A simple infographic with cute white text on a pale pink background which reads:

This is basically the plot of The Vegetarian by Han Kang
level 11: wipes out all animal life to protect animals from ever doing harm to other animals
Vegan antinatalist utilitarianism ftw
Look at them stupid vegans, trying to not harm animals and our planet 😂

I’m not vegan, but vegans are right, even if you find them annoying. The meat and & dairy industry is causing unimaginable suffering to millions of animals every day, while wasting the limited resources of our planet. The world would be a much better place if we consumed less or no animal products.
I’ve been vegan for 9 years lol
I should really read post titles
We should do one for regular diets where it goes from ignorantly contributing to animal suffering to torturing them yourself and then diabetes and colon cancer.
No no, that would hurt the feelings of the man-children that get triggered by vegans existing. They’re too sensitive, they can’t take it, it would be an act of cruelty towards animals that have no personal agency, which we all know is something vegans can’t condone.
How dare some people make an obviously correct moral decision that highlights my own inadequacies?
Seriously though, I’m not even slightly vegan. I’m just also not a total fucking moron.
Same boat. I’m not vegan, and I’ll probably never be. I could genuinely see myself going lacto ovo, but honestly, that wouldn’t be so hard for me if I only cook for myself. But, like, it is clearly the correct moral decision, and anyone arguing that is either misinformed or lying to themselves
Lvl 1* - No animal products in diet or clothing

Huh?
If you’re not talking nicely to the plants, you’re not a vegan in spirit.
This is actually the case, according to some vegan YouTuber. From what I understand (and according to these people) veganism is about harm reduction, so they shouldn’t consume anything produced by exploitation or animal (including human) suffering.
Not consuming animal product should be technically “plant-based” or “vegan diet”.
I do applaud their effort, and feel they are certainly stepping towards the right direction, but it would probably take a long time for society to accept this definition.
On the other hand, I feel it is fine to have different definitions for the same word. I think even among the vegan community, there must be many definitions of “animal suffering”. I feel it is okay as long as we are doing the best we can do.
Yeah, I applaud the effort of people trying to improve themselves, but saying something you don’t approve of doesn’t count as vegan just sounds like gatekeeping.
Veganism? Fantastic.
Vegans? Mostly assholes.
Downvote if you agree.
And I bet at none of these levels is it wrong to kill mosquitos.
At what level do they talk incessantly about their veganism?
“I’m going to buy vegan ice cream”
“We get it, you’re vegan”
—-
“I’m going to buy ice cream”
“I thought you were vegan?”
Level 0
Zero?
Yeah, that’s the level when you keep telling people “I’m really thinking about going vegan. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do it”
By level 5 you gotta be immortal to pass.
