[@aravisthetarkheena]

Forreal, I absolutely NEVER tell anyone I am vegan. But somehow, people ALWAYS just look at my plate and are like, "ew, what's wrong with you? Why is there no meat? Are you some weirdo vegan or something." Yes. I'm a weirdo who doesn't think animals should suffer needlessly and be locked in cages unnecessarily. Thanks for bringing it up at lunch 🤦‍♀️

Let them know that you are vegan, tell it proudly so the good ones will get the message and be vegan as well. Haters will hate anyway, they can't improve.

I worked the drilling rigs as a Vegan. Tried doing everything I could to hide that I was. Eventually we would get sent to camp and the cat would be let out of the bag. Their behaviour would flip the moment they found out. They’d go from promising me the next promotion to finding another place for me to work. Eventually, I had to take my experience elsewhere.

Bring up a meat alternative, and everyone loses their minds. Bring up a sugar substitute, and “I’m on a diet, it’s okay” Make it make sense

[@veganaktivisten]

That's because one entails ethics, in which they are basically saying "YOU are doing wrong if you eat this or that".

[@Mondomeyer]

@veganaktivisten Empathy is an extremely popular word. A word we are all encouraged to treat with great reverence and overuse at every opportunity (the way neurotypicals tend to use it makes me think they get a check everytime it passes their lips). But in addition to being a word one is highly encouraged to use, it is not an encouraged practice; quite the opposite. Showing empathy is a bad thing. It marks one as a degenerate weirdo worthy only of scorn. So by all means, use the word empathy. Use as often as possible. A hundred times per sentence if you can, but never NEVER under any circumstances must you give it meaning.

My personal opinion is that for many of them, when they see that these products exist, they don’t really have much of an excuse other than they just don’t want to make the change. And for those that may feel guilty, because they know that deep down it doesn’t align with their values, they lash out because that is easier and more comfortable than to be honest with themselves about how their actions don’t align with their values. Others are just ignorant and stubborn and stuck in their ways.

Totally agree with @BrayMcKenziePro's comment - cognitive dissonance. Makes me feel very empowered for all of us who have decided to make decisions in our lives that align with our personal ethical values. It's not always an easy thing for some of us, myself included, to build willpower when we first decide to transition to a vegan lifestyle but if we're fortunate enough to be in the position to choose between living a vegan lifestyle or not, I'm happy that I made the choice that supports what I personally feel is right.

[@maryann4451]

I'm not a vegan, but I eat a mostly vegan diet (I sometimes eat seafood and eggs). But even though I'm not totally vegan, people still act weird and defensive about my diet. Even though I never expect anyone to cater to me, never tell anyone they should change their lifestyle, nothing. I honestly think it's because people are pre-defensive because they feel like they are going to be judged, and I think deep down, many people know they should be eating healthier, making more environmentally conscious decisions, and not supporting unethical factory farming. So really their reaction is ALL about them and their insecurities, and nothing to do with us. But it is still so, so annoying.

When people ask Doug Graham's wife why she's vegan/plant based she says "because I want to". Cause she knows nonvegans might be hostile to veganism or she doesn't want to get into arguments.

Yet, they can’t understand why I wouldn’t want to eat at a steak house or BBQ restaurant. I called ahead to the one they picked this year and they had nothing vegan friendly and only two options that were vegetarian friendly. I would have had to tell them to “hold the meat,” on the salad. They told me they could have used olive oil instead of butter on the potato skins, if I gave them three days notice. I skipped the party as usual. That’s fine, I don’t miss the lunches. It’s just having to explain why I don’t go that is annoying.

I love your rant. I grew up with this kind of behavior and it was even before facebook and other social media existed. My sister and I stopped eating animal products and the next couple of years, we had to spend Christmas by ourselves. We were not even welcome in our own family. The social isolation is a real problem. Even today, as a grown up, I get treated badly for being Vegan. I was at a 40 year birthday party. It was my bf´s cousin turning 40. I only knew 3 people out of the 80-90 people, who were there. I brought my own food, because that is much easier and I knew, I would get something to eat. I ended up being the center of attention because of my “weird” food. My bf´s uncle kept attacking me for not eating meat and telling me how much he loved meat. It gets really really exhausting

[@jessicapearson9479]

[@mythic_snake]

I remember hearing about a study that showed that people who act like this about veganism actually have a lot of empathy, which seems wildly counterintuitive. But it's the fact that they actually DO know (despite acting like they don't understand) the consequences of eating meat and it DOES secretly bother them to think about animal suffering. But they can't handle the guilt so they lash out and shut themselves off from their own empathy to protect their fragile grasp of self-identity, which often revolves around traditional food and food culture. And when they accuse vegans of "acting like they're better than everybody else" it's because they KNOW there is a morally correct answer and they are actively not choosing that answer, which makes them feel bad about themselves, and then they lash out some more. Vegans are voicing aloud what their conscience is whispering, and that makes them feel like a "bad person". The irony is that those bad feelings aren't coming from the vegan's mouth, but inside the anti-vegan's own mind.

