[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

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...

Bonehead,

Those aren't the vegans that most people are talking about. Being poor and having to eat vegan is different from being vegan because you want to stand out from everyone else with your vegan black bean soy burger with vegan cheese on a vegan sprouted whole wheat bun. If you can afford the overpriced "vegan" versions of typically non-vegan foods, and complain about your struggles being vegan, that's privilege.

When you're poor, you don't advertise the fact that you're eating vegan. You just make rice and beans because it's the absolute cheapest food available. You'll take meat and non-vegan when it's available. But at the very least, you'll survive on rice and beans. It's generally not something that people are proud of.

Bonehead,

I didn't say that. I said if you're buying the vegan substitutes and advertising that fact, that makes you privileged. I've seen it many times. There are even some in this post. People that eat vegan because they have limited choices don't advertise it. People that want to feel superior over others will express how much of a vegan they are.

Bonehead,

Yeah that's cool and all. But now build that into the front of this, and I'll really be impressed.

Bonehead,

We're not the ones resorting to this ableist bullshit, they are. They are the ones wearing diapers and making a mockery out of it. We criticize them for making a mockery out of it simply to emulated someone that makes a mockery out of everything. Do we need to remind everyone of Trump mocking a disabled person on live TV?

Yes, I agree, fuck that noise. But we're not the ones making that noise.

Bonehead,

I've seen the comments, and yes some are low effort ridicule about wearing a diaper. But the majority are ridiculing these people for making a mockery out of wearing a diaper. That's the difference. There are going to be elements in every group that punch down, but the Trump fans are made up entirely of that element. That's why they are making a mockery of wearing a diaper in the first place.

Instead of getting defensive, try taking a step back and look at what people are actually doing rather than focusing on the few bad examples and lecturing all of us about being ableist.

Bonehead,

Bullshit. They cry bankrupt every time contract negotiations come up. They just wasted millions on those fucking useless C250 trucks that are so poorly designed that they can't hold large boxes. They aren't broke, there is no financial crisis, they just don't want to pay the people actually doing the work.

Bonehead,

You're not "subsidizing post". Canada Post is a completely separate entity that generates it's own revenue. They don't receive any money from the government.

Bonehead,

Lass...calicos are only female.

Bonehead,

Calicos can be XXY, which may present male genitals but is intersexed and both male and female. The genes for color are coded on the X chromosome. That's why only females are calico.

Bonehead,
Bonehead,

All calicos have 2 X chromosomes. That means they are either female, or in rare cases intersexed XXY with male genitals. There are no strictly male calicos. It's literally and biologically impossible.

Bonehead,

Every article you've posted and every article you will post says the same thing.

For a male cat to have a calico pattern, the feline has to have three sex chromosomes: two Xs and a Y. This phenomenon can happen in both humans and animals and is, in either case, known as Klinefelter syndrome.

Again, they may present with male genitals, but genetically they are both male and female. There are no male calico cats. It's literally impossible.

Bonehead,

Call them whatever you want. Genetically they are male and female. This is simple biology, which is apparently much more complex than you seem to understand.

Bonehead,

You are now annoying me. Have a nice day.

Bonehead,

This is so wrong. You don't stuff the cloth into the bottle, you cap the bottle and tie the cloth around the neck. Then you soak the cloth in gas when you're ready to light it. Much safer with no risk of spilling.

Bonehead,

The same thing I'd want if I were a cat. Nip.

Bonehead,

Always remember...layoffs come in 2 waves. The first wave is involuntary. The second wave is voluntary, as the people with talent see the handwriting on the wall and jump ship.

Bonehead,

But he's also a pig. This is super cereal...

Bonehead,

Give them some credit. They've finally changed the user name generator to random words instead of Adjective_Noun_####.

Bonehead,

Now this is the proper use of generative AI.

Bonehead,

I would hope the roadside stand in front of the apiary has real honey and not corn syrup. But you never know...

Bonehead,

Neelix and Kes should have been a father figure/orphaned little sister relationship. Neelix lost his sister in the metreon cascade. Kes lost her father not long before running away to the surface. Both should have played into those roles instead of the weird creepy relationship they went with. They wouldn't have needed to be shot out of a torpedo tube without Neelix's incessant jealously over every little thing.

Bonehead,

Don't worry, this law doesn't affect luggage.

Bonehead,

I could do that...but then I lose easy access to the assistant. I could set up the tap on back function, but that doesn't work when it's in a holder in the car. There are no options that I can find that would let me assign the assistant to open on power + vol up. Unfortunately these phones aren't as customizable as as I'd like them to be. Or at least not by default, but I don't want to go through the trouble of flashing a new OS yet.
