I think it’s because many Vegans perceive Vegetarians as going half the way and then stopping dead.
From a vegan perspective meat eaters are doing something morally wrong. But many have grown up that way and are conditioned into normalizing meat consumption. Many haven’t questioned it ever, or reflexively defend it, because it is perceived as normal.
Vegetarians on the other hand seem to understand the problem of animals suffering. Many of them made an ethical decision not to eat meat… and then continue to contribute to animal suffering by consuming other animal products. Understanding that murder is bad and then deciding to commit it just a bit less directly, is a position many Vegans take as deeply harmful.
Personally i am grateful for every single animal saved. Reducing meat or going vegetarian are steps in a direcion i see as good and positive. In my ideal world we would all be Vegans, but i am grateful for every little step in that direction.
Even just reducing our global meat consumption would make me so happy. Let it’s insane to me that there is what amounts to my eyes as a wall of tortured flesh in every grocery store, and my tofus and veggie dogs take up like half of two shelves next to the fresh vegetables.
I can’t wrap my head around eating meat every day, but there are people who eat meat at every meal.
Not quite. Vegans don’t eat any animal products of any kind. Vegetarians don’t eat products that necessitate killing an animal to produce, but allow others. Note that these other products are usually from animals that will be killed for food, and that the animals that won’t be murdered still also suffer.
Do you really expect anything less from an anonymous public message board? It’s practically a Law of the Internet that invoking any version of the words “vegan” or “vegetarian” is bound to spark outrage from one side or the other.
I came here for people’s group chat incidents
What I actually got is a flame war against vegans and a flame war against non vegans and they both hate vegetarians
Please reply with your group chat incidents
Got drunk and sent a picture of my dick wrapped in a fur blanket with a face drawn on it and the caption “winter is cumming”
Was pretty funny all in all, was an incredibly rowdy group chat
/r/cospenis if this was reddit.
I can’t remember where it was from or if it was just one of the degens in the chat but I remember the phrase “cockstume party” being thrown around.
The only incidents we have is my mother’s husband keeps making new group chats. All the same people, somehow new groups.
All the same content though, just us sharing cat photos.
Vegans hate vegetarians? But they are vegetarians.
Disclosure: Am Vegan. Don’t hate vegetarians.

Vegetarians don’t eat meat. Hence vegans are vegetarian.
Ovo-lacto-vegetarians allow eggs and milk. This is the common type of vegetarian in the West.
Lacto-vegetarians allow milk, but not eggs. This is the common type of vegetarian in India.
