But have you never run into the vegans that treat it like holy scriptures? That vegan is the one and only true way to be ethical and/or moral? I mean, I can believe that, it’s not like you’d run into that if you aren’t frequenting the places where the proselytize online (I’ve never had one dumb enough to do it in person).
It really is a thing that they treat being vegan as a command from on high than anyone who doesn’t fall in line is not just wrong, but bad. Not all vegans for sure, just the most visible ones because the chill vegans and vegetarians are just living their best life and eating well.
But, because of that obnoxious branch, I get a cheap giggle out of riling them up because calling them zealots gets the worst ones to act like zealots. It really reminds me of my pet chicken. Doesn’t take much to get her little wattles and comb bright red, and that tail twitching. And, since I have a very vivid imagery ability, that’s what I see when I pull this childish troll. Just some random person with their arms bent, flapping them and squawking madly as they scratch the ground. I did mention it’s childish, right? Me trolling them is childish, but I can’t seem to help myself. It’s almost as fun as going to to a group of fellow metalheads and asking them if they love that amazing metal band, nickelback.
Eh, when you put out obvious bait, and a fish runs with it, it’s kinda on the fish.
You throw out some kind of weird fly, any fish with sense is going to be wary.
Vegans are the fish in this analogy. When there’s a troll so obvious that a teenager is like “dad, does anyone ever actually fall for that?”, and the vegan fish not only nibble at the bait, they swallow the whole dang rod, it’s almost like the bait is true. I mean it is true, but it’s still also an obvious thing meant to take the piss.
It’s irresistible to me because it has never once, in over a decade of doing it on various forums, failed entirely. At most, it would take a day or two to get noticed before someone comes screeching in, ready to lambast and be nasty. I have zero guilt about messing with the kind of people that take the bait.
Well, that’s cool :)
