Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    I agree. Although, I also agree with the anecdote by the op that anytime vegans are mentioned, everyone here seems to have to bring up how annoying and preachy some are.

    It’s not like everytime a woman is mentioned, people feel compelled to point out how some of them are Karen’s.

    It’s like when conservatives bring up how flamboyant some gays are when talking about homosexuals. It just reeks of “i’m okay with them, as long as I am not forced to think of them.”
