:vegan-liberation:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.

"this is why people hate vegans" no people hate vegans because they want to continue engaging in carnism and are looking for justification, lol (hexbear.net)

So tired of concern-trollers saying shit like "oh the uncreative recipes are why people hate vegans" "people hate vegans because they're white single-issue activists" "people hate vegans because they're annoying" "people hate vegans because the food is bad" like 1. literally none of those things are even true and 2. even if they were it's not why people hate vegans.

also somewhat unrelated but i'm going to soapbox about substitutions: complaining about vegan substitutions is almost always anti-vegan unless it's a person having specific qualms with a specific thing. but there are people who will shit on substitutions as a whole concept and pretend they're so original and have the highest opinions of food ever created. like I'm sick and tired of non-vegans (and vegans too) complaining about tofu being used as a substitute in a lot of vegan dishes. just let people enjoy their goddamn food in peace.

My response usually goes 1 of 2 ways.

1 way general curiosity. How long have you been vegan? What are some of your favorite dishes? What's your challenges? How did you overcome them? All I respond to earnest and explain as best I can.

People going wow idk how you could do it I could never. Or judging what I'm eating. Which always receives the same reply. "I enjoy knowing my meal didn't involve harming or slaughtering an animal over any extra enjoyment my tastes buds may have gotten." Which immediately usually starts something and then I just laugh at their defensiveness. Maybe not the best response. But I just find it generally rude as fuck to start judging what I'm eating.

Like I told people a few weeks back and then they wanted to get down to how aktshually eating honey does not harm bees. And I'm like I really do not care to debate you.
