Annoying vegans
Jump to: Newest in thread
First off not all vegans are annoying .. Now that i have that out of the way. Im talking about the ones that add it in to conversation where it don't belong. Like hi im "insert name here" im a vegan..... Why is that needed? Like im here for an oil change i dont care about your diet. Or the ones that want to harass you when you're buying meat at the supermarket. Best argument i ever had was... Only animals should eat other animals... I looked at the person with a vacant stare  and told person to say it again. .. So the person said it again. Then i asked... Are humans animals. Person responded yes. So i responded with.. This debate is over. Person was at a loss for words.

I've been a vegan, for over 10 years now.
I think it's probably made me healthier, for instance i don't think I look like I'm going to turn 46 next year..
However, health reasons were more of a bonus for me; I did it for animal welfare reasons. 
-But each to their own.

The OP is totally correct.
He is not pushing his particular dietary/social/cultural/political views on anyone. Just saying he does not want to annoyed by others in strange places and will decide what he wants to do when he wants to do it.

When have you actually had someone ever introduce themselves ‘hi I’m xxx and I’m a vegan’ don’t make up a story to save face.
It’s amazing the only people that have these interactions are the ones that are so vocal about vegans |

The Annoying Vegan trope is such a cliche. Yes some people do it, but some point, to a similar extent, do the same about so so many other things to. It's just boring to bring up, hack comedian material. |

I’ve no issue with them at all, a lot of my friends are vegan but I’m a heathen and it’s my choice but none of my vegan friends try to force it down my neck like some sort of weird food oriented religion. I know others who do and those are the people I don’t need in my life lol  |

Absolutely love this.. There is a "vegan movement", which is like the new BLM, or 3rd wave feminist movement. All just for people to get their social justice fix, and then the ones who spout out the damage its causing (global warming).
I eat a lot of game, hunted, trapped or caught by myself and then butchered/dressed, so the factory farming angle vegans have took on, me doesn't work. I don't like the way our meat is mass produced, so can kind of see their point.
I just don't like the way the whole vegan agenda is rammed down my throat like an 18" roll of tofu. |

Fab to my experience exactly reflects the outside world
Ie
Non or the tiniest of minorities of vegans overtly declare they are vegan and even less bitch about others
Vs
Rather a large number of threads with people projecting a lie that vegans are all or mostly overt and not only that usually have smug nonsensical side swipes at the vegan vegetarian ethos and lifestyle
This thread again illustrates my observation |

It's weird isn't it, I have no problem with vegans and I've never had anyone declare it to me. Further more the vegans I know really arent all that judgemental. |

In my experience there are so many more obnoxious meat eaters who feel the need to butt in with a comment about bacon or steak whenever veganism is mentioned.
(I'm not vegan or vegetarian btw.) |

Search vegan on the forum and from what I can see there are no preachy threads, theres some requesting advice but literally that's it. Well apart from the threads moaning about vegans or vegan food, theres quite a few of those. But I bet some people would claim that the forums based on those threads are full of vegans going on about veganism |

"Personally I'm becoming increasingly more annoyed by meat eaters who don't shut up about veganism than I ever have been by a vegan. "
It is rather comical actually.
I'm extremely omnivorous, so yeah I still eat meat and animal based products now and again.
But the annoying role is certainly being reversed. Most vegans no longer announce it, other than to check a menu is suitable for them which is perfectly reasonable.
The "carnivore" on the other hand will likely be the one trying to be funny by taking the piss out of vegans, but looking like a prick all the same. |

The only time I've had someone declare 'I'm a vegan' to me was a lovely woman I was seeing at uni for a little bit... I mean I had just bone us a summer bbq with very little content that wasn't meat but I'd like to think I made up for it... Anyway I like vegans, more free range steak for me  |

Yes. This has happened. Terrible blind date. It ended as soon as i ordered my meal.
Apparently the title of this post wasn't read properly. ANNOYING... Not ALL just the annoying nit picky ones that seem to think they're right. Now I'm not saying I am right.. But I'm not wrong either.. Just different. I guess its more like the sjw vegans... If that makes sense. And to the person that said he cant finish a vegan whole.. Im sorry for your luck. I enjoy eating vegetables... Its just finding a place to get rid of the wheelchair that is an issue. So i guess we have our own problems.
Also i understand the thing about animal well being. Conditions at factory farms are terrible. But im still going to eat meat. But i do have a question. What would happen to the animals if everybody quit eating meat? What would happen to natural habitats for wild animals? Would they be flattened into farmland to feed the human masses? Would the animals over populate and cause some sort of major ecosystem catastrophe?
And as far as me "forcing" my views on people for their lifestyle choices via this post.. No. Never once did i say all vegans are bad Every body needs to eat meat or else... Nor do I think that way. I just dont like being called evil or vile for eating meat.. And as far as i am concerned thats being made to feel bad for my lifestyle choices. Which is bad. It would be the same as trying to kink shame body shame... Whatever shame someone into thinking the way you think. Not cool at all |

for me, actual public activism, civil disobedience, disruption and demonstration aside [which doesn't annoy me personally], there aren't annoying vegans.
But there are non-vegans who become apoplectic at the mere mention of alternative diet, going in rhetorical circles, frothing at the mouth.
full disclosure: As it happens, a chunk of my diet is vegetarian and vegan. I don't identify as either. |

