    I’m not a vegan but it is very annoying how much I still see vegan hate on lemmy. For a place that’s generally pretty mature, it’s lame to see how many people get mad at the thought of other people not wanting to eat dead animals.

      Lemmy is filled with people who are newly radicalized or generally progressive, but haven’t really confronted their internal biases yet.

        That’s a fair point. I’m sure most of the vegan haters will come around eventually assuming they have empathy as a core part of who they are.

          Usually confronting your biases takes a catalyst, you don’t just do true passive introspection without prompting.
