Why are Vegans/Vegetarians so arrogant?

[ElDiablo666]

Whenever I meet a vegan/vegetarian, or see one on TV, they always do 2 things:
1, Bang on about being a vegetarian/vegan
2, Constantly act like they are better than you because they don't eat meat and you do.

Has a vegan/vegetarian acted this way to you?
Have you, as a vegetarian/vegan acted this way?

Fact: Humans have sharp teeth at the front of their mouth for cutting/slicing meat.
Humans, and our ancestors, have been carnivores for 2.5 million years.
You are not superior if you choose NOT to eat meat now.

I meant we are omnivores, but we are pretty carnivorous by nature.

The same reason we have wars over religion, same reason we had wars over race. Some people thought they were better than somebody else, for what they believed to be right and just.

Many of vegans and vegetarians will preach about not eating meat because its being a living thing and the meating industry is crazy on how they do their buisness (which is true actually) With this, they get a sense of... superiority, in the fact that THEY see themselves as some kind of saint for not partaking in acts like eating meat. This has them raising their noses at people who DO eat meat, because they see them as beneath them for partaking in acts they they see as wrong. While other vegans and vegetarians just see it as a life choice and while they also might have the same thoughts on meat, don't degrade people who partake in meat, because they dont see themselves as above everyone else.

In short, its arrogance and superiority complex that has people acting like assholes when they choose a particular lifestyle.

[ElDiablo666]

Exactly, and humans are natural omnivores, so sod them.

[Lyndsielee666]

I’ve never acted that way. What someone else eats has nothing to do with me 🤷‍♀️

[ElDiablo666]

That's good

[Lyndsielee666]

You have to wait 24 hours I think and you’ll get a notification telling you not to forget to pick one (:

[ElDiablo666]

Ah, thank you. Kinda new to this site.

[Lyndsielee666]

No problem friend. You’ll get the hang of it!

[ElDiablo666]

Set up profile easy enough, and answered some stuff, now ASKED something.

Now just trying to get my xper to 2 so I can message...

[Lyndsielee666]

YOUR RIKKU HEADER IS THE BEST HOLY SHIT

[ElDiablo666]

She is just sexy as fuck, right? I love her.
One of my favourite game characters ever!

Also love Fran the Viera from FF XII

[Lyndsielee666]

Tifa and aerith will always be my favorite 😭😭

[ElDiablo666]

The Seraphim from the game Sacred.
And the Vampiress from the same game, she makes me hard!

Because they don't realize just by existing they kill millions of animals. And just think well if i don't eat them that solves the problem of them dying. When they die for millions of other reasons and still will die from been eaten. There just Hypocrites which automatically makes them dumb so them been arrogant just comes along with it.

If there not eating animals cause they don't like the taste that makes sense but you would have to be the most illogical person to do because you want to save animal lives which 99% of them think that.

[ElDiablo666]

True.
In fact, if we stop eating them, we dont need them anymore.
Yes, we would keep cows and sheep for milk and wool, but no need for chickens anymore.
Other animals would die out as we won't need to maintain them for food.

Vegan, thats no fish either, so there be too many fish, overbalancing the ecosystem.

I've been a vegetarian for 30 years my wife for over 40. The only time we bring it up is when we're invited over for a meal, invite someone else over or are asked. What I choose to eat or not is really my business. I agree that preachy vegetarians and vegans are annoying. You probably know a lot more but as it's not something that they bring up often it's something that you just don't know.

[ElDiablo666]

Ah, you see, you are exactly the kind that is good.
You don't get all preachy about it or bang on about it, you only mention it when it's necessary to do so.

Like if you don't drink and someone offers you a pint. Instead of going around telling everyone "I don't drink and that makes me better than you".

[Anpu23]

As far as health I'm 6 foot even come in about 190 lbs. I'm a distance runner, and been in martial arts for 42 years. Maintained a 10 minute mile for 30 miles on my longest run. Can bench my own weight. Workout regularly, healthy physicals.

