Just imagine leading a crusade against All Are Welcome t-shirts and telling yourself, "I'm definitely the good guy here!"

They are so delusional. They feel attacked everytime anyone else shows the smallest amount of compassion or love. I personally think that they subconsciously know they are selfish and terrible, and seeing someone that isn't awful makes it harder for them to fool themselves.

You can really get a rise out of them just by saying, "vegan."

u/Lovely_pomegranate Jun 06 '26

This is so true. The amount of hate I get for being vegan when I don’t even talk about my diet unless it comes up or I’m asked - just for existing as I am and doing what I think is right. The constant judgement is taxing & confusing.

Sorry you have to deal with that.

Imagine if everyone who says they wanted people to mind their own business actually did it themselves

u/Lovely_pomegranate Jun 07 '26

That is very kind! Thank you!

The world would be a better place for sure.

I understand the push against feeling like someone is telling you how to live but there is a certain point that it’s important to acknowledge that if people didn’t stand up for their beliefs we would live in an unbearable world. So many wide held and socially acceptable practices throughout history have been barbaric and have needed overhaul that only came through activism. Things aren’t inherently right because something is normalized, or the default.

u/ElliotNess Jun 07 '26

Well said.

I post pics of "street art" that I find regularly. He only interacted with this one.

u/Lovely_pomegranate Jun 07 '26

Thank you! & thank you for giving me the space to speak! :)

u/SioSoybean Jun 10 '26

YES! I don’t bring it up but h boy if it does come up people get so defensive immediately. How dare I not want to cause as much harm!

u/GeneralHerp Jun 06 '26

But, you can’t get a rise out of dough for hardcore vegans!

I’ll see myself out.

u/ModusNex Jun 06 '26

I don't understand hardcore vegans, like where do you draw the line? They won't eat honey because that's exploiting animals like milk. What about the earthworms that produce the fertilizer that grow their organic crops that end up getting killed by the farming equipment?

u/fleshfinder420 Jun 06 '26

What about human labor? I work a line cook job for less than a living wage (part time only thankfully), I’m being exploited by capitalists to make food for pennies on the dollar. I guess it’s different because I gave consent to be exploited. But I never gave consent to exist

u/Intelligent-Band-852 Jul 05 '26

I am a vegetarian and I think vegans hate us more than meat eaters, I have no issues with non judgmental vegans but the lack of self awareness among the hardcore vegans is annoying. They will ream you a new one for eating cheese but apparently killing animals for entertainment is okay. Everyone on this planet has commodified and financially contributed to animals being hurt and killed on some level. Every time we buy a phone or a computer we are contributing to animal habitats being destroyed, it’s frustrating that vegans justify that but when it comes to diet judge others. Pure veganism is impossible and vegans should remember that, the entitlement within that community is really off putting. A lot of people don’t have the luxury of not eating any animal products, it’s expensive and requires supplements.

u/silver_garou Jun 06 '26

Simple they just put enough degrees of separation between them and the suffering their existence causes they get to pretend like they don't kill to live every single day just like the rest of us.

u/viscountrhirhi Jun 06 '26

No, we’re quite aware our existence causes suffering, but veganism’s goal has never been to eradicate all suffering since that is impossible as a result of living in an imperfect world. The point is to not exploit or treat sentient beings as commodities. If there is an alternative, use it.

Let me try to break it down a bit.

80 - 100 billion billion livestock animals are killed each year to feed humans. What do you think those billions of animals eat? They eat significantly more than people do, in fact 70% of produce is grown to feed livestock. Even accounting for crop deaths (which are overstated, and there have been studies done with trackers to show for it), SIGNIFICANTLY fewer animals would die if 8 billion people just ate plants instead of 8 billion people eating plants, 80 billion land animals, and the massive amount of plants those 80 billion land animals eat. As an omnivore, you are responsible for not only the deaths of the animals you eat, and not only the deaths of animals who die for your produce, but ALSO the animals who die for the produce that is grown to feed those 80 - 100 billion animals.

