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

    If you have the ability to hate an entire demographic of people based on the actions of a few in that demographic you really need to take a moment for some self-reflection.

      the topic was “hating the concept of veganism”, not “demographic of people”. if you can’t separate people from concepts, there’s something wrong with you.

      and if you don’t think that the planet needs more bees, there is something seriously ignorant with you.

        How can you hate a concept that doesn’t even make any sense.

        It’s like saying I hate the idea of the color red.

        Also, I’m perfectly fine with bees. We need more bees.
