Overreacting/hyperbole in regards to everything in life is just bad.
Whether it is vegans, political correctness, feminism, activism of any kind etc.
IMO the guy walking away from the table is an incredibly rude and pathetic behaviour.
I dont mind vegans, i respect their choice, but there has to be a compromise from both me and them to actually have that respect for each other.
If a guy walked away from a dinner table I made for them (including food of their choice), just because there is meat on the table for others, I would never ever invite them again. Now I get this is family situation for you, but fuck this pretentious bullshit.
Like I said, everything is good in logical doses. When you go overboard with it as if you are on some crusade or something, thats when you need to be taught a lesson.
So continue being massive judgmental assholes towards people who just want a better world with less cruelty.
textbook example of contradicting yourself
