No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

People don't like to be made to feel uncomfortable (via knowledge) about something that they enjoy
People don’t like to be made to feel uncomfortable (via preaching) about something they enjoy.
Fixed that for you.
Hate is a strong word, but as a meatatarian, passionate vegans don’t make me feel uncomfortable “with knowledge,”but some can be incredibly annoying with the way they go about voicing their opinions. It’s not because of the “truth hurts” or “truth is uncomfortable” angle that you’re smugly going for, but because some are like the Karens and SJW’s of the diet world.
And before I’m accused of generalizing vegans, note I said SOME. I also feel the same way about anyone else who is overly-passionate to the point of “my way or the highway.” Like some who are on keto. Yikes.
But this whole thread is about the general dislike of vegans and veganism. So you didn't "correct" them, because you narrowed it down to only talking about people who are too preachy.
I would suggest that the entire premise of this post is invalid then, as it begs the question. First, prove to me that there is a general dislike of all vegans/veganism. I'd be willing to bet it's a LOT more "dislike of preachy/smug vegans."
I agree. Although, I also agree with the anecdote by the op that anytime vegans are mentioned, everyone here seems to have to bring up how annoying and preachy some are.
It's not like everytime a woman is mentioned, people feel compelled to point out how some of them are Karen's.
It's like when conservatives bring up how flamboyant some gays are when talking about homosexuals. It just reeks of "i'm okay with them, as long as I am not forced to think of them."
I don't know who these smug preachy people are that you're talking about. I lived for years in cities like San Francisco as a meat eater and I've never met one who was like this. I ate at vegan restaurants sometimes because vegan food is dank, and I ate cheeseburgers with vegan people. I dated a vegan person and ate chicken. I have no idea what you're talking about.
*(in general)
That moral high ground you're claiming looks to me like just another niche for life to exist. ..but you're not going to stop predation, carnivorous or omnivorous. That you think it's a good idea to do so is just eye-rollingly banal.
