Input: So I’m vegan (yeah, yeah, but it’s relevant). My roommate is on disability (fixed income since she cannot work). She’s bad at managing money so she always runs out in a week, but that’s besides the point. She was talking about wanting to make some chicken so she asked me if I could go pick her up some chicken and I said no. She then told me she’d pay me come payday (end of the month - this happened earlier this week). Again, I still said no. She knows I’m vegan so hi, why would I? She then got mad at me and told me that it’s not like I’m spending my own money as if the issue is the fact that I would have to spend $8 of my own money. It’s about about the money lol

And all of my other roommates are omnivore and chimed in telling me I’m being selfish and “pushing” my lifestyle onto others and that if I’m getting repaid, it’s not really my money buying that chicken (that’s not how economics works but ok). And even though whenever I’m downstairs eating, my roommates mock what I eat (“ew what is that? Where’s the protein? Ha ha, are you protein deficient? Have some of this steak” as I’m eating a meal with 30g of protein), but I’m pushy? Sure, Jan.

Veganism isn’t a diet. It’s a philosophical guideline. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for me to not want to contribute to the exploitation and cruelty of living beings. This occurs often too. she’ll ask me to pick up other animal products like ~~animal secretions~~ milk or sour cream and I’ll offer to buy the non-~~cruelty~~dairy version and I ever offer to pay the difference out of pocket. But god forbid I promote a cruelty-free way of life.

tl;dr: roommate wanted me to buy her dead animals, I said no on the grounds of being vegan so now it means I’m a preachy vegan lol
