If the v*gans would just stop mentioning it, they'd be more likely to convert people. Nobody likes pushy v*gans. I mean, it wouldn't change my mind at all, I'd never go v*gan, because I don't want to be associated with them regardless. But I'm sure it would change someone else's mind if they just didn't talk about it in a way I find annoying.

I know right, like I am literally never going to be vegan and I actually really don't want most people to be vegan because then I couldn't get yummy wholesome bacon. Still, don't people know that unless they fawn over people like me vegans will never convince anyone?

I actually have a whole strategy written out about being minimally visible and confronting if any silly little deluded vegan wants to hear it.

Ah, a classic "Be nice, vegan" with a grain of "Veganism is a religion" and "Veganism is annoying".

Do you have some more? Maybe "Mm, Bacon" or "Veganism is intolerant"?

This is vcj my brother, /s should always be implied. Although there are definitely carnist that post here unironically, so I'm probably running dangerously close to Poe's law. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vegan BTW.

Did you become vegan because of pushy vegans?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Kinda. I already thought I probably should for a while, but going on r/vcj pushed me to finally do it, and to not half-ass it. At the time I thought of them as pushy assholes, and I didn't really understand the community, but I also kept going back. Looking back, that probably says more about me at the time than it does about them.

People who raise cognitive dissonance almost always seem pushy. Why did it bother me so much that some community was making fun of me for doing something that I agreed was wrong, y'know?

the all caps font looks so much like one of the fonts in star wars, i think they used it at least in clone wars
