Never met a vegan who did that. It’s just that most omnis can’t differentiate between systemic criticism and personal insult.
How do you know someones a carnist? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
Yeah I haven't seen many vegan memes around here but the carnism passes without question.
In my work, for years they didn't knew I'm vegan (granted, i work mostly remotely and go to the office one or two weeks every few months, as its in a different city), but once i mentioned why i didn't grab x item from the cafeteria menu, and just the lentils, i casually mentioned it.
Now, for some reason, that person that i was with is the one that mention to everyone in almost every conversation that im vegan, almost unprompted, when for some reason somebody is discussing about food.
I know that the coworker hasn't been a dick and showed interest when making questions and all, but i don't really understand why it has to announce that Im vegan if i haven't do it nor pushed my views onto others coworkers
There is very little personal to talk about that gets organically brought up in the workplace, I've found. Maybe they are trying to include you more or latching on to something that is genuinely interesting instead of the boring normal shit like talking about the weather, sports, or more work.
As someone that has known many vegans over the years, there are definitely some that make it part of their core personality and make sure everybody knows. Most don't but some do. Because people are people.
When you phrase systemic criticisms as personal insults, I can see why they might get the two confused...
