A scathing indictment of nonvegans, who won’t be vegan, because they’re scared of being treated like vegans are treated by nonvegans …

I thought this video was fascinating AND disturbing, and while vegans often minimize the abuses piled on them from non/antivegans, because it’s nothing like the abuses animals are forced to endure, I decided to share Emily’s video of WHY so many nonvegans absolutely loathe vegans, because it IS important and should be addressed.

As a vegan who has been active on social media, I, and manymanymany other vegans, have been on the vocal receiving end of antivegans: the scorn, disdain, and verbal abuses would not be tolerated if leveled at any other social justice community, but since so many people, as Emily proves with facts and studies, HATE vegans, few people are actually socially-condemned for their absolutely atrocious behaviour.

Vegans have been called “only marginally better than pedophiles” (imagine reading that, not only as vegans but also as victims of child abuse), worthless, should not exist, should be dead, should not have rights, are ugly/stupid/mentally ill/cult followers/liars, and on and on and on. I have personally seen all of these “unsolicited” claims: unsolicited meaning in response to vegan posts and threads where NO nonvegans were tagged or “invited”, just legitimate, factual statements exposing the anag death industry, where nonvegans felt so threatened, they piled on with their absolutely appalling, juvenile, and hateful behaviour/comments met with zero social accountability.

I find it particularly disturbing when people who identify as “human rights activists” treat vegan humans like garbage. Imagine pretending you care about human rights while dismissing the rights of millions because you can’t handle that vegans expose the horrific requirements of those who you eat.

And do remember, in Great Britain, (ethical) vegans are protected under the Equality Act of 2010. (Veganism is inherently “ethical” but the distinction is due in part to those who are NOT vegan by definition but – inaccurately – consider themselves vegan, for example, while only following a plant-based diet). As indicated in the article, “…there are veganphobes out there who can cross the line from unlawful discrimination into hate crime, and this is a serious problem. In 2020, The Times reported that, in the previous five years, the British police recorded a total of 172 crimes where vegans were the victims because of their veganism.”

And by the way, vegans ARE morally superior to nonvegans with respect to animals, this isn’t even a point worth debating, and if you’re a (nonvegan)vegan-apologist, stop spending gobs of time on this “issue” that doesn’t benefit animals at all: vegans aren’t vegan because they believe that veganism and nonveganism are morally “equivalent”, just own it and move on: focus on the actual animal victims and stop disruptively (and nonvegan’ly, because people who do this are normalizing nonvegan violence, giving approval to animal abuse) apologizing for “extreme/militant/violent” vegan behaviour, when what is ACTUALLY extreme, militant, and violent, is the bloody, unethical, and malicious cruelties and killings relentlessly inflicted on animals.

The Science of Why People Hate Vegans

By Emily Moran Barwick

Yes, people actually hate vegans enough that scientists are researching why. And the reasons may not be what you expect! In this video, we break down the findings of some of these studies. And I offer my personal thesis: if you bristle at the mention of veganism or even outright hate vegans, you…may just be a good person. We explore the social psychology of anti-vegan bias, the stereotyping & stigmatization of vegans, the self-righteousness of vegans, & what all of it has to do with the “meat paradox.” Plus, I share a surprising thread I found throughout the research: the polarization between vegans & non-vegans is fueled more by what we have in common than by our differences.

This article and video review the growing scientific field of study into why people tend to view vegans so negatively. Interestingly, the underlying drivers of anti-vegan attitudes may point more to promising commonalities than irreconcilable differences. As we look through the scientific literature, we explore such areas as:

• The widespread existence of anti-vegan bias
• The threat vegans pose to our identity, sense of self, and way of life
• That animosity towards vegans can actually be a sign that we share the same values and beliefs
• How vegans think they’re better than everyone (and how we may actually agree with them)
• How we tend to assume we’re being judged by one another (and defensively judge each other)
• That the more we agree with each other, the more we can resent one another
• How omnivores can empathize with the experience of vegans facing social stigma
• And, most importantly, the lessons we can all learn from this

Those who malign the compassionate and kind
Are devoid of a heart
