Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    Yeah no reason to go to the moon if we can’t visit other planets yet. That’s the kind of logic you are arguing.
    The vegan argument is to not contribute to animal suffering, you can’t control what other people do.
    And avoiding suffering doesn’t help because there will still be suffering is about as stupid as it gets.
