It's steven crowder, he's a sexist, homophobic, transphobic content creator.

Whenever anyone brings this up, I imagine a vegan sitting at a table with their new friends, refusing to eat any chicken wings, but also not saying why... And then everyone harassing them with a million questions like, "do you not like hot sauce? We can get barbecue", "are you on a diet?", "are you allergic?", etc, etc. Finally, after half an hour of this, they lose it and just as there's a lull in the music, they scream out, "look, I'm a vegan! I don't fucking eat meat! Fuck off!"

The whole bar goes quiet, staring, then one of the people at the table reaches for a wing, looks at the vegan, and says, "dude, chill, we get it, you don't eat meat, blah blah blah. You don't have to talk about it every 5 minutes! Here's some bread and butter."

I have to say, I am yet to encounter a cliche vegan.

Not a single vegan I've ever met brought up the topic, unless there was a reason for it. Like the scenario you described.

But I've met a whole lot of bros who made fun of vegans for existing and being annoying.

Literally no one will ask you a million questions about arch

[–] mogoh@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

That's why vegan != arch user. If you are vegan, you can not avoid the topic. Arch user could avoid the topic.

Man, imagine being stuck not only in a distro-wars mindset, but also thinking vegans are some kind of problem. Not ever has any of my countless vegan friends started to talk about how great being a vegan is. Strangely this phenomenon seems to be limited to social media and I couldn't care less about that

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

To the contrary. It's normally non-vegans making a big deal about it when they find out, asking the same questions, and attempting to debate.

You do realize that people with celiac disease aren't just choosing to not eat gluten right?

[–] Jesus_666@feddit.de 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

True, but those are not the people the men's is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can't do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it's trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).

[–] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (7 children)

a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition

I was actually surprised by how little effort it really took? Like replace butter with margarine, slave milk with oatmilk and, unless you're baking, eggs aren't actually that important.

The rest is just choosing different meals. Roasted vegetables, fried rice, bulgur, beans etc. instead of steak or sausages or what have you. Get some starchy stuff, some veggy stuff, some proteiny stuff = heathy meal. Most nonvegans live less healthy than that. Then there really is only the B12 debate left, and if you want to err on the safe side just take some supplements. They're really cheap.

Sure, it wasn't 0 effort, but it wasn't exactly rocket science either. Just kind of look at what you're eating, throw out the non-vegan stuff and go from there. If you have any qualms about the exploitation of beings with a consciousness, who can feel the pain and suffering when their kids are killed just give it a try.

The people being mocked are the ones who have made "gluten free" trendy and that labelling far less reliable for folks with celiac.

I've met quite a few vegans and far as I know none of them avoid gluten. I also know someone with celiac disease, who would never even contemplate going vegan when he already has so many dietary restrictions to put up with.

They're not absolutely mutually exclusive groups, but pretty close to it I think. Slackware users who install everything through Snap are the real gluten-free vegans of the linux world.

[–] flora_explora@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

Hail Seitan! --> many vegans (including myself) swear on pure gluten :D

And yes, I also know people who also cannot be vegan because of all their dietary restrictions.

I guess the similarity of arch users and vegans lies in the fact that both groups are very much outside the norm. So you often have to distance yourself from the assumed default (windows/apple computer, omnivore diet). And just talking with other people, it comes up often by itself. If someone asks me to fix their windows PC, I have to tell them that I haven't really used windows for nearly a decade now. And if someone invites me over or to a restaurant, I have to tell them that I'm vegan. But people who are inside the norm often don't deal very well with outsiders, so they have to invent tropes like the annoying vegan. What is actually annoying them is their own double standard they have to live with (torturing/killing animals and having a large ecological impact vs wanting to be a good human being).

But obviously there are also some people who use arch or are vegan and do it to provoke a reaction, to feel special and morally superior.

[–] ghewl@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I'm a vegan arch user. Not gluten-free. That's for gentoo.

I think FreeBSD users are the literal gluten free vegans of the Linux community. That is if you want to consider them part of the community.

They don't use Linux and they don't use glibc.

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I feel like with this analogy that would be like saying vegans are part of the meat community which I would assume most people would disagree with.

I'm a celiac with a dairy allergy, but I use Fedora.

...

I miss cheese so much

[–] reimufumo@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

this isn't true imo. not because it was never the case, but because nowadays arch is so easy to use it's a perfectly normal thing to do, "i use arch btw" isn't a shocking statement

the gluten free vegans of the computing world are NixOS users

Dude every distro has users that won't shut the fuck up about it.

[–] sebsch@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Op neither likes people decided to not kill animals nor people using community driven distributions.

You could have used the original meme. The mindset matches

Isn't this like complaining about what type of toilet paper somebody uses? Who gives a shit?

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Those who want to spread the good news about cold water spraying on your dirty rosebud would give a shit. At least they would like to tell you about the life changing bidet.
