The one time I actually tried this, it did not go over well
Some people still aren’t very accepting of Vegetarians.
Vegans often aren’t very accepting, themselves. Too many times have I been enjoying my own meal, minding my own business, and some arrant vegan decides to come up and give me a piece of their philosophy.
Look, lady, I came here for a meal, not a lecture. And the self-righteousness is enough to make me lose my appetite.
And the self-righteousness is enough to make me lose my appetite.
So… it works then?
Only if making everyone hate vegans is your goal
Yeah no, this doesn’t actually happen but nice try
Wow. A vegan giving a vegetarian a lecture is pretty hardcore. I guess they figure maybe easier to tip the scale towards conversion.
I apologize for being unclear: I am not a vegetarian, nor was I referring to vegans lecturing vegetarians. It has been my experience that vegans tend to lecture just about anyone who isn’t also a vegan. I’ve even seen them lecture other vegans who they didn’t think were “enough “vegan. Whatever that means.
Sorry!
Edit; I have also met perfectly polite vegans who act like perfectly normal people, but the majority have that sort of self-righteous lecturing attitude towards everyone. And it’s exhausting.
I really don’t care what you eat, as long as it’s not something horrifying like a baby.
It’s unfortunate that this is the stereotype of vegans when every vegan knows how much more common it is for meat eaters to lecture and belittle non meat eaters. No one should be doing it, but vegans get disproportionate blame for it.
This is probably true, although the ratio varies regionally. Around my place it’s usually the meat eaters who are obnoxious because they become insecure. I also know places where you find a whole lot of zealous vegan missionaries.
What’s unfortunate is that vegans, for some reason, unlike any other human on earth, simply cannot keep their self righteous indignation to themselves and feel compelled to shove it in everyone else’s faces. THAT is what’s unfortunate.
Thanks for proving my point.
There truly is no way you actually believe obly vegans are ever self righteous and annoying. It is quite literally impossible for thst to be true.
So you lied to that mother! No wonder it didn’t go well!
Well then that kid is going to have a bad childhood.
Ah yessss, I likess them raw and wiggling, Gollum!
I was going to make a Kosher joke, but it felt like it was missing something…
Just the tip
Alternatively, you can also opine about people not taking “A Modest Proposal” as seriously as they should, and the only failing you can see it limiting it to the children of the poor.
I prefer “Aw, thanks! You shouldn’t have.”
“Christ, no, I’ve aleady got two!”
Get in my belly.
I’m bigger and stronger than you! I’m higher on the food-chain!
Hands them my baby pothos sappling 🥹😭
I always go with “but what if I kill it?”
What if they agree you should? No thank you, I do not want to be part of that conversation.
