    Here it is. I was wondering why you were so fucking adamant about this.

    It’s because you think that someone sharing an image of a meal they enjoyed (or they think looks good) is somehow an attempt to convert people or some form of evangelizing. Holy shit that is a toxic as fuck take, and I can’t engage with it in good faith.

    I don’t look at an image of someone’s salad, bean burrito, veggie stir fry, tofu dish, etc and think that’s someone trying to make me vegetarian or vegan. That’s fucking unhinged. It’s just somebody trying to share something they enjoyed. If it’s not my jam it’s not my jam. I’m not going to be offended by it unless it’s a friend who’s been told repeatedly it’s not my thing and they’re still sending it directly to me (group chats don’t count).

    If we weren’t this deep into the comment thread I would legitimately think you were shitposting.


    Congrats, you win I guess. Your frustration with meat eaters is 100% justified, and you’ve scientifically proven that no vegetarians or vegans have ever once been annoying evangelists to the people around them, despite all evidence to the contrary. I especially liked how you compared meat eaters sharing pictures of their meat based meals to people wanting to supress LGBT representation. That’s such an amazing masterstroke of logic and philosophy that it’s changed my entire worldview!