So the only tone someone has told you that they are a vegan is while ordering food in a restaurant. Yes that is really forcing the opinion on you... |

For every annoying vegan I've come across, I've come across at least 100 insecure cranky intolerant omnivores. |

Also, and this is just my opinion but no argument has ever been strengthened by adding the words 'social justice warrior'.
And when the people complaining about vegans also complain about feminists then it all gets a bit Piers Morgan really doesn't it |

Yes. Why do people following their non mainstream diet get hassled and told they're militant for not doing what others are doing?
While someone who refuses to take no for an answer about cake is just being nice?  |

And yet so many other people do the same when something they would like is not on the menu. Whining and moaning is certainly not limited to veganism.
Hell, the amount of whining and moaning from some people who eat meat (yes I eat meat) over the addition of vegan options on a menu was earth shaking. One little "sausage" roll and "steak" bake that was added as vegan friendly upset a lot of people when it had zero impact on them. |

No that is how she introduced herself hi im jane doe nice to meet you i also happen to be vegan. My response ... Oookay... Why did i need to know she was a vegan? I didn't..i wasn't ordering for her. She ordered her food. Fine.. Again i dont care im not eating it. But for her to get mad and verbally abusive with me because i ordered a meal that had meat is completely unacceptable. She was trying to shame me into feeling the way she does... No thank you
And no this is not a blanket statement. This is a very small percentage of people that do this.
Which is why it wasnt titled vegans

My old Head chef told me humerous annecdote about his once Head Chef when he was a Chef de Partie. More than likely is just a joke and not real but either way.
Head Chhef goes for meal in a new vegen restaurant maybe in the late 90's. Waiter comes over to take the order. Chef asks why there is no Steak on the menu. Waiter says well this is a Vegan restaraunt there is no steak on the menu. So Chef says 'Well stop coming into my restaraunt and asking me to cook you a bespoke meal because you are a fucking vegetarian' Then proceeds to leave. |

Well here's a fact not an opinion..
Vegans...minority group when it comes the dietary preference of the whole country
Cyclists.. minority group when it comes to total road users
Both just as smug as each other
Now that is an opinion,
So be as contradictory as you want, I really don't care about your opinion |

Two points.
1. Being awful to minority groups is acceptable or mature since... when exactly?
2. If the majority jumped off a bridge, would you do it too? |

This is actually a good point. I mostly stick to a vegetarian diet because meat gives me indigestion, but I do eat a good steak on occasion. I've been into many restaurants and those that sell meat dishes always seem to have token vegetarian and vegan dishes on offer. The vegan/vegetarian restaurants never have meat dishes on the menu. |

That irritated me as my pedantic brain sees it a misuse of language. Cauliflower steak and tuna steak are similarly annoying.

It's natural to have preferences. In the wider world and in fab. By the time we reach adulthood, we're mostly able to implement them within our lives, making any subtle adjustments of our choice, upon who we engage with, or not, as well as how. A couple of seconds of adjustment each week? Move on. Use your energy for what you can achieve and focus on this instead. |

Those following a vegan diet may want to be extra careful to ensure they are consuming enough iron, zinc, vitamin D, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Vegans are also at a high risk of developing a Vitamin-B12 deficiency that, if untreated, can potentially cause neurological effects that are irreversible.
Vegans will undoubtedly say that they aren't deficient in anything. Yes you are.. A personality! |

Head Chhef goes for meal in a new vegen restaurant maybe in the late 90's. Waiter comes over to take the order. Chef asks why there is no Steak on the menu. Waiter says well this is a Vegan restaraunt there is no steak on the menu. So Chef says 'Well stop coming into my restaraunt and asking me to cook you a bespoke meal because you are a fucking vegetarian' Then proceeds to leave.
This is actually a good point. I mostly stick to a vegetarian diet because meat gives me indigestion, but I do eat a good steak on occasion. I've been into many restaurants and those that sell meat dishes always seem to have token vegetarian and vegan dishes on offer. The vegan/vegetarian restaurants never have meat dishes on the menu.
Could this mot be called Discimination towards meat eaters ? "
No it would be called a loss of custom. They are not refusing to serve meat eaters, they are choosing not to provide the product.
Just as a meat only restaurant is under no obligation to provide any vegan meals, but they sure as hell will drop a fair amount of custom by doing so. |

One little "sausage" roll and "steak" bake that was added as vegan friendly upset a lot of people when it had zero impact on them.
That irritated me as my pedantic brain sees it a misuse of language. Cauliflower steak and tuna steak are similarly annoying.
Have no problem with the concept just the naming. "
If you're truly going to be a pedant about the word then you should only use it for meat or fish roasted on a spit. Not sure why tuna steak annoys you as the use of steak in reference to fish goes back a long time. |

