[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

Riiiight up until the Earth becomes uninhabitable for humans because we're doing shit like destroying the Amazon rainforest for more cattle farmland, but sure!
Let's hope the sea level will go up so much to kill us all before that /s
I mean, you are basically always in a group that is fucking the planet or society to some measure or another. Tell me about your religious choice, your political affiliation, your operating system/ phone / perspective on privacy, your opinion on nature vs nurture (or education vs indoctrination), and your perspective on micro- and macro-economic policy and I'll be happy to tell you where and how you're a giant irredeemable piece of shit.
No thanks!
That's the fallacy called "whataboutism" where you point out other issues that exist as a reason to not solve the current problem we're talking about.
I would absolutely agree with you if there was only one surefire way to making earth uninhabitable, but luckily we've got several of those on the table at once.
