So here’s the thing: People don’t care if someone’s a Vegan. Unless they’re inviting someone over to eat dinner, they don’t care if their guests are Vegans, or if they eat kosher, or if they’re lactose-intolerant.
This, as we all know, does not stop Vegans from telling everyone they’re Vegans.
Probably not all Vegans; no doubt many Vegans don’t see any need to announce it, just as the rest of us don’t see any need to announce that we’re not Vegan.
But there are more than enough pushy, sanctimonious Vegan assholes to give them all a bad name.
There’s only one thing that can make this worse: Leftists. An awful lot of leftists are pushy, sanctimonious assholes, who are also so narcissistic and conceited they think the rest of the world waits with bated breath for every jewel of wisdom that falls from their lips.
And that’s why the “Injured by a Vegan?” ad campaign taking place in Los Angeles is so hilarious. Accompanied by their website, HateVegans.com, the ads spoof injury attorney ads. A quick perusal of the website reveals it’s actually pro-Vegan info from Eat Differently, produced by folks self-aware enough to know Vegans generate a lot of ire, and smart enough to poke fun at themselves, tongue in cheek, while they share info about Veganism.
That’s admirable and funny, but not downright hilarious. Here’s why it’s hilarious:
The article feels the need to reassure its readers that no, “the ad is not actually an earnest call for aggrieved meat-eaters to stage some sort of class-action lawsuit against the general idea of veganism.”
That’s right: Don’t worry, leftist Vegans; this is all a joke. No one really wants to harm you over your diet. This isn’t about you at all. Thumbs up for being convinced you’re the center of the universe.