"Those following a vegan diet may want to be extra careful to ensure they are consuming enough iron, zinc, vitamin D, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Vegans are also at a high risk of developing a Vitamin-B12 deficiency that, if untreated, can potentially cause neurological effects that are irreversible.
Vegans will undoubtedly say that they aren't deficient in anything. Yes you are.. A personality!"
And every meat eater is the epitome of health |

I went vegan four months ago. I did my research beforehand. With a balanced diet, you’re fine. Any vegans I know are very careful on their diet. Do you carefully manage your diet to ensure it’s balanced?
My reasons were for animal welfare, my health, and the environment. While I believe the planet would benefit from people switching to a plant based diet, I don’t force my views on others. I will share them when appropriate.
There is a lot of ignorance and misunderstanding around veganism. Research it fully before passing judgement. |

"Well here's a fact not an opinion..
Vegans...minority group when it comes the dietary preference of the whole country
Cyclists.. minority group when it comes to total road users
Both just as smug as each other
Now that is an opinion,
So be as contradictory as you want, I really don't care about your opinion
This is why I'm strongly considering veganism just to increase my smugness
Monkey, you couldn't be more smug if you tried"
Its Bike Monkey, not monkey 
And trust me i could |

Pretty much this. Thats why all the big chains have been adding more and more vegan, gluten free ect items to menu. They dont actualy care, they just want your money and its good optics. When I worked in new product development for a dessert company a couple of years ago the big push was to get low sugar, gluten free and vegan products out to places like Costa, Green King or pizza Express so they could take advantage of the trend. We worked a couple of years ahead of actual trends in the marketplace with flavours and stuff like that. Hibiscus and over floral flavours for example are in at the moment, we were working on products with those flavour profiles over two years ago. Oh from somone that has seen what ingredients actually go into some these products they are far from healthy. |

I'm not deficient in any vitamins, minerals, or in the personality department. You however, could use a little help there. |

You need to be eating alot stuff like lentils, chickpeas, nuts and tofu. Edamame beans are pretty high in protein |

Off the top of my head-
Nut roasts, beans, lentils etc.
-lentils i've noticed thicken up anything in your cooking, make it quite filling.
If you still crave meat, try things like the "tofurky" roast that you can get from places like holland & barrett, tis actually really nice. Vegan sausages are really too.
when i was in australia, you could get things like "vegan" prawns from asian supermarkets if you like making oriental food. prob available here too.
Use "liquid smoke"in your cooking, again this satisfies the meat cravings if you have them, and provides that smoky fish/bacon type flavour.

Im not offended by it at all lol, just found it amusing. Its like saying vegan venison or something. The reality is that its an imitaion of prawn flavour in lumps of starch. Guess Prawn flavoured starch lumps wouldnt sound so appetising.
Faux leather is objectively worse though environmentally speaking |

My point was more about the fact that imitations of many other animal products are common place and people happily use and buy them but lose their shit over imitations of animal products when it's food. |

"First off not all vegans are annoying .. Now that i have that out of the way. Im talking about the ones that add it in to conversation where it don't belong. Like hi im "insert name here" im a vegan..... Why is that needed? Like im here for an oil change i dont care about your diet. Or the ones that want to harass you when you're buying meat at the supermarket. Best argument i ever had was... Only animals should eat other animals... I looked at the person with a vacant stare and told person to say it again. .. So the person said it again. Then i asked... Are humans animals. Person responded yes. So i responded with.. This debate is over. Person was at a loss for words.
Eat what you want but dont try to force your views on others"

"I've never read a thread here about vegans slamming meat eaters.... started by a vegan I mean....
"
I haven't in my short time of using the forums either. But it definetly is a thing on the wider internet and social media
Look at the abuse some hunters get for example, yet these people have no clue on how hunting is used for conservation and population control. That would be quite happy for hunting of Deer to stop for example, which would just lead to over population and starvation of huge amounts of deer and has a knock on effect on other animals in that eco system |

I think most decent people are disgusted by big game hunters. I'm not sure the vitriol they receive is restricted to vegans or hunt sabs. Plus there is a very easy way not to be called out online for being the arsehole that thinks shooting a lion is an okay thing to do isnt there? |

Still hunting they are protesting about.

I would not send a death threat however anyone participating in or condoning the needless pathetic slaughter of big game
Lions tigers rhino giraffe hippo bear
Would not certainly receive the greatest condemnation I could articulate including terming the gile humans as worthless virmin
Tbf I can't really differentiate big game from foxes and I live in the country with sheep and chickens the argument is pathetic they hunt for kicks and tradition not control

"Are vegans taking over the world? Where has the sudden surge come from ? "
A rise in eco concerns and animal welfare! I believe that if we all switched to a plant based diet we would halt the climate crisis in less than a decade.
Meat and dairy production is killing millions of animals... and the planet. Research it! |

I agree factory farming and mass produced meat and dairy is a problem. But i won't be giving up shooting, hunting or fishing, and i won't be giving up eating fish, deer or game. But i do agree that production of meat and dairy needs seriously looked at. |
