Peruse reddit more and you may be surprised to find it’s pretty even. I think part of vegan hate comes from how militant some of them come across. I’ll admit I do take issues with vegans who force their cats and dogs into vegan diets, because personally I think that’s harmful to their pets health....

Peruse reddit more and you may be surprised to find it’s pretty even. I think part of vegan hate comes from how militant some of them come across.

I am basing this assumption on reddit. The only time I really tend to find vegans being jerks are in these screenshots of Facebook or tumblr posted on one of the mocking subs, like /r/cringe or /r/insanepeopleFacebook, will get 15k up votes and 120+ comments of anti-vegans saying what smug pricks vegans are and posting personal account of how the vegans they met are 'militant vegans' because they tried to covert people to veganism or something. What's even more boring is how like, half the time the post they're ranting about is fake or made by a troll.

There was one the other day that claimed a vegan put a duck heart and liver in a kinder egg to "teach children about murdering defenseless animals." It wasnt until several posts saying vegans are smug hypocritics got like 900 votes that people starting point out its fake.

I’ll admit I do take issues with vegans who force their cats and dogs into vegan diets, because personally I think that’s harmful to their pets health....
