    I was accused of using a straw man fallacy just last week on reddit because I said someone could go a single meal without eating animal protein and be perfectly fine.

    I’m not keen on all the rhetorical fallacies that exist but simply retorting to an argument by screeching “XYZ FALLACY” is no way to live your life. And even if you successfully recognize that someone uses a fallacy, so what? That doesn’t win an argument. Like, tell me why someone wouldn’t be able to survive a meal without animal protein ffs.

        It’s the same energy as the reddit users that go all the way to /r/vegan just to post counterarguments on like any post or say shit like “steak tastes good” in order to own the vegoons. Then they immediately throw a hissy fit about vegans shoving their beliefs down their throat.

        Like, I’m still a baby vegan or whatever, but even in the beforetimes, I saw a substantially greater number of non-vegans being aggressive towards vegans than the other way around. Like, we get it Chad, bacon is amazing, and you need cow titty juice because protein is super important to you and there is no other way you could get an adequate amount.

        Sorry about the mini rant lol.

            I can agree they seem more online.

            When I originally went vegetarian before going full vegan I got shitty comments from 2 if the people I told but that’s anecdotal.