[Konabeana]

Okay I am a vegan and I have been for 2 years. I don’t do any of the above you listed. You say that they constantly act better because they don’t eat meat? Well you are being a hypocrite because further into your post you give a fact about how humans are made carnivores, bashing on vegans. You are not superior if you choose to eat meat. I will say one thing: veganism and vegetarianism is the way of the future.

[ElDiablo666]

Wasn't attempting to sound superior at all mate.
Was simply pointing out that we are evolved to eat meat, and you shouldn't act superior for choosing to deny human nature.

Obviousl not ALL veggies and vegans act this way, but like all things, its the ones that DO who cause problems.

Same with those feminists who say "all men are cunts" and stuff. Not all feminists are like that, just SOME, and they spoil the idea for everyone.

[ElDiablo666]

Stating a fact isn't bashing anyone.

[Astarlessnightsky]

No and no.

Never have i been lectured by a vegan/vegetarian and never have i lectured others.

And by the way humans are omnivores not carnivores. We can eat both meat as well as plants.

[ElDiablo666]

True. Omnivores, eating both meat and other foods.
I wish I could correct that.

You know, we are one of the only so called "primates" that eat meat.

[Astarlessnightsky]

It's new to me that all primates eat only plants.

It is a surprise to me, since most of the apes have really big fangs. And usualy only carnivores/omnivores need these kind of fangs.

But i guess they are still good for fighting among themselves.

[ElDiablo666]

Primates mainly eat plants and fruit.
Nuts too

[Astarlessnightsky]

"I meant we are omnivores, but we are pretty carnivorous by nature."

Yes because meat has the most calories, so it did ensure survial in pre-industrial ages. Thats why omnivores eat all the meat they can and only plants if there is no meat at hand.
But now as times changed and meat is readily available we eat way too much.

[EABsTUQ]

I eat vegan. I usually don't even mention it because people just make fun. I disagree with your, "fact". I have never met/seen an arrogant vegan in real life. Keep in mind the vegan community itself is partitioned.

[ElDiablo666]

You are the victim of them. People hate you for being vegan, and take the piss... and its because of them.
I have met these very arrogant ones, one was preaching in my town centre once

[nodnol32]

Its mainly vegans it seems and not vegetarians. Idc tbh, as long as they are not calling me out for eating meat. On the plus side, more meat for us and hopefully a downward pressure on the price for meat.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t know why that they think they seem to be better than everybody that walks the face of the earth just because they don’t eat meat anything that has a face on it. Most of them quit anyway

[ElDiablo666]

One said to me "I don't eat anything that was alive, thats why I don't eat meat".
I said you can't eat fruit and veg either then, they were alive.

[Iron_Man]

They are very odd people for sure and they look skinny and bony

[ElDiablo666]

Meat is a natural source of protein

You know they're claiming if we all go vegan it will help stop global warming.
Morons

[Iron_Man]

Yes for sure

[najekim]

Yeah, a couple times. Shut them up when I told them since they don't eat meat their brain cells have stopped growing.

[ElDiablo666]

Is that true?

[najekim]

The eating meat, especially cooked, is what aided Australopithecus to evolve into the Homo species and larger brains with almost every successive version of Homo since to this day and beyond. Some studies indicate the next version of Homo will have even a larger and better functioning brain than we do today due to continued meat consumption. So vegans/vegetarians will become the chimpanzees of today.

[ElDiablo666]

Unfortunately, we may never evolve.

[In_Trance]

Trouble is, non vegetarians/vegans never stop talking about vegetarians/vegans in a derogatory context, so who's really arrogant here?

[ElDiablo666]

Hmm...
I guess thats true. Some really do.
I'd like to ask them WHY.

[In_Trance]

I see both sides. I think those that are arrogant about it suffer cognitive dissonance

[Anonymous]

Because we are better than you.

[ElDiablo666]

You see, perfect example.
I'm sorry to all the nice veggie/vegans on here, but...

What the fuck makes you BETTER than me?
You are denying human nature and claiming that makes you BETTER?

I'm just trolling bro tucking into a fry up as we speak 😂
