Eh, anyone who goes out of their way to shit on other people's dietary preferences is unpleasant in my book.
What if my dietary preference was cannibalism? Then would it be okay to shit on my dietary preference?
Not eating animals isn't a dietary stance, it's an ethical stance.
What's this ethical stance about?
Is it about what you eat?
Is it an ethical stance about what you eat, and therefore a dietary stance?
You really chose the person saying "vegans aren't assholes, it's the preachy people who are the problem" to get preachy at didn't you?
I'm not a vegan, and I'm also not a fan of vegan preaching, but veganism extends beyond diet to include other products like clothes and makeup. So it's not entirely a dietary stance, that's just where it gets the most contention. Most people are mostly vegan outside the dietary sphere, so there's not much fighting to be had there.
Yes, I do know what veganism is. But in this case we're talking about food, and in that sphere veganism is a dietary preference. That it also has other lifestyle implications isn't really relevant to a conversation about food.
