As a vegan myself I notice the opposite a lot. Veganism becomes the topic of conversation IRL more because of everyone around me asking questions like "don't you miss bacon" and "how long have you been vegan now?" And "would you ever eat meat again".

And when it's not about veganism specifically they often bring up meat when talking about food they had and then instead of contributing to the conversation, since that feels disingenuous to my ethics and I'm not a fan of lying in general, I'll tell them "sorry I'm vegan".

Also a lot of the stereotypical vegans that end up bringing up veganism on their own all the time is mostly just due to them likely being activists and quite honestly having to deal with the worst of the worst trying to ruin their day every day. And that shit takes it's toll, not to mention directly staring a lot of what makes them physically sick and upset right in front of them day in and day out. Constantly being reminded of what to them is genuinely horrific. That can change a person and make them very jaded and cynical in life. And in that case, tact no longer becomes an issue to them because to them it's a matter of life and death, and they mostly see death and this becomes desperate to make a change, even if it's a little one.

Sorry if this made me look like a stereotypical one, I'm not trying to preach. Just trying to share what it can be like on the other side.

Also they totally would take credit. We would call it "planting the seed". Making you conscious of the choice and hope you come to your own decision on how to and when to make it. ;)

God that's a wall of text, I'm sorry -.-
