As someone that has known many vegans over the years, there are definitely some that make it part of their core personality and make sure everybody knows. Most don’t but some do. Because people are people.
In my work, for years they didn’t knew I’m vegan (granted, i work mostly remotely and go to the office one or two weeks every few months, as its in a different city), but once i mentioned why i didn’t grab x item from the cafeteria menu, and just the lentils, i casually mentioned it.
Now, for some reason, that person that i was with is the one that mention to everyone in almost every conversation that im vegan, almost unprompted, when for some reason somebody is discussing about food.
I know that the coworker hasn’t been a dick and showed interest when making questions and all, but i don’t really understand why it has to announce that Im vegan if i haven’t do it nor pushed my views onto others coworkers
Veganism is a good cause and we can all learn a thing or two about sustainability from them. Stop acting like they’re out here to take your oh-so-precious meat away from you. Eat a vegetable or two so you can get that turd out of your ass.
Veganism isn’t about sustainability. Plant-based diets are less harmful to the environment but eating a plant-based diet because you care about climate change has nothing to do with veganism.
Veganism is a moral philosophy on the treatment of animals. Animals are individuals. Individuals must only be treated as ends, never as means. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence. The animals we create are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children.
It’s funny that you mention most omnis can’t differentiate. Because if you’d shut up about being vegan, there wouldn’t even be a need to differentiate anything.
Never met a vegan who did that. It’s just that most omnis can’t differentiate between systemic criticism and personal insult.
People don’t realize how often they bring up their carnism because it’s an unexamined belief. But vegans notice.

Coworker in random conversation: “Here, have something vegan instead.”

You’ve already stepped into the “I’m vegan btw” by saying something like omni lol
I eat meat and you’re being a twat.

How the hell did you get all of that from my comment? Projecting much?

I‘m an omni myself. I prefer it over „non-vegan“.
It just sounds weird. I guess it’s not wrong, but referring to the “normal” with a term that sounds like you’re referring to an outlier is weird.
the academic term that contrasts with “vegan” is “carnist”
I’ve met many, most simply aren’t aware.
It’s funny that you mention most omnis can’t differentiate. Because if you’d shut up about being vegan, there wouldn’t even be a need to differentiate anything.
If you’d stop making hating vegans your entire personality the rest us normal meat eaters wouldn’t have to clarify how we aren’t one of you.
No idea what you’re talking about, I don’t hate vegans? Just saying some are ruining it for the rest of us and they often don’t even realize.
That doesn’t make any sense.
You are quite literally saying “I, as a vegan, have never met one who did that.”
And you don’t understand how the comic applies to you too, like OP is saying?
cook, don’t 🙊
