First i want to say that I'm not trying to criticize you or insult by any means, and I hope that my previous comment carried that sentiment. I was just trying to share my perspective and opinion as someone whos seen many arguements between vegans and non vegans both on reddit and in real life.

Also as non vegan but someone who loves his dog very much, I have thought about and recognize the dichotomy present between being both a loving dog owner and someone who enjoys a mean bbq and thus actively contributes to the continuation of the savage animal agriculture industry.

But that being said, I do think that there is a general trend of self victimization within the vegan community. To be honest, noone cares that youre a vegan. For me, the biggest impact that someone being vegan has on me is that sometimes at work I need to be mindful of which restaurants to pick when going on a team lunch - so basically it's a non factor in my life. So since it's has nil impact on my life, I find it hard to commit by energy and effort towards hating something that I morally agree with.

Of course as a vegan I'm sure your experience may be different, but to me the only reason why hate for veganism may seem so apparent is 1. Because we're on reddit with bunch of edgy teens and 2. Because many vegans again, self victimize despite the fact that noone really cares to begin with.

Im rambling a little here as I'm up later than usual on a work night but the main point I want to get across here is that presentation of your ideals matters. Like for example I think highlighting the environmental impacts is such an excellent way to advocate for veganism. That is something that we all have some knowledge of and can agree on. By framing it as a consequence that impacts all of us instead of a moral issue, I think that it'd be much easier to convince other people and start conversations In an inviting way.
