I don't understand vegans

[Dawido]

They hate meat but at the same time they eat things that taste like meat but aren't meat

tbh i cant understand the criticism towards vegans for their choice of not having meat

I personally voice against bad choices and wrong practices, since I like truth, common sense, good logic and also to help people continue that chain.

For example if I see someone punching a wall, even tho it's a personal choice, I'll tell em to stop doing that. Same goes for whatever I see wrong.

But these days almost anything is accepted.

But there is a case where the Vegan isn't a Vegan because of all the Zen stuff and for being an activist, or simply as a choice, but they are allergic to diary and meat, or feel very bad when eating those, and that's the only case when I wouldn't argue with them.

And are these vegans here in the room with us right now?

Seriously, though. Every time I see people complain so much about vegans and how all of them are smug, self-superior a-holes, I'm just like "Huh?" I don't think I've ever actually met many vegans IRL if any at all. As for online...well, vegans aren't the only ones doing that. I just discount anyone who acts crazy on Twitt- I mean X. I don't even think of them as real people with real opinions because most of the time, they actually aren't. Just trolls or bots or w/e else.

Ironically I personally see more people get super smug about how vegans are so annoying and cringey than I see actual vegans being annoying and cringey. In fact, I'm seeing it right now in this thread. It's almost the same degree of self-superiority because vegans are an easy, low hanging fruit to make fun of especially since they're still in the minority in the world as far as I can tell.

I asked a question

i also love truth common sense and logic.
but how is it a "bad" choice if they're just fine and dandy with it themselves?
e.g. no health problems? no deficiency on anything.
you can go vegan with just what is planted to your backyard i think.
or what you can buy from your local super market not in terms of highly specific special vegan items but simple stuff like vegetables and legumes and fruits.
and not everything is accepted. i will never accept pedos for instance. i accept vegans though 100% its cool.

I've tried some of those things that are labelled "tastes like meat". No, it doesn't, it absolutely does not.

Pedos and vegans in the same thread. I never thought I'd see the day.

You don't try to understand, especially since there is nothing either sensible or legible in there. Instead:

1 You constantly keep encouraging them and supporting them, to the best of your ability, so as they never budge in the slightest or even think to abandon their path.
2 You never argue with them on anything, no matter how deranged that might be.
3 You never, ever, become vegan yourself.

We have to take care of overpopulation with peaceful methods and help Natural Selection, do her job.

yeee ik ik one of the biggest arguments is the deficiency in carnitine which is absorbed mostly by your heart and bones with a remainder going to your liver and kidneys. carnitine is vital for energy production.
but asparagus offers a great solution to carnitine deficiency. vegetarians have it a bit easier cause they can also consume cheddar cheese for it and lots of milk.

lol me neither but since we talk about stuff being accepted eh thought ill do that stretch
e.g. one is never accepted no matter.

Well, is a complicated issue...

But hey, as long as you are not hurting anyone or forcing anyone to be a vegan, up to you 🤷

[Mauserich]

I don't understand people who post a thread the day before in which they complain that not only game-specific things are posted in the OT and then open another thread the next day that is not game-related. It's legitimate but it doesn't make credible. ,-)

On topic: I understand the motives of vegans, but I can't share their uncompromising attitude. My personal motto is, everything in moderation, nothing too much.

[R]

I do, but the sense of entitlement attached to many I've conversed with is more unnerving than their life choices

[=(^ ^)=]

They are people with a bad life, eating bad food to be coherent.

Can you imaginate a white American who believes in flat earth, is vegan, does identify himself as a black woman, and loves Marx?

What we need are pizza plants like in Wall-E.
