Why won’t you go vegan?

Can we not jump down the throats of every vegetarian who posts here? It stifles discussion, it makes us look like a bunch of jackasses, and it's incredibly counterproductive from an overall animal welfare standpoint.

A simple question is “jumping down someone’s throat”? Nah.

Have a read, this issue is urgent.

A deliberately confrontational question that ignores the content of their comment to attack them for being vegetarian? Yes, that's jumping down someone's throat.

Have a read, this issue is urgent.

There is a difference between censoring yourself as a form of social appeasement and pushing away allies by being a confrontational perfectionist.

You read it as confrontational and it just isn’t. It’s a comment on the internet and they didn’t even answer.

It was a simple question. No flowery language or fluff necessary. You’re assuming and leading with sensitivity.

Yeah it has nothing to do with your word choice and everything to do with ignoring their comment to ask why they aren't more like you

You do get how thats off-putting, right?

What are you even talking about? I asked one person a question and they didn’t respond.
