    “Hate” is a loaded term. It’s more akin to making fun of your friends. I want the best for my meat eater neighbours.

      Well, I would say it comes across as a little hateful. Certainly not inviting of people who might be open to veganism but aren’t yet vegan.

        When society does certain actions to harm sentient beings it needs to be called out as the world should be a transparent and fair place. When I did bad things in the past my society threw the book at me multiple times without explaining why my actions were harmful, thankfully I learned from my mistakes and decided to do better as everyone can do.

        The vegan memes coming off a little hateful is subjective as I could argue from my position that the meat eater lifestyle is hateful towards the animals and vegans as it requires animal product sacrifices.
