    If you think something is bad, you'll think it's bad regardless of who or what culture does that thing.

    Vegans never initiate these conversations about indigenous tribes though. It's obviously not where efforts are necessary or high priority. And if you look at the definition of veganism from the Vegan Society it explicitly states "as far as is possible and practicable". So if your comeback is "but they can't do really do anything else" then you're not actually in full disagreement. The idea that vegans are bad because they're focused on stopping the indigenous way of life needs to stop.

      Vegans never initiate these conversations

      We literally did not have a problem between the vegans and larger community on this website for 8 months until the VCJ community was onboarded and immediately we get a 10 day long struggle session. Vegans were present and doing a bit of bullying all over the site the whole time without problems.

      8 months of harmony, but now at least 2 of our indigenous users loudly quit and everyone is mad. Something changed.

        Oh, I didn't mean vegans don't initiate difficult conversations, I only meant that about indigenous tribes.
