      On my instance a guy opened a community where he posted cooking recipes he liked. There was a vegan that complained that they contained meat. The vegan got a lot of deserved flak for that. Even from other vegans.

          No the problem is that it’s enough if there is one asshat around giving everyone a bad name. Instead of contributing complaints was the only thing added.

          You’re not going to convince convert anyone by attacking them. And now several people had a bad experience and may make these jokes, because for them it’s not a joke, but it is real. Show the alternative that it’s good and easy. Everything else is already a lost battle.

              Like Republicans, not every single last one, but yeah, the vast majority.

      Every platform needs a terrible meme that never goes away. Reddit picked a shoebox full of semen, we picked cat starvation.

      You guys are so insanely self obsessed you believe this too. 🤣 I literally never even see veganism bring brought up outside of these increasingly frequent crying posts.
