      Ignoring the obvious joke you missed. If someone being a little rude is enough to make you completely give up on your ethical/moral stance, you need to grow a spine dude .

      If a gay person is an ass to me i dont decide to become homophobic and blame it on them.

          Okay how about this.

          A person who says murder is bad is also mean to me, does that mean i get to murder people and blame them?

          The point is the idea that you can do something unethical or completely abandon your morals because an advocate of it was kinda annoying to you is insane

        I won't go near the comparison to one's sexual preference, to another voluntary dietary habits.

        But, you're not wrong. If this was something that was super important to me and life affecting, then you are completely right.

        Now, as someone who is just trying to not eat meat for personal and whatever reasons, that's not how you get people into your cause. I am not bound to it, and the perception of the community is something i get to have liberty with.

        How about "well, it's not an animal. not bad". Not being me with my kid hearing that her favorite burger patty (the impossible one) is a waste of money and an embarrassment to the real vegans in the middle of the safeway by a random asshole stranger, who had the after thought to explain how tofu is better totally not noticing that his very life is in danger.

            In fairness, it's really easy to act like a badass in front of...am I reading that right, some hypothetical guy in Costco who told his daughter she's not a real vegan?

              I didn't act or anything. I just stood there much like here watching the entitled dietary moron go off.

              But I was really annoyed so like the imaginary cool vegan, it was more contexts. But good notes. It was Safeway. No wonder yall are not taken seriously.

                Once again, because it's come up so many times in this thread, not at all vegan, definitely omnivorous, just not someone who assumes their membership in the majority defines them as a victim unlike the coward Wage_slave@lemmy.ml

      This is not arrogance it's playful language for humorous effect. The real reason to not eat fake meat is that it usually doesn't taste very good no matter how you prepare it, whereas traditional vegan food can be amazing