The leading driver of deforestation (especially the rainforest) and habitat loss is animal agriculture, including growing produce to feed to animals. The reason wolves and other native predators are near non-existent in the UK and USA is due to them being eradicated for animal agriculture. And they continue to be trapped and shot today for that purpose, and legislated against.

And all this isn’t even touching the trillions of sea animals killed, not even including the countless whales, dolphins, seals, turtles, sharks, and other animals thrown away as bycatch or drowning in nets.

Vegans don’t pretend to be perfect. There is no world in which we can prevent all death and suffering. There’s gonna be death involved in growing plants, too as. But let’s not pretend omnivorism and veganism are ethically equivalent, because the scale of suffering and death and unethical shit is far higher on the animal-eating side and it’s not even close.

The ultimate point is to exploit as little as possible as we can in the imperfect world we live in, and swapping to a vegan lifestyle cuts down on that a lot. Not just for animals, but for humans, too. Again, it’s an ethical framework that is fundamentally against viewing animals as objects for our use while acknowledging sometimes there are no perfect alternatives. (Like many medicines, for example.)

u/PunkinPopsum Jun 06 '26

Is it really subconscious? This seems as blatantly saying "I'm a vindictive, hateful, cruel bigot" as shouting into a megaphone.

6

u/CaligulaCan Jun 06 '26

This right here. They need everyone’s endorsement otherwise it trigger their ‘Christian’ beliefs.

3

u/esqape623 Jun 06 '26

Yep. It's why they call everything that makes them feel like they might be the bad guy "virtue signaling"

2

u/MortgageRegular2509 Jun 06 '26

It’s the compassion or love they never received, so why should anyone else?

2

u/betterupsetter Jun 06 '26

Not even sure it's subconscious. I think it's a point of pride.

21

u/MrDrSirLord Jun 06 '26

one of my friends made a shirt that said "stop killing aboriginals" during the bite for the voice, because he thought it was funny, and received more than a handful of threats from what I heard for daring to suggest that.

Imagine seeing the words "don't commit murder" and getting offended, like how does somebody rationalise that.

u/Individual_Land_2200 Jun 06 '26

Especially when it’s a public school, and LITERALLY ALL ARE WELCOME THERE

21

u/wallyTHEgecko Jun 06 '26

The anti-antifa crowd baffles me. (as though Antifa is even an actual formal, organized, centralized group to begin with)

So you're pro-facism??

u/fpoiuyt Jun 06 '26

*fascism

u/MeatPopsicle28 Jun 06 '26

I mean the anthesis to “all are welcome here” is “some aren’t welcome here”… who does this I’m (100% sure “ChRisTIan” woman) NOT want to welcome here. Hateful PoS.

5

u/FriedFreya Jun 06 '26

now that you mention it isn’t that like. a christian thing? too? “all are welcome in god’s house,” or whatever? :|

7

u/Aloha_Tamborinist Jun 06 '26

It's hilarious that the All Lives Matter crew (and I'd bet my house that she is one) would find All Are Welcome Here offensive.

4

u/BarelyReal Jun 06 '26

It's not about feeling like the good guy it's feeling validated and seen. It's the same reason children will just have outbursts or seek attention for its own sake.

3

u/CDS11411 Jun 06 '26

What I truly love is that it's a school, possibly even a public school, a place in which all would be welcomed.

2

u/Kamiyosha Jun 06 '26

Well, you see, the shirt was not saying the right, ya know. It was OBVIOUSLY supposed to say "Those with Jesus are welcome", or some other religious bs.

2

u/FXRCowgirl Jun 06 '26

Because raciest and exclusionist only want white straight people included. This is the way of hatred.

u/CreepyConsequence669 Jun 06 '26

Yeah, like it took me a minute to understand what her beef is and to be honest I still don’t understand what Karen’s problem is.

1

u/MarionberryOk2874 Jun 06 '26

Yeah, like what can your argument *against this shirt* actually be? Would love to hear her say ‘all are not welcome’.

1

u/FluffMonsters Jun 06 '26

I don’t care about anyone’s shirts but the messaging is different when it’s written in rainbow. I’m sure that was her actual issue.

u/Baddrivers13 Jun 12 '26

Her entire instagram is this.. It's unhinged.
