[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

I have no issues with veganism but I do have issues with being attacked because I'm not vegan. I've been attacked for using cow milk even after explaining that I can't use plant milk because of sensory issues.
Funnily enough, just like you said, I know vegans IRL who would never behave that way and of course I accommodate their dietary choices when I'm in charge of food.
I think it's mostly an Internet thing when you just see the loudest minority instead of the more quiet majority.
How do they even oppose THAT?
It's not like the dairy industry is cruelty-free, y'know. Cows need to be given hormones in order to lactate constantly, and once they get past the age where they can be milked, what do you think happens to them?
I'm neither vegetarian nor vegan, but I think people need to recognize where their food comes from, and that it's not all sunshine and roses.
You want the red pill or the blue pill?
Both clips are less then 5 minutes, red is a little graphic, blue an abstract animation.
I love how people try to make this some kind of cultural issue about picking restaurants or providing options. Anybody who spends 5 minutes looking into the industry will realize it goes against basic human decency.
Yeah, I'm surprised how many comments are not even trying to understand anything. The information is only one click away, from credible sources.
Feels like talking to an army of 12 year olds.
