So a vegan just left the dinner table to sit outside

Yes, but the person I was responding to literally said "veganism is [only] emotionally justified". Which is bullshit. As you just said, it is always logical, and sometimes emotional depending on the person.
Veganism != "meat is murder", although it can include that.

Unless you subbed out the butter for vegetable oil, they're not having any of that pie either.

The fuck, that's so odd. None of my vegan friends care if anybody around them eats meat. I don't know how you can get through life otherwise.
The hatred and passive-aggressiveness in this thread are beyond laughable.
I'm honestly curious about how anyone can NOT see that a vegan diet is morally far superior? Not killing a living thing that can feel pain and trying to not fuck up our planet seems "objectively" better to me and I don't know what's there to argue about.
And I'm saying this as someone who is not vegan - I'm too lazy and too inconsequential for that (right now), but that doesn't mean that I don't recognize that a vegan diet should probably be the way people should enjoy their food in the grand scheme of things.

Uhh, because the family went out of their way to give them a vegan alternative and they were assholes about it? Being around someone who's eating meat isn't going to make the animal any more dead than it already is lol.
Having a morally superior diet doesn't excuse you from being disrespectful and rude.

I make it a point to punch every vegan in the nose as soon as they reveal their dastardly secret to me
Enh, boiled goose said "The problem with veganism is that it is mostly an emotionally justified argument." You misquoted "mostly" to "only".
This will be a great dinner conversation starter when they stay together on vacation.
I took them to mean "the entire argument for veganism is mostly emotional"... but I see what you mean
I'm not convinced it is morally superior. Climate stuff is one thing, but it's not as if plants don't do their utmost to protect themselves from death also.

I wonder if he crushed any insects under his ass when he sat down.
I mean, I didn't read the whole thread here, but obviously if you come into someone's house, refuse the food they specially prepared to meet your idiosyncratic preferences, and insulted the hosts and entire family in the process, you don't get invited back.
Give him one more chance to behave like a civilized person, inform him of the parameters of civil behavior, and if he doesn't boss up and start acting better, start explicitly disinviting him to things. Then the ball's in his court to patch things up.

Serve vegan food to everyone. Problem solved and people don't have to act like idiots (by eating meat).
Is locker room protein code for jizz? If not, it should be.

Should have prepared all of the vegan options with chicken broth or fish sauce and then came outside and told him afterwards.
Sounds like a dick. If he had said he couldn't eat the meal because it was prepared in the same kitchen, etc., he'd still be kind of a dick but at least have a valid reason to leave the table.
TBH I skimmed the OP...did dude actually take the free (and frankly thoughtful) meal outside and eat that shit?

I think even preparing secondary options to meet their diet choices is going above and beyond. Suggesting the host only prepares vegan food and expect everybody to eat it is kind of absurd.

Sometime those little things build up, the fish could just be the breaking point.

For a family meal once in awhile? No, not really absurd at all.

This would be a huge dick move but man, the vegans in this thread are shook over it lol. Some Game of Thrones shit.

i don't care if it's vegans shaming meat-eaters, or vice versa - this is awful behavior. [especially since it was just fish, like holy hell calm down]
what a dick.
counter-point - butthurt / sensitive meat-eaters are the worst.
actual point - anybody who shames another person for their nutritional choices is a dick.
i fucking hate this "vegans are the worst" shit from meat-eaters - although i see where it comes from [all the holier than thou vegan shits].

Thinking about it again I'd have made a bacon sandwich and followed them out to the garden with it, maybe its dickish but its less dickish than they were
Plants have "code" in their DNA for survival just as much as pain is a survival technique. They all make an effort to survive. I don't believe plants grow and "live" to be eaten at their own volition any more than animals do.
--
meat-eaters sounds coded
Family meals typically happen during holidays, so you're basically saying it's not absurd to relegate all common holiday meals to vegan only. No more turkey, no more egg-nogg, no more ham, no more gravy, etc etc.
Thats....pretty absurd imo.
