Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL
Also if the vegan is being preachy and judgemental that this somehow totally undermines their point, which can now be ignored because some vegans somewhere were hypothetically rude.
We can have a conversation about effective and respectful rhetoric, but the material and ethical facts of the argument are not going to change.
