maybe read the thread properly before going on a rant?
quote from the OP “No, she was preparing a chicken dish at the time
I missed that post, but read 95% of the rest of the thread.
no one has “abused” vegans in this thread except for below and its kinda warranted given your rants.
Just in 95% of other vegan threads.
you mean omnivores – maybe if you had a proper diet your brain wouldn’t be so fubar’d
Oh look, abusing people for their dietary choices.
And you like the word "rant" but I'm not ranting. After ~30 years of being veggie I'm just so very very bored of this narrative now.
Cougar has it.
Theres a subliminal bias against vegans among most non vegans. Like how many drivers see cyclists- "others".

I did tell you it was coming and why. Had you not been a dick I wouldn't have made the comment.
Some strong Big Hitting in this thread
If someone said they were 95% tee-total, would we be having this same discussion?
So they only spend about eight hours a week drinking? Not much to discuss, really.

He really doesn’t and you’re both coming off as paranoid. The thread was taking the piss out of the woman and her trying to be part of something she clearly isn’t fully invested in. Roughly 95% of the threads participants understood this. Others flew off the handle and it’s pretty amusing to watch.
Thank you. You are correct =with this > [i]The thread was taking the piss out of the woman and her trying to be part of something she clearly isn’t fully invested in. [/i]
I am just a bit miffed that no-one has picked up on the fact I dropped tattoos into the thread.
Surely at least 95% of you must be pro or anti tattoos?

And this is a bit Edinburgh Defence given that the, ahem, meat of the story - that she was preparing a chicken dinner - wasn't mentioned at all in the OP. The purpose of the thread as presented initially was "point and laugh at the stupid vegan."

It's not this thread that's the problem, in isolation yes it would be an overreaction. But it's not in isolation, it's constant, it seems like vegans are the final demographic left to be openly abused without being accused of being non-PC.
Imagine a black man back in the 70s or, less emotive perhaps that ginger kid at school. Do you think you're the first person ever to call him carrot-top? How many years of perpetual teasing from all quarters do you think it'd take before him finally cracking and lamping someone would be considered justifiable behaviour rather than meriting a response of "calm down mate, it was only a joke"?
It's not a joke. "Yes but bacon" wasn't funny 30 years ago and it's sure as shit not funny now, I'm bored to absolute tears with vegan-baiting and I'm not even vegan. Just stop it. Please.
It honestly poking fun at Vegans.
It was poking fun at someone who wanted be a vegan but not follow the vegan rules etc.
It would be like someone claiming to have ginger hair so they can stand out from the rest of the brown haired kids but not actually dying their hair ginger but just a little blonder.

You forgot gammon.
The purpose of the thread as presented initially was “point and laugh at the stupid vegan.”
No it wasn’t. How difficult is this for you to understand? It was to point and laugh at the stupid lady attempting to half arse a lifestyle choice. You’ve chosen to see something that isn’t there and just continue to insist that it is.
Normally you’re a reasonable, intelligent, level headed type and I hope you know by now that I have the utmost respect for you as a poster and a mod. You’re coming across a bit crazy in here though.
Also it’s still fair game to abuse roadies, motorists, daily mail readers and reality show contestants. At the end of the day the OP has outlined what his thread is about, yet you’re still insisting it’s not. He should know he started it. Even without the chicken bit it was pretty bloody obvious. I got it and I’m a barely functioning idiot. Put the shovel down.
Key word there was "initially." If the OP had explained better, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Point taken though, I'll shut up now.
I am 95% certain this thread will now whither away.....
Special mention to Cougar - sorry for causing you offence. Genuinely didn't mean it. It really doesn't bother me what you eat or don't eat. Why should it? It would be like getting angry because a pub has "Children's Meals" as well as adult ones.
Still slightly grumpy no one picked up on the tattoo mention. That normally sparks a flurry of idiocy regardless of what you actually say on the matter.
sorry for causing you offence.
You didn't. We're good. (I'm very difficult to offend.)
I’m very difficult to offend
Bacon.
Shithead.

😂
If only China was 95% vegan and we wouldn't be in this mess.

how do you work that out?
I'd wager either humour or racism.
Not just China. Plenty of other diseases coming from animal farming elsewhere in the world.

Totally agree mate. I didn't mean to single China out. That was wrong of me, I apologise.
Annnnnnnd relax.
That was fun.
And for what its worth I'm a veggie who is also slowly reducing consumption of dairy products. A lot of my mates are vegan and i wouldn't dream of calling myself vegan unless i actually was. 95% sounds like people trying to appropriate something they are not. If traditional meals are "meat and two veg" you are not 66% vegan (forgive the rounding down).

Of course not. The butter I use to make the veggies palatable is another 16% of the total, so 50% vegan. I'm a lot healthier now though because I'm mostly teetotal these days, I used to be a pisshead, but now I only drink when I feel like it.
