    It's a bad analogy even if you want to be charitable and find nothing wrong with using a slavery analogy when literally anything else could be used without coming across as racist.
    No one is eating meat purely because a vegan told them it was bad. They do it because it's the cultural norm, because it's easier, because they like the taste, and a multitude of other reasons that really don't justify animal cruelty but also have nothing to do with whatever PETA posted today. I don't think anyone is arguing that eating meat is somehow morally superior, it's not, but people like OP will gladly pretend they do and alienate 99% of people for no reason.

        The complaint is that those vegans are just too damn alienating so I guess I can’t go vegan.

        Literally point to a single person who has said that unironically. We make both of those points ("vegans are annoying" and "I can't/won't go vegan"), but we have never connected them ("vegans are annoying therefore I won't go vegan"). Seriously, link me a single comment saying "I won't go vegan solely because vegans are annoying" unironically.
