    You said vegan. That explains the downvotes… And you said it as the first point even. Next time leave it for last!

        ikr, ITT, people getting mad they don’t fit into / agree with a strangers green flag list. The world is a wild place and I hope it’s not as hostile or absurd as I believe it is.

          The V word makes people go nuts because they know they ought to be.

          Notice how nobody is flipping out about my preference for people unfraid of getting their hands dirty, or imagine if I had written Buddhist. Would anyone have replied that it’s a red flag for them or written weird fantasies about anti Buddhist violence?

          It upsets people because we all know killing animals is wrong. It’s easy and it’s tasty though. We tell ourselves it’s ok because everyone else is, but then a vegan comes along and the illusion shatters.

      At the time of writing, the comment only has 32% downvotes.

      Lemmy is a lot more vegan friendly than most places on the internet.
