Comically evil, yet somehow representative of all vegans in the media. They are 100% propped up by the dairy/meat industry.

      Peta constantly does these stupid stunts like get mad at animal crossing for including fishing, shit like that. They're also portrayed as the "typical vegan" throughout the media so anything you bring up veganism many people think of Peta and therefore those "crazy vegoons" stunts. Just a constant laughing stock ("People Eating Tasty Animals") and as a result nobody takes veganism as a whole seriously either. Sometimes they do things that are kinda good but given their public perception either they're an op or their leadership is playing directly into the hands of the animal ag industry.

      Edit: not to mention their horrendous takes on PBC. You're not a vegan org if you encourage people to give KFC money because they have vegan chicken substitute

        -Every organization says and does dumb shit from time to time, propaganda determines how much of that dumb shit will be used to paint your body of work

        -PETA being portrayed as cuckoo vegans is the result of them being the most prominent animal rights organization, if the most prominent one was any other "completely logical" organization they would suffer the same fate

        Pretty sure this happened twice in the last 40 years and one of them was completely understandable

          Meat industry propaganda on c/vegan? More likely than you think