You nailed it!!! I'm about as far away from the "vegan stereotype" as it gets. I've been vegan almost 4 yrs now. For me it's just about the animals. It wasn't a gradual change, within about 3 months of going vegetarian, I went vegan immediately after passing through a dairy farm town on a work trip. It was almost over night for me because I've become so sensitive to animal suffering "caused by people". I actually couldn't watch your whole video because of some footage, but thank you for speaking up. I've since become so tuned out of the world because it's almost ALL negativity. People suck. We are incredibly selfish and I hate it. Including myself accountable just as much as anyone else. I lost someone who I thought was a best friend because of it. And it was HIM bringing it up when he'd see me eat something plant based etc. Saying stuff like, " well I'd take a baseball bat to some baby seals if I had to eat in Antarctica". Like WTF does that even have to do with your life, or mine. Why say some crazy scenario for no reason? That night I told him to stay tf away from me.

when I was in my 20s, I decided that I could not let others define who I was. I defined who I was, who I wanted to be - and set goals to achieve that. it has worked pretty well for me - including being a vegan. I do not announce it, but I don't keep it a secret either. I remember having a group meeting to vote where we were going for lunch. Almost everyone voted for a barbeque place with NO vegan options. I raised my hand, and said "I'm a vegan, and I know another person who is a vegetarian. We are members of this team, and I think we should have a say - at least pick a place where we have some choices." I was prepared to just not go if I was voted down. but I was surprised - everyone agreed.. it was like no one had ever thought about it before. so, they chose a place with the usual meat/dairy centered options, but with some good choices for the non-meat eaters.

Who is hypocritical exactly?

[@___3988]

​@@steviacandyman7892it's hypocritical to claim that vegans push their diets on others when meatitarians are actually the most aggressive and pushy about how wrong it is to avoid meat. Meatitarians are the pushy ones who can't let others enjoy a plant-based meal without getting upset about it. Almost every company associated with the meat industry is represented by a powerful lobby, from the farmers to the butchers to the packaging companies.

Young lady, your courage is inspiring. Thanks for speaking up. One of my brothers had a heart attack and heart surgery in 2020. While I helped nurse him back to better health, we stumbled on how a plant based diet can improve heart health. We both went plant based cold turkey and before a year passed he went back to work. Other habits changed with adding daily exercise. We heard about animal cruelty and global effects of animal agriculture afterward. I am still eating plant based and feel healthier in my early 60s. My memory is better, recovery from physical exercise is quicker, people constantly think that I'm years younger than my age. BTW you're right, going out to eat can be frustrating at regular restaurants with friends and family. I tend to be quiet about my plant based(ness), although, more and more, my friends and family are being considerate and care that I might be able to eat something on the menu. I appreciate you.❤

My brother needs to change his diet because of his health as well, and just doesn´t do it. He´s too lazy even though his reluctance could ruin his life(expectancy). Did you have to motivate your brother, or did he realise the need to change something himself? I even provided vegan recipes, but since I live in a different country, there´s nothing much I can do, and I already feel annoying just pushing him as the younger sister.

[@NAB1960]

When I went to his home to care for my brother, he had just come out of the hospital. He was hit with the reality of being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure before the quadruple bypass surgery. His state of mind during that time led him to depend on my ability to administer his meds and have him record his BP, glucose levels and insulin shots, as well as food diary notes. He was depressed that he did not take better care of his health. Point blank, he wanted to live and not die from something he could control. Everyone has the ability to choose what passes through their lips and hopefully, they make healthy choices.

I think they feel attacked, because we literally are attacking their habits, their choice, their lifestyle. It's understandable in that sense, but I have a really hard time grasping how they once they've seen what the animals go through, still can escape their own sense of right and wrong. Because most people don't think it's okay, they just don't have the support/strength to change.

The issue with that is, that "veganism" doesn´t exist as a term in all languages/cultures, and in many of them there´s no equivalent to "plant based" either. In my native language there´s only "vegetarian" and "vegan", but no "plant based". People don´t choose labels based on reasons for avoiding animal products. It´s a cultural difference.
