    The fact that 5 kids knew well enough about the OP’s vegan status to use them as an example meant that the person probably never shut up about it.

      Unfortunate that you are downvoted to shit. This was my first thought as well. Kinda cements the " vegans can do no wrong" opinion about themselves.

      There’s always a person who can’t just take the joke

      Vegans bad, we get it. How dare they to live according to their moral beliefs

        Living to their beliefs is not a problem. Them trying to impose their beliefs however… I still remember a guy who described my meal as disgusting and mumbled something about murder.

          “impose their beliefs”

          It seems like you confuse it with religion. It’s not about beliefs, it’s about whether or not we find certain actions in our society to be morally wrong. Either you can justify your actions morally or you can’t. For example: “Beating women is fine”. Can it be justified morally? No. Can you prove through logic that it’s wrong? Yes, easily, by simply pointing out that trivial reasons like personal pleasure aren’t justification to bring suffering upon other individuals. If you’d, however, insist on beating women, how would you call that?

          Nice example of how not to communicate. But what has this to do with what we’re talking about?

                  Theres just one thing quite obvious in this thread:

                  You love to state your opinion, even though you spread nonsense by that. And you also like to talk shit about other people when someone presents you facts that you don’t like

                  Viva la free speech I guess

                    Not really, sweetie. What’s clear here is that vegans don’t tolerate people who enjoy eating meat and yet they don’t see how similar they are to bigots.

          It’s funny considering how eating meat and using animal products is normalized in society, that when a vegan states a differing opinion (that also happens to be a fact) it’s automatically them imposing their beliefs on people. I guess it’s a symptom of the omnivore’s cognitive dissonance activating for a moment.

            Would it be acceptable for someone calling you a murderer for eating meat, wearing leather shoes or driving petrol car?

              Maybe it’s stretching the word meaning a bit but I’d definitely be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat. The same applies if I buy new leather shoes. Driving a petrol car, otoh, the connection to animal killing is not as straightforward, but it’s harmful for the environment and hence harming wild animals as well.

              So yes, it’s not polite, but acceptable.

                be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat.

                🤦‍♂️ Not a religion imposing their beliefs at all.

                  Indeed. Can you point any inconsistencies in that sentiment, or prove it false? If not, what’s the problem here?

                    Perhaps only that you are no different to other brainwashed religious zealots who called abortion a “murder”. Go figure.

      They were literal children, and it wasn’t their choice. I’m pretty sure the “I’m better than you because I don’t eat meat” shit doesn’t start until at least junior high.
