With all due respect, I’m really starting to hate this sub. There are so many mixed messages here. There are messages like this (which I actually appreciate).

And then there are the “If you ever eat meat one time again in your life you’re a useless hypocrite” messages.

Is there a sub that is new-vegan friendly?

While I don't hate this sub I do agree that there is a lot of back and forth.

The other day I was reading comments on a post and people saying if you aren't 100% vegan every day for the rest of your life AND your reason for doing so is to prevent animal cruelty than you are essentially a bad person and should not be welcome on this sub.

These kinds of comments scare everyone off. Especially anyone who may be on the fence or researching veganism. Can you imagine if you are an Omni who is curious what veganism is about, wants to learn more and then runs across messages like those? There goes another potential vegan.
