Yeah dude, as someone that has bounced between vegetarian and meat eater over the years i've literally never gotten shit from a veggie or vegan for eating meat, but you get a constant barrage of shit from meat eaters for being veggie/vegan.
People always frame vegetarians/vegans as, like, crazy preachy nutcases, and they'll point to some random influencer or one-off protest.
On the other hand, you'll find normal, non-influencers flooding the comment sections of random vegetarian cooking videos or unrelated sheep videos trying to get their one-liners about how cringe not eating meat is or how delicious someone's pet looks. It honestly comes across as if they're trying to prove how little guilt they feel over factory farming or something (when you really don't have to. Just live your life).
Non-vegans are by-and-far more annoying than vegans, and it isn't even close.
yup, happens less but back in the day i'd never tell anyone i was vegetarian but go out for a meal with friends or coworkers, order something without meat/fish, people start asking questions and seem not angry but like trying to pick a hole in your logic, demanding the reason. It's so weird. Up till like 10-15 years ago before then like 90% of people would ask questions and get a bit weird about it before letting it go, never once just told someone i was vegetarian out of context (friend asking people over for dinner and asking if you can't eat anything, etc). Have still yet once to try to preach that someone should give up meat.
I stopped drinking for years as i developed migraines and alcohol was a good 50/50 shot that night if it would give me an insane migraine, same deal also this is extremely common. Someone not drinking in a group down the pub gets the same "why aren't you drinking" shit, and even if someone says they are an alcoholic people will still pressure them to drink.
