feel the same way about anyone trying to convince me of anything I was not ready to be convinced about.

Pm me your address

Anyway, vegans have songs.

It's not the vegan of Liverpool that grieves me ...

Vegan on a jet plane ...

With the high fibre diet that's never an issue

Angry vegan meets angry waiter...

Do you have a vegan option?

Yes, you can fuck off.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Great troll OP, thread's doing well

I'm not afraid of angry vegans because of the enduring stereotype which I fully believe about their weakness due to a lack of meat in their diet.

 

[mrs quoad]

i've never met one of these mythical evangelist vegans.

Eveganlistics!

(Id wager I didn't get there first).

OK, I'll get it out in the open. I'm vegan, pleased to meet you.

I'm vegan because I believe we should treat animals much better in this world, and the environment, and our own health.

There's an argument between vegans that seems to be gathering pace. Some vegans claim that you can be vegan and eat honey, drink beer with fish bladder in it... Other vegans think that you have to be 100% vegan or get to f***. Those in the latter group tend to be quite militant/vegans.

My question to the good people of Urban75 is this. Do angry vegans make you want to shout bacon in their face? Do angry vegans make you think say oh f*** off would you? Are you more receptive to a non judgemental, the right side of sanity vegan? Or do you still want to shout bacon in their face?

I'd be grateful of responses.

Really pitifully crap trolling is what gets my goat.

There's a tip for OzT

* sorry OzT, but since you posted that comment last week, posts keep coming up that fit in with my sense of humour, and I can't resit the opportunity. (((you)))

When animals evolve enough to potentially order a beer then I'll stop killing and eating them.

This is the superiority argument. I think it's flawed. Firstly, if it's just a superiority thing then why do people only eat certain animals? Also why stop there? There's loads of humans that don't have the capability to order a beer but you would not kill and eat them would you?

 

[Watermelon Man]

No it just puts me off that particular vegan, like the one who insisted the vegan chocolate cake I had made for the vegan and vegetarian coffeeshop I worked in was not vegan because it had chocolate in it despite being told that it had no dairy in the cocoa powder.

Reasonable response. Chocolate can be a bit sketchy. Some companies say 100% vegan others are a bit more vague... "we think it is".

This should be in a Tarantino film... I watched that thinking where the f**k is the exit door. Run fast.

 

[billy_bob]

I'm a non-evangelical vegetarian myself. But I haven't met half as many angry, aggressively vegan people as I've met (or at least read on t'web) frail-hearted meateaters who are apparently scared off veganism by these near-mythical militant yoghurt-knitters.

I think you misjudge some people on here.

I followed a link here that described it as the 'naughty corner of the internet', populated by 'baby eating anarchists', hence my comment.

Is there such a thing as a straw sock puppet?

facebook mostly.

Totally, got added to a group, lasted less than a week.

The number of people saying they know no militant vegans leaves me wondering if our social circle is, perhaps, an artefact of the trendy hipster fringes of academia, baby yoga, NCT, Steiner toddler mornings, organic bakeries, and the militant fringe of assorted breastfeeding tubthumper collectives in which we commingle.

Are there really none in Kettering, DotCommunist ?

there must be one or two surely, but not n my orbit.

Indeed, one of our closest associates is on intimate terms with the founder of Veganuary thesselves.
