If you love animals as much as you claim you do, stop eating all of their food.

Vegans and non-vegans alike may have noticed a sharp increase in widespread anti-vegan sentiment online lately, including two new popular videos going around that, shall we say, poke fun at vegans. Vegans are intolerable hippies who make impossible, confusing, and downright absurd requests at restaurants and of their friends while wearing funny headbands. They tell you in a vapid, breathy voice that they’re vegan before they even tell you their name. They are overall just

"the most annoying group of people known to mankind" and "think they’re better at life."

Oh, and if they choke or are stranded at sea, kill them/let them die.

In the world of "Bacon Fun," the only thing more fun than killing a pig is killing people who don't eat them!

Just as a few lil' examples. One look at the comments sections of these videos shows that those being ridiculed have defended themselves, corrected misinformation, and some even reacted aggressively or used defamatory language – so it's then pointed out that all vegans are, in fact, mean and angry. But wait – in the videos vegans were portrayed as illogical and daft, but at least they were peace-loving hippies. Now in the comments section they are all called a bunch of aggressive a-holes. Which is it? In truth, it doesn’t really matter which they are, the point is that there has to be something majorly wrong with vegans, and it must be funny to make fun of them... right? These are, after all, the minority of people who voluntarily don’t eat the meat, milk, and eggs of animals, wear their skin, or otherwise use them like normal people do. Weird. Yeah, vegans are annoying. And they should get a sense of humor. Here's the thing.

Veganism has absolutely exploded into the mainstream this year, which anyone not living under a rock has likely noticed. Therefore, the inevitable cognitive dissonance-induced vegan backlash that has always been brewing under the surface is now apparently occurring in full force. And since vegans are very much in the minority, it's like David and Goliath. It seems all you need to get more traction for your content is to find the anti-vegan angle in there – somewhere, anywhere.

I don’t normally make videos calling people out or critiquing them, but this one was addressed to the vegans of the world.
