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

My personal experience: Trying to find a restaurant that has vegan friendly options isn't always easy, and used to be much harder. That would make trying to find somewhere to eat as a group much more tedious if someone was vegan. I don't think anyone had issue with the person being a vegan, I think they just didn't like eating at the same two restaurants over and over.
You could do what I do and just don't eat when you go out. I did the same before I went vegetarian. Food is fucking stupid I'd rather just hang out and tell jokes.
You can also cheat. Reducing your meat intake some is better than nothing.
But then you lose your superpowers, as we all saw in the documentary Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
