Why do people have so negative opinions about Vegetarianism/Veganism? (Page 2)

Question

My gf is a vegan, which means i dont eat that much meat at home. It's not a problem for me, because my gf is really good at cooking and i can put together a good meal that is vegan. 

But i dont understand why some people are so harsh and mean to vegans making jokes and talking about them eating meat and stuff like that. Being a vegan is their choice and it should be respected as their way of living.

And not only are they against killing animals, but it's good for the enviorment aswell since the meat industry is a huge factor to global warming.

Anyways, i want to hear your thoughts :)

They simply are not tolerant, blinded by their own opinions, or influenced by silly facts on the internet. I eat meat, but know a lot about vegetarian&vegan lifestyle and respect them (EXCEPT if they get in my face and try to prove me something without listening to my opinion.)

You will invariably hear about it. If they don't go rubbing it in your face openly, they'll make sure you find out by saying 'oooh, I need to see what vegan options they have'.

If they don't want to eat meat, that's fine, but I really don't care.

Because they care. That's why so many people hate social activists because they're so bold with their opinions at times. People don't like others who don't conform. As for me, I don't have a problem with vegans.

Because most vegans try to force their beliefs on others. Calling someone "cruel" or "heartless" for eating meat is uncalled for.
I'm a vegan myself, but I don't look down on people that eat meat. Everyone can eat what they want.

Have you seen some of those videos online where, people are being annoying and keep screaming "It's not food, it's violence!". Thats probably why lol. I learn towards not eating much meat myself so I can understand if that's someones personal choice. But it's kinda like with everything, don't shove your opinion down other peoples throats and your good!

I just don't understand how anyone can willingly choose to reject bacon.

If vegans would stop breaking our fucking balls with their principles maybe we could have more posit opinions about them. People who tell me its a crime to drink milk in the 21st century can't be taken seriously by me.

Because so many of them are judgmental, self-righteous twats who look down their noses at anyone who would dare eat the flesh of another creature.

I have no problems with anyone personal life styles. Most vegans I know bring it on themselves by constantly shoving it in your face.

Ricimer · Answer

Experience with Vegans but there is overgeneralizing  The reason these vegans bragged being vegans because vegans are not that common.  People like being special.

wendigoRed · Answer

Because a lot of them have an elitist moral superior type attitude to their veganism.
