If I had a penny for every time a non-vegan gave me unsolicited nutritional advice...

My biggest frustrations with the anti-vegan posts that garner thousands of notes on this app are they tend to always be points actively discussed in vegan spaces since their creation.

Veganism varies by circles and isn’t a protected word, so is absolutely used by Instagram dieters and misanthropes who have never considered the oppression of humans, but veganism has also has (and has had for decades) active discussion about the requirement to support human and social liberation alongside that of non-human animals. All leftist vegans I know firmly agree that non-human liberation of the environment and other animals is not going to happen and is futile without just as much focus on all the other injustices in a capitalist society. That includes a holistic boycott whenever possible of products and enterprises that harm humans alongside avoiding animal produce .

Of course like, the tumblr users making these posts probably haven’t seen these vegan circles or discussions because they’re not in them, and the health dieters and non-intersectional single issue focused activists are pretty vocal and infuriating, but still. It’s so infuriating to see people bringing these up as a gotcha towards veganism based off things that vegans have greatly in depth discussions, prioritising the voices of those whom are minorities, for so long.

I've been quieter about my stance on animal rights and the like than I want to be because I didn't want to come off as the annoying vegan but I just saw something that I couldn't understand and it made me angry to the point of feeling sick. It was a thread talking about how meat farmers will name the animals they plan to slaughter. Farmers talking about how they name their animals but they joke about how delicious they'll be, and they're upset when they die, but then they eat the meat anyway and move on? Like how fucking sick is that? I almost vomited looking at what people were saying. I couldn't get through two replies to the main post before I just blocked everyone. I just fundamentally cannot understand why people are ok with just doing something like that. It makes my heart ache. How have we done this for thousands of years? I don't understand, is there something wrong with me? I feel like I'm not built to function in a world where this is something I have to live with. It makes me so angry. You don't get to have it both ways. They're either pets and companions or something you plan to kill. I cannot understand on a spiritual fundamental level why under any worldview you would think you can have it both ways. Oh my fucking god man I can't do this. I'm not made for this cruel disgusting world.

Re: biggest cognitive dissonance anon.

I had a girl cry while she told me a (harrowing) story about a kitten she tried and failed to save. We agreed that it was hard to deal with people who don't understand how one can get so attached to animals, and then I told her that, as a vegan, I completely understood the feeling...

And she asked me what veganism had to do with it.

This is so wild but I’ve met a lot of people who just don’t associate veganism with animal rights at all. They think of it as a diet first and foremost, and because they have never associated their own animal consumption with animal suffering, they don’t associate our boycott of it with preventing that suffering.

Veganism and animal rights are among the topics people end up extremely ignorant about precisely because they don’t want to research it. They are afraid of what they will find if they properly look into where their food came from, and it is just easier to be ignorant. This is the only good explanation for how we have intelligent people in their 30’s who don’t know that cows need to be pregnant to produce milk, or what happens to male chicks, or even that animals suffer at all as a result of us exploiting and killing.

[video description: a video by thegentlebarn. it starts with a clip of people grooming a cow's snout with the caption, "5 signs a cow is truly ✨ happy ✨." each of the captions describing the signs is accompanied by clips of cows exhibiting them. they are:

"1. they expose their belly for tummy rubs as a sign that they trust you 2. they initiate gentle physical contact like licking or hugging you 3. they're chewing cud - this means they feel safe & their digestive system is doing its thing 👍 4. zoomies! just like with dogs, this is most often a playful, happy behavior 5. they make a 'purring' sound - cows do this when they're extremely relaxed and content. it's like a big exhale"
