Meeting YouTube's Most Psychotic Vegan

[@donoteatfigs]

Tom is giving off the biggest annoying little cousin vibes in this video and it’s lovely.

[@ninjaslayer9248]

Best part was Richard having to pretend he didn’t just hear what Tom was saying or straight up processing what he would do to him if no laws held him back😂 actual one of the best crossovers I didn’t knew I needed to see👏

Yeah for once the Vegan is less annoying than the meat eater, Tom making us look bad.

[@amandaloveless4369]

Vegan Gains has anti social personality disorder … which says a lot. I’ve known who he is for years and l always genuinely believed he had to be a sociopath. I saw a livestream of him not that long ago where he mentioned he has been actually diagnosed.

[@tinyxtato-go8on]

OK this is what i came to the comments for. Like duh his videos are an act. but this man is calm. like CALM CALM. Like making my BPD act up CALM. So I was curious if he'd been heavily medicated, but this also makes sense. That actually kinda makes me more respectful towards him. Because considering risks. he's a pretty okay dude.

[@anglosaxiphone8246]

Looking at this vegan gains seems like that friend who tired out from his old bs and mellowed tremendously. Dude is just very blunt and honest without a care. I don't agree with most of his takes but I do appreciate his honesty.

He's way different than I remember. Also, him saying he'd vote right wing is interesting. He's not wrong. This administration is so bad, it looks straight up like deliberate sabotage, and for him to be able to see that through all the media propaganda shows he's smarter than the average person (admittedly not a difficult feat).

[@andrelarocque5967]

The iphone thing: Veganism is defined as reducing exploitation and suffering as much as practicable. That usually applies to other things too. It just means that when you know better you should probably do better if you can.

[@caseh4235]

One response I would go to is that in an ideal world, I (as a vegan) would wish iPhones would be made without human exploitation, but in an ideal world for a meat eater, they would still want animals slaughtered for their consumption.

[@salvucci91]

Actually loved this. The fact that you treated him with respect is a major component to this being so enjoyable. There were a few moments though where I think he could tell you were being cheeky and I wasn't sure if he was gonna start getting wicked defensive lmao

5:00 Also for the vast majority of people you NEED a computer or at least a smartphone to be able to work in the modern world. It's become more of a need. Yes I guess I could just be homeless and I'm sure many non-vegans would love it for vegans to become voluntarily homeless but that's just not practicable. The goal is for veganism to be the norm. Not every problem can be fixed right away sadly. I wish slave labor was never used for anything. We all just have to try our best. The best the average person can do realistically is to live vegan. The more people go vegan the more progress is able to be made for everyone.

[@BigIndianBindi-jy1cz]

In response to people calling Richard "Psychotic" ... he's not psychotic. psychotic entails lack of empathy and fear. a psychopath wouldn't get a racing heart from being in danger. richard is not psychotic. he just hates people violating the rights of animals because animals feel fear and try to avoid pain and seek pleasure. Richard gets mad that people won't recognize that in animals and leave the animals alone. Has nothing to do with "psychotic" The reason you view it as "Psychotic" is because you don't want anyone threatening your coping mechanisms. You use animal products as a coping mechanism. You also associate animal products with masculinity. Taking that away threatens your sense of self. Calling him "Psychotic" is a coping mechanism.

Try addressing the core arguments rather than critiquing his character.

[@OlocDefiance]

Although it’s cool to see this content of you and vegan gains just hanging out, the whole tone of your guys interactions was a bit awkward. He clearly seemed to be just tolerating you for the majority of the video and appeared visibly annoyed when you tried cracking jokes. You’re good at interviewing formally in a professional setting but when it comes to casual convo, I don’t think you pick up social cues very well. Not sure if it’s because you’re younger or a KZbinr trying make the content Sam Hydeesque for entertainment but there were moments where vegan gains looked to be holding back telling you to shut the fuck up lol. Vegan Gains is also a bit awkward as well but was trying to come out his shell and seemed to appreciate your more objective approach to asking questions about his life. Overall, doesn’t seem like you guys are on the same wavelength but was interesting see how you both interact out of the context of KZbin.
