there is also a political component to it, muh meat is masculine and based and right wing and vegans are all faggy weak leftist s*ys. they look at extreme examples on youtube to confirm their bias. I don't really like leftoids but it's clear that anti-veganism is largely fueled by an unironic masculinity crisis of a combination of e-dweebs, dudebros, and hicks who all think the gays vegans want to make everybody into stick people who eat bugs (even though bugs are not vegan lel).
