    Kindly fuck off with your spammy “relevant” links and your sanctimonious “oh you’re almost there, sweetie” attitude.

    We get it, you’re vegan and you think everyone should be. Unfortunately, that’s never going to happen, but what can happen is that people reduce the amount of animal products they consume, which would have a MASSIVE impact relative to how things are now.

    That said, your attitude is actively harming the cause that you espouse. Nobody’s gonna want to go vegan if this is how you act about it, jfc.

      Why are you so angry at someone simply providing sources and advocating that we stop harming animals?

      You make it sound like I’ve been rude and condescending but I haven’t.

        You’ve absolutely been self-righteous about it. I think this comment is a good example, as is spam posting the same links without really saying anything other than “or…you could go vegan :) tee hee!”

        It’s not productive, and actively turns people off in a time when many of those same people are, for the first time, reconsidering their dietary balance.

        It’s like criticizing an out-of-shape person at the gym. Maybe they’re not doing it the way you think it should be ideally done, but they’re at least trying and doing something rather than giving up entirely.

          I don’t see what’s self-righteous about that comment.

          The links provide context to the discussion, giving people the data so they can verify is a good thing.

          It seems like you feel attacked, I haven’t attacked you.
