I honestly was being a bit of an ass for no reason, I do apologise. I'm a vegan myself, but only converted a few months ago. I'm just now depressed when I see how negatively people comment on anything vegan online, and spread misinfo frequently. Also I should've said "vegan-ism defenders"
People get paid a salary by meat/dairy industries to go online and astroturf against veganism. Its just part of being vegan online
I don't know about online, but in my day to day life most people who talk shit about vegans are exactly the sort of people you'd imagine; edgelords who think masculinity is congruent with being a dick.
FWIW I've come across multiple "PETA is the punchline" memes on Lemmy over the past few days, after having seen none that I remember. Not to jump to conclusions or claim conspiracy but I had already noted it to myself earlier today. I concur, the way some people approach the subject can be very depressing.
