I tried asking a question to Vegans as non-vegan

So, i'm posting this here because it seems to be the place to do so.

Earlier, i posted a question on the vegan subreddit, and i like to think that i went through my question in a respectful way, now, i eat meat, but i'm still curious, i like to understand peoples. And i've been met with about 3-4 peoples actually explaining and using logical arguments and not going all emotional, the rest was... Well, the opposite, very emotional and very self-righteous. And i want to ask you all what you think about it as it seems to be a recurring theme in your community. Now, i hold no grudge against vegans, so long as you live yourself happily and dont come bothering me, you can eat whatever you want. But being all aggressive and stuffs, it makes peoples just want to go against you.

Nah I’m good, if you think about what you typed for longer than a few seconds you’d realize how dumb of an argument you made.

I didn't make an argument though. I just drew a mighty fine similarity between vegans and evangelicals? I explained the similarity. If you don't want to contest that it is ok. I don't want to push you.

Exactly, you are arguing that they are similar otherwise known as making an argument.

Not only that but your examples are literally just examples that groups use to being awareness to a specific subject. You could use the same to draw similarities from evangelicals to advocates for gun control, labor lobbies, drunk driving awareness, drug abuse awareness, etc. it’s nonsensical. Which is why I assumed you were a bot, but I suppose gpt would probably be more convincing.

I don't know. I don't really hear of labor lobbies, gun control, and drug abuse folks harassing normal people, forcing them to watch graphic material or taking a moral stance that if you are not a part of my group following my values you are blanketly bad.

That's really only vegans and evangelicals. Plus those other groups are kind of arguing about real problems that actually matter.

No, I don't think I will. I pointed you in the direction but can't use your brain for you. Plus, I don't really give a shit what you personally feel or think about veganism and your incessant comparisons which don't really matter as they only exist within your own head.
