I'm probably going to piss off more than just vegans with saying this, but vegans are irritating and omnivores are too defensive. Am I saying ALL vegans are annoying, or that ALL omnivores are too defensive? NO. If it applies to you then it applies, if not then don't get mad and move on to my next statement. There are a lot of chill vegans who just mind their own business and live their lives. However, the annoying vegans who are hell-bent on getting sucker punched seem to be the louder of the two types. This leads to a certain stereotype about vegans which makes omnivores really defensive against vegans and see the existence of vegans as a nuisance. Thus, omnivores start making fun of vegans in hopes of the annoying vegans shutting the hell up or just to cope with the lectures. I hope anyone reading this doesn't mistake my intentions because I don't have any. I'm just experiencing insomnia and my brain won't stop clicking with all of my opinions on the topic that I have no one to tell to. That's why I've revived my dead Tumblr account for the soul purpose of saying these things. But you don't care, and here's onto my opinions of vegans. First of all, if you are a vegan who in any way, shape, or form thinks that you're superior to omnivores and don't have a problem making that everyone else's problem, then you're definitely the annoying vegan type. Nobody wants to hear your opinions on cows or chickens unless they directly ask for it. And you're not better than omnivores in literally any way just because you choose not to eat certain products. There are also a large number of you annoying-vegans who are just ignorant about the topics you're speaking about. Humans have canine teeth for a reason and small honey companies aren't torturing bees. Also, stop pretending like being vegan is anything other than a choice. Being vegan isn't like being black or gay, you were not inherently a vegan when you were born, even if your parents raised you to be one. You are not discriminated against, you are sometimes made fun of. There's a difference. Learn it, live it, love it. P.S. I know there's a lot more to veganism than just diet, but we're going to talk strictly about diet in this post.
Omnivores, we also have two categories. The kind that don't solicit vegans just to start a fight, and the kind that do. Quit going out of your way just to make fun of vegans for no reason. If you want to call out a certain toxic behavior that the annoying kind of vegans exhibit, fine. But stop thinking that you're better than vegans just because you "aren't a pansy" and "have meat on [your] bones." You're being just as obnoxious as the annoying vegans. Also, stop bringing up companies that use slave labor as a way to diminish veganism unless you plan to stop supporting those companies, too. Although, I can see how it's different. You see vegans as people who signed up to care about everything and be extra conscious about their decisions. You, however, never did any of that so it just makes them look hypocritical and you nothing more than what you're already appearing. Of course, by calling out their behavior and not adhering to it yourself that's also hypocritical in a way. I guess there's no cut and dry angle with that argument.
