I understand that you believe being vegan is the right thing to be/do. That’s cool. I support your right to work on the solution you believe is right for whichever issue motivated you, be it environment, animal rights or something else.

BUT I DO NOT FUCKING SUPPORT IT WHEN YOU CALL PEOPLE HYPOCRITES FOR BELIEVING IN ANIMAL RIGHTS AND NOT BEING VEGAN LIKE YOURSELVES.

FUCK YOU.

Being vegan is not an option for everyone. Fresh veggies can be fucking expensive depending on where you live, not everyone has access to a farmer’s market. Not everyone has the mental capacity and/or spoons to spend the time and care to plan and prepare vegan food, which often takes more time than non-vegan foods.

I do believe we should treat animals with respect and care, BUT I can not ever live vegan. Why? I cannot keep track of what’s in my fucking fridge. Too many veggies would go bad for me and I would have to throw away several pounds of food every single fucking week. Instead I frequently live off of yoghurt, bread and cheese and such, because that’s what I can manage to eat before it goes bad. ‘Cause you know, throwing away lots of food is totally better for everyone than eating a few animal products.

And yet, I still believe we should treat animals right. This apparently makes me a hypocrite in your holier-than-the-rest of-us-lowly-sinners eyes.

Well, fuck you. When you have abolished poverty and made sure that every single human being has access (location and finance-wise) to proper vegan groceries, then your claim of hypocrisy might ring true. When you have made sure that everyone with a cognitive disability or other issues that prevent them from organising their meals like you would gets respectful help with getting and preparing fod then you might have an ear for your claims.

And then again. No. You might not. ‘Cause some of us just don’t fucking believe that veganism is the solution to every fucking thing that ails this world and its population. We are not hypocrites if we disagree with your solution.

You are, however classist and ableist (and probably a few other -ists) in the extreme for expecting people to live vegan if they are for animal rights.

And don’t fucking compare animals to slaves, women, etc etc. Marginalised people have been considered animals for so fucking long that you’re REALLY not making a good case for your cause by using the same fucking comparisons that the bigots are.

Fuck you, you classist, ableist, racist fuckers. Just fuck you and stay the fuck off my feed.

PS: mandatory disclaimer. This is, of course only directed at the vegans, who actually think and say what I outlined above, and not at the presumably vast majority of vegans who are really cool people, who has a sense of reality and respect for real people’s real live experiences in the real world.

Also, this was, of course, triggered by the quote I reblogged and commented on a little while ago, so don’t tell me vegans are not like that, ‘cause the reblogged quote and some of the commentary shows quite well that some of you fucking are.
