There is a solution.

Seriously. That shit needs to die already. I really don't want to see this fascist fuckface all the time.

FYI, OP swapped the image, making your comment appear misleading. Everyone loves Calvin, the little gremlin!

This is excellent

I have to say, I am yet to encounter a cliche vegan.

Not a single vegan I've ever met brought up the topic, unless there was a reason for it. Like the scenario you described.

But I've met a whole lot of bros who made fun of vegans for existing and being annoying.

"You're vegan? No sweat! How about a bean and cheese burrito?"

Literally no one will ask you a million questions about arch

Yep, I don't eat meat and I don't recall the last time I actually told someone that unprompted in real life. More likely it's one of my friends or family that says it for me, like I can't eat around the bacon that the chef accidentally put on my plate

Every vegan that irritated me constantly brought it up....the folks who just did their thing got me curious as to why and educated me on some delicious food despite me not being vegan/vegetarian.

I will say I think Indian food is the best vegetarian food to the point that it's just good, you're not even worried about meat.

To the contrary. It's normally non-vegans making a big deal about it when they find out, asking the same questions, and attempting to debate.

True, but those are not the people the men's is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can't do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it's trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).

The people being mocked are the ones who have made "gluten free" trendy and that labelling far less reliable for folks with celiac.

Hail Seitan! --> many vegans (including myself) swear on pure gluten :D

And yes, I also know people who also cannot be vegan because of all their dietary restrictions.

I guess the similarity of arch users and vegans lies in the fact that both groups are very much outside the norm. So you often have to distance yourself from the assumed default (windows/apple computer, omnivore diet). And just talking with other people, it comes up often by itself. If someone asks me to fix their windows PC, I have to tell them that I haven't really used windows for nearly a decade now. And if someone invites me over or to a restaurant, I have to tell them that I'm vegan. But people who are inside the norm often don't deal very well with outsiders, so they have to invent tropes like the annoying vegan. What is actually annoying them is their own double standard they have to live with (torturing/killing animals and having a large ecological impact vs wanting to be a good human being).

But obviously there are also some people who use arch or are vegan and do it to provoke a reaction, to feel special and morally superior.

Those who want to spread the good news about cold water spraying on your dirty rosebud would give a shit. At least they would like to tell you about the life changing bidet.
