Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    Vegetarian here (I like cheese, sue me)

    Just wanted to point out a reason not listed:

    Look at the people posting succinct points in here without attacking. Then go look at the downvoters, and follow them back to the vegan magazines where they’re rather caustic, to put the least. Not everyone likes being compared to nazis when we’re just existing in the same food chain as every other animal, carnivore or no.
