    I have a deep desire to resurrect the vegan struggle session every time I see people tone policing us on this website, but we live in 1984 and I know the mods would remove it smh-ing my head

      I don’t need a struggle session for how I ethically eat. If you think not wanting people to be rude is tone policing then you’re probably not nice.

            It means griller. Someone who doesn’t have a strong opinion either way on a topic, or who seeks an impossible middle-way solution that pleases all sides.

            In this context, OP wants a community that is both vegan and sufficiently accepting of non-vegans, which might be tough to find.

              Because being a preachy holier than thou dickhead is like, “the point” for a lot of vegans. Oh they’ll tell you it’s not that, while they tell you how much better they are than you because they reject anyone with a different opinion than they have, while you’re a rapist and a murderer because you let others be and make their own choices without evangelizing like a christian.

              I’m fine with normal vegans, like the OP. In fact, most vegans I meet IRL are like OP, I even have a vegan friend who doesn’t give me shit about it and we take her veganism into concern when we eat and will go to a place that has good vegan and meat options (or she’ll cook her own vegan dish to share if potluck), fun times all around. But the Culinary Jehovah’s Witnesses are just as annoying as the actual Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Daiya?” But the vegans don’t even have the balls to go door to door, they only recruit for their cult online, so honestly I respect it even less as much as I’d hate both.

                Almost every single vegan was raised carnist. We don’t think we’re better, we wish people shocked us out of it earlier. If people are trying to convince you to go vegan it is because they hope that you might be better than them and change easily.

            This is how the average hexbear user responds. Don’t think too deeply about it, because they sure aren’t.
