Updated template. Had no idea on who the knucklehead from the original template was.
Fuck that guy in the meme.
Seriously. That shit needs to die already. I really don’t want to see this fascist fuckface all the time.
FYI, OP swapped the image, making your comment appear misleading. Everyone loves Calvin, the little gremlin!
Why?
Just the facts:
Maybe they just find him handsome?

Whenever anyone brings this up, I imagine a vegan sitting at a table with their new friends, refusing to eat any chicken wings, but also not saying why… And then everyone harassing them with a million questions like, “do you not like hot sauce? We can get barbecue”, “are you on a diet?”, “are you allergic?”, etc, etc. Finally, after half an hour of this, they lose it and just as there’s a lull in the music, they scream out, “look, I’m a vegan! I don’t fucking eat meat! Fuck off!”
The whole bar goes quiet, staring, then one of the people at the table reaches for a wing, looks at the vegan, and says, “dude, chill, we get it, you don’t eat meat, blah blah blah. You don’t have to talk about it every 5 minutes! Here’s some bread and butter.”
I have to say, I am yet to encounter a cliche vegan.
Not a single vegan I’ve ever met brought up the topic, unless there was a reason for it. Like the scenario you described.
But I’ve met a whole lot of bros who made fun of vegans for existing and being annoying.
I’ve ran into a few online, but even that’s rare. Agreed that people ranting against this stereotype are far more common than the actual stereotype.
Literally no one will ask you a million questions about arch
That’s why vegan != arch user. If you are vegan, you can not avoid the topic. Arch user could avoid the topic.
Uhhh… I mean no. I think the equivalency is both groups love to talk about something that Makes them feel superior- but actually just annoys everyone around them

I have never once been accosted by or have accosted vegans on their dietary preference
Congratulations, I wasn’t talking about you specifically because I don’t know you specifically.
Your imagination is perpetuating the myth of the vast majority of people caring about an individual’s dietary preferences.
No, I’m reversing the myth OP was perpetuating that vegans talk about being vegans constantly. There is no myth that “the vast majority of people care about an individual’s dietary preferences.” I’m using hyperbole to demonstrate what would happen if in a hypothetical situation where a vegan didn’t mention that they were vegan to explain why they weren’t eating meat. The hyperbole comes from the non-vegans not understanding why someone would not eat meat, forcing the vegan to announce themselves. Suddenly, the vegan, despite all their efforts not to, has perpetuated the myth that vegans constantly talk about vegans. In the hyperbolic situation - being used to demonstrate the inanity of the vegans-always-talk-about-being-vegans myth - the non-vegans represent people who perpetrate that myth.
Thankfully, that’s not you. Sorry if you felt attacked.
Stop using the Steven Crowder meme already. The guy is total trash.
Just as OP.
OP does not use said meme
this guy links to it
Smh.SMH.
(Or possibly OP edited away from that meme and this guy leaves the link. I’m a day late, take your pick. )
I’ve met quite a few vegans and far as I know none of them avoid gluten. I also know someone with celiac disease, who would never even contemplate going vegan when he already has so many dietary restrictions to put up with.
They’re not absolutely mutually exclusive groups, but pretty close to it I think. Slackware users who install everything through Snap are the real gluten-free vegans of the linux world.
Hail Seitan! --> many vegans (including myself) swear on pure gluten :D
And yes, I also know people who also cannot be vegan because of all their dietary restrictions.
I guess the similarity of arch users and vegans lies in the fact that both groups are very much outside the norm. So you often have to distance yourself from the assumed default (windows/apple computer, omnivore diet). And just talking with other people, it comes up often by itself. If someone asks me to fix their windows PC, I have to tell them that I haven’t really used windows for nearly a decade now. And if someone invites me over or to a restaurant, I have to tell them that I’m vegan. But people who are inside the norm often don’t deal very well with outsiders, so they have to invent tropes like the annoying vegan. What is actually annoying them is their own double standard they have to live with (torturing/killing animals and having a large ecological impact vs wanting to be a good human being).
But obviously there are also some people who use arch or are vegan and do it to provoke a reaction, to feel special and morally superior.
I think FreeBSD users are the literal gluten free vegans of the Linux community. That is if you want to consider them part of the community.
They don’t use Linux and they don’t use glibc.
Op neither likes people decided to not kill animals nor people using community driven distributions.
You could have used the original meme. The mindset matches
“Gluten Free Vegans” at that. OP doesn’t dislike animal rights, they just specifically dislike people with a potentially life-threatening allergy standing up for animal rights.
Let’s be honest though, they’ve just written both off as “overly restrictive fad diets followed by people who annoy me by talking about their lifestyles”
OP is the human embodiment of a conservative stand-up comedian, or as Tim Heidecker put it
I’m a celiac with a dairy allergy, but I use Fedora.
…
I miss cheese so much

But what does an Arch using vegan who does cross fit talk about first?
communism
this isn’t true imo. not because it was never the case, but because nowadays arch is so easy to use it’s a perfectly normal thing to do, “i use arch btw” isn’t a shocking statement
the gluten free vegans of the computing world are NixOS users
Arch is/was elitist for the sake of elitism, NixOS genuinely makes managing my systems less of a headache
I use Fedora btw
I thought those were the Nix/Guix users?
Arch btw
Lovely name btw
I honestly don’t get the parallel here… They both annoy you when they talk about their respective “thing”?
