    I just don’t get it. If you actually don’t need to consume animals to survive then why do it at all? People expect us to be nice to them about it??

        Apply this to anything else though. This comes up in all sorts of other social issues whenever one group has a problem and another group sees no problem.

        “I just wish they’d be nicer about it” has been applied to environmentalism and civil rights issues too, and I don’t think it’s a valid response.

        People making you uncomfortable doesn’t invalidate what they’re saying.

          No not really. It’s mostly just vegans.

        Acting like we haven’t been around people before and know exactly how they feel, who still get frustrated because they’re expected to be nice to people they’ve come to realize are willing participants to animal abuse is classic nonvegans.
