Yes, I have a very similar experience to you. At this point I don't think we can consider the "vegan" posting good faith. It has reached chuds' vegan caricature levels from 10 years ago.
It is the downside of the "bullying works" style of advocacy. Not much nuance or wiggle room for edge cases. Wouldn't be as bad if it lead to a conversation but it tends to lead to dogpilling.
Ugh they're still at it--I made the mistake of posting a comment about how my weight issues make going vegan less than totally viable, got dogpiled, asked to disengage, discovered a thread in c/vegan essentially continuing the argument, discovered a comment in that thread that basically described me exactly (saying that people like me should be treated with compassion), couldn't help popping in to say so, had OP tell me essentially "I'm respecting your right to disengage and venting in a like-minded community so fuck off" (even though he was super receptive to the comment talking about people who have situations like mine--guess that was just BS though), and now someone just replied saying "well I'm on the spectrum and I did it" (yeah very helpful; all ND people are the same, definitely).
Guess it's time to log off.
Edit: I'm pleased to report that the OP of that thread sent an apology to me by DM. He and I are cool now. :comfy:
Thanks comrade! :heart-sickle:
Here's hoping this struggle session wraps up today (so the site can move on to arguing about the next thing instead lol)
Yeah, I reported the thread but tbh I didn't expect that it would be taken down, and it hasn't been. It probably wouldn't have gotten to me if OP hadn't been so supportive of that one comment I replied to. Whatever, though. I'm not going to get involved anymore; it's just not worth it.
Thanks for the support, though--it's genuinely appreciated! :Care-Comrade:
