I wasn't calling you an absolute asshole. This was never my I tention. This was more of a general statement.statement.goes for the second part, because some vegans do be like that.

Alright, no harm done. Only the vegans I happen to know are very empathic people who generally care deeply about the wellbeing of animals. Therefore they themselves are hurt quite a bit in the non-vegan world they're living in. Some of them can't even bear to sit at the same table where someone else is eating dead animals that have had a miserable life and death. I started changing my diet due to climate and biodiversity reasons (basically out of a responsibility for future generations), but the more I learn about how poorly our massive livestock is treated, the worse it gets. It's now to the point where this tasty lump of cheese that everyone else is seeing is smeared with blood and tears in my eyes. So I protest when vegans are being portrayed as the bad guys in this day and age.

(Except you've already proved their point in other comments, and even jumped to conclusions because you need to feel better than everyone)

You're not too bad about jumping to conclusions yourself. Perhaps it's time to postpone judgement until you really get to know someone, instead of forming an opinion about someone based on a post or two.
