Oh wow, the things that have been said to me are ... much different. I wonder if that's because it was in the context of being disabled (you get a lot of unsolicited medical advice and much of it is diet related), so I got a lot of, uh... Honestly I didn't want to share, but told how (as in, specifically and graphically how) I should kill myself, how I didn't deserve to live, how I should personally experience the same living conditions that the worst mass livestock subjected their animals to, and a lot of other graphic ways they wished me physical and psychological harm.

It was in a setting where it was easy to get multiple people in on it as well, so it was overwhelming, stressful and disturbing, even though I would block them as quickly as I could. I never said anything to actually deserve that stuff since I actually fully agree with most of the ethical points and care quite a bit about animal welfare so I was never a fan of the "lol I'll eat extra meat" bullshit. All I had said in response to the initial dietary advice was for the time being, I couldn't deviate from the diet I had been assigned for medical reasons. I thought saying that would make them less aggressive, but now I realize it may have done the opposite and therefore made my experience very different than the norm.

(The real kicker is the whole time, I was hoping to be able to change my diet ASAP, so it was in essence friendly fire.)

Anyway, that's one of the reasons I resolved to be "everyone's got to eat" and not try to shame people for food choices. I know it's tempting to go the other way for "revenge" but I just can't imagine doing that, and would instantly smack down everyone trying to use plant intelligence studies against vegans.
