[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

CalciumDeficiency@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 325 points –

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it IRL

There's definitely animosity toward veganism as a concept itself. The types who use the term "soyboy" and boomers who consider eating lots of red meat some kind of manly recreational pastime.

Yea, those guys are just assholes though - even friends I have that love steaks are aware it's a luxury that shouldn't be expected everyday.
