The tone-policing is entirely disingenuous. They say they want vegans to be less “rude” and “aggressive,” but actually, they just want vegans to not have a spine.
You could unapologetically advocate for animal liberation and veganism in the most chill way imaginable, and they still would accuse you of being “forceful” and “pushy.” This is just a thought-terminating cliché they abuse the shit out of because they think it compensates for the guilt that they have knowing that carnism is unethical.
If a vegan can calmly say, “You should stop supporting animal exploitation,” and that still gets you riled up, that shit is definitely coming from within.

These are the same Reddity Le Epic Bacon brains that like to say smug “trigger the vegans” shit like “for every animal you don’t eat I will eat two” and even “joke” about the cruelty aspects.
Yep, Citations Needed did an episode about this. It’s a tactic old enough to have been used in defense of American plantation slavery.
That’s a very good way to handle them. I’m going to use that.
