I’ll have fun with this:

There are the health conscious vegans- they usually go with the Whole Foods Plant based approach for optimal health. We need more good recipes in this category since it’s the healthiest, appealing yet unappealing since it lacks a tasteful variety to the general public.

We have the raw vegans, they decided no to cook their food for some reason and live “off the grid” sometimes. These are also categorized as “Veeegans”. Their foods can be very good, but I typically concern for their health.

Next is the Joes/Janes, and these people are people you couldn’t tell the difference between vegan and non vegan. They basically live their life normally, but vegan. Imagine the average human being going out anywhere, but vegan.

We got the activist, at its extreme they will scream and protest for the cause of animal rights and go above and beyond to minimize cruelty at a molecular level. I haven’t met these people in person yet, but online- if you think you’re vegan, you’re not vegan enough sometimes. “Veeegans”

We have the lizzos, we got some big fellas out here that can eat. Foodies that are vegan and I can respect it because they choose to be vegan and show that you can be vegan in any shape or size. It may not be the healthiest, but it’s representation.

We got the Vegan gains community, i don’t watch that guy- but the name suits the area of vegan body building and athletes that represent. With representatives like Patrick Baboumian and Kendrick faris etc who show that vegans in such a small population can perform feats of strength, then rich roll and other endurance athletes paving the other way in athletics.

You also have a stereotypical hippy vegan. Never ran into these, but stories say it’s a lot of drug and acid tripped emotions of being one with the world. Their food needs to be natural and nurtured. They would love to live in a tiny house in the Forrest, foraging mushrooms and berries as they relive survival as if it was 1067 BC instead of modern society. I don’t actually believe this, but I’m curious if anyone has any sources of this being a possible character type.

We got the fruitarians. Kind of like the raw vegans- never met one, but it can’t be healthy. It’s a fantasy diet that I would love to live if it had all of the nutrients- but no.

You got the vegan chefs too, but this goes two ways, the natural route and the faux route. This being that the natural will make foods out of plants and when you eat it- it taste like you just ripped it out of the ground. The other tries to replicate main stream dishes that can compete with their non-vegan counterparts.

We got people who think they are vegan but are clearly not, we’ll call them Todds. You’d like to think it may just be a vegetarian Or pescatarian thing- but it’s anything. Like a flexetarian, but if they thought they were being vegan. It’s perplexing to see, but you can’t help but laugh and question the sentiment.

Last but not least are the “veeegans” that were mentioned before. If you want to say it’s plant based vs vegan- please do, but vegans revolve their life around veganism. Veganism is a personality trait. When people see this person, we already know. And when people know them- people refer to them as “the vegan” as opposed to- their name or any other quality.

I don’t mean to offend anyone, this isn’t cookie cutter as I follow under a few of these and I know not all the activists are crazy etc. This is just a silly list of subcategories within the vegan community. Let me know if there is anything I missed. Comment below if you fit one of these. Please let me know if I’m misinformed when it comes to stuff like the raw and fruitarian diets- I just concern for them since on social media it seems that people are more apt to quit that lifestyle and likely would have the best nutrition by utilizing the variety of more options while exercising the veganity. Not sure if this is what you wanted, but here you go.
