The people you are describing arent the ones being harrassed. Its the elitists who make eating meat their religion and shaming any who dont

    Why would you make that assumption? I havent even made a statement on the matter and am already being harrassed.

    If you are so confident in vegans harrassing almost-vegans who try to live without animal products, please name a single instance. I would genuinely like to see a comment like that because I havent seen any and Ive read a lot of arguments about veganism.

    I think it's very hypocritical of you to assume that and then call me out for assuming something similar. And then you call this harassment? I made an assumption based on an assumption you felt free to make. But when I make a similar assumption, that's harassment?

    If you are so confident in vegans harrassing almost-vegans who try to live without animal products, please name a single instance.

    I've personally experienced it, both in real life and on social platforms, including lemmy. I just make it a point to try and avoid interactions like that these days. I don't go into vegan communities despite being really enthusiastic about stuff like meat substitutes because around 50% of my interactions have been terrible. And 50% is a terrible number btw. The false equivalences, the assumptions and other issues even in this post's comments section is kind of alarming. But yeah... Play a victim if that's what suits you i guess.

    I like the concept of veganism, but your community isn't the best to outsiders. One day that too will change hopefully.
