"Name one cow you're friends with" is such as asshole response to an industry that sometimes treats animals worse than Nazi concentration camps.

I've been seeing vegan defenders get upvoted in recent time on lemmy, did something change? I remember vegans getting quite negative feedback a few months ago only

The way you ask this makes me think you are a troll that wants to pick a fight.

Just in case you are not a troll: "vegan defenders" and "vegans" are no homogenous groups. There are a lot of different individuals that are vegan. And they do this for a bunch of different reasons.

Also your "vegan defenders": Defending against what? This implies that there are people who think veganism should be eradicated. This would be an extremly stupid opinion to have. You don't have to be vegan yourself but at least let other people live their life.

I honestly was being a bit of an ass for no reason, I do apologise. I'm a vegan myself, but only converted a few months ago. I'm just now depressed when I see how negatively people comment on anything vegan online, and spread misinfo frequently. Also I should've said "vegan-ism defenders"

People get paid a salary by meat/dairy industries to go online and astroturf against veganism. Its just part of being vegan online

I don't know about online, but in my day to day life most people who talk shit about vegans are exactly the sort of people you'd imagine; edgelords who think masculinity is congruent with being a dick.
