Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL
Except you don’t see atheists throwing a tantrum. So not like atheism at all.
if you think internet atheists can’t be just as obnoxious as internet vegans you clearly haven’t been around enough of them.
Speaking as an atheist, can confirm.
To be pendantic, the vocal atheists are more specifically antitheists as in they are opposed to theism, not just someone who doesn’t believe.
The common denominator is the internet part though. The last obnoxious atheist I saw was 14, and I have yet to see an obnoxious vegan IRL
Give me one example.
Don’t remember when /r/atheism was a default on the other site?
That’s your example? A sub being the default on Reddit? That’s equal to protests in the streets by vegans to you?
As an example of internet atheists being as obnoxious as internet vegans, yes that’s my example.
Edit: with regards to the content it was posting back when it was a default, not the fact that it was a default
Their example is 99% of the popular content for that board during that era.
The sub being a default wasn’t. The content on that sub was though
Atheists highlighting religious atrocities is very annoying, yes. Imagine just doing you thing, raping kids and murdering people for not believing in your religion and someone posting on Reddit about it. So annoying!

lol. Me arguing on lemmy is the same as vegans protesting in the streets? Go touch some grass.
Oh, oh! I have a more recent example of a cringy militant atheist now, do you need a link? Here ya go.
Get real. Every single group that lives outside the heteronormative, christian nationalist banner has fit-throwers. Saying that there aren’t those atheists but certainly are those vegans is as dumb as any other half-baked argument out there.
You make it sounds like the heteronormative, christian nationalist s don’t throw fits all the time.
Can you name any atheist protests?
Can you name a “vegan” protest?

You know if you do the same for “atheists protest” tons of shit pops up too. Even ones without Megan Kelly. You position is so flimsy and yet you still are digging in. You are a reply away from “do your own research”. Embattled ideology always comes with protest. The absolute unmitigated smugness that one group of people are more annoying than another based on their ideology is problematic at best and at worst, you are a pube away from wearing a red hat and diapers.
You make me reconsider if I am on the right side of this, you are such an asshole that you drive people away from thinking of using trump as an insult
Looking at your comment history I’m right. You cheesy fuck. Do you have a red hat? I think you might. Hope you enjoy your meat lovers pizza as you try to wax on about vegan and atheist activism. That’s some real alpha shit.
There’s nothing wrong with being a vegan or an atheist, no one has a problem with 99.9% of them and they are entitled to their life choices.
The alpha theory was disproven years ago and the ones that need to be alphas have their own issues to handle.
The pizza was delicious though, thank you!
Opposition to religious monuments on public grounds. They are low key and the only violence, vandalism, or public disturbances come from religious folks.
Every action by the Satanic Temple?
Though they are kind of amusing trolls about it.
