There is a small vocal minority that essentially equates anyone who keeps eating meat regardless of circumstances, preference or nuance, [to killers, murderers, etc]. Honestly a large amount of people would take a vegan option if it tasted the same, had the same texture, was as cheap or cheaper than meat, was as accessible, and didn't require learning a new skill set. There's also the availability when eating out.
Antagonizing people like that is a good way to have them disagree out of spite, and the militant vegans always have a way of inserting themselves into every conversation. I had to block people on lemmy because I just didnt want to deal with that here.
Unfortunately a vegan who is a good person isn't alwayd out there proselytizing at every chance they get in a non intrusive manner, so people rarely if ever see vegans who are reasonable people relative to vegan extremists.
Keyword is small. It’s important not to extrapolate against a populace based on the actions of their extremist or reactionary members.

That's the thing imo, if a vegan
is alwayd out there proselytizing at every chance they get
then they are by default not a good person
even if they do it in a supposed non intrusive manner
and are by default vegan extremists
imo. Proselytizing is in and of itself intrusive by definition imo, like ads.

And businesses would stop burning fossil fuels if renewables had the same portability, same output, were cheaper, available everywhere, and didn't require learning a new skill set. They can still be criticised for doing so, I'm not sure what your point here is?
