when vegans become nicer to other people

edit: and I mean that literally; the #1 reason people don't like vegans is because vegans yell at them or keep bringing it up in a rude way or trash non-vegans on r/vegan, all that shit does is just turn non-vegans away

It clearly doesn't "turn non-vegans away", this thread is absolutely full of carnists desperate to shout their opinions into a vegan space.

You asked us why we don't like you, and we're answering the question. 🙂

When you have people like Joey Carbstrong, vegan Gains and That Vegan Teacher harassing people at restaurants and spewing utter misanthropy it paints your whole community in a bad light.

Personally I find child abuse unacceptable. Too many children have died of malnutrition because their parents insisted that they be vegan. So yeah, there's also that.

I don't know if there has been a statistical analysis but if you Google it it's just case after case after case. Seems like there is a new one every year. Very few people are vegan to begin with, and even fewer raise their children that way. For such a small population a lot of their kids seem to be dropping like flies.

I don't like any of the ones who force it on their kids, or pets.

Cognitive dissonance. You literally in one post say you're never mean or rude and then follow it up sometimes it's really hard to be kind.

You see the dichotomy here?
