For me, it’s like flipping a coin. In 50% of the time, my encounters play out like that - or they would play out like that if I was pushing for further discussion. The other 50% people seem to be genuinely interested and ask questions. However, they mostly want to have a conversation but are not in a mental state where they would want to “understand” what I am saying.
On the other hand, I have some training in discussing vegan topics, so I am slightly prepared to not let discussions derail that often.
No… That’s not how it usually goes.
How can you tell if someone is threatened by the fact that you’re vegan? Don’t worry they’ll tell you.
I don’t know how it goes for you but in my case, if things go to shit, it’s always when I answer why I’m vegan => because I don’t want to hurt animals. From then, I can say whatever I want, it’s too late, I’m forced into a moral superiority contest even though I don’t give a flying fuck about where I stand on the morality ladder.
