I came here for people's group chat incidents
What I actually got is a flame war against vegans and a flame war against non vegans and they both hate vegetarians
Please reply with your group chat incidents
-
The only incidents we have is my mother's husband keeps making new group chats. All the same people, somehow new groups.
All the same content though, just us sharing cat photos.
-
My dad somehow manages to get email addresses into group MMS chats, and each email response creates a new thread

Do you really expect anything less from an anonymous public message board? It's practically a Law of the Internet that invoking any version of the words "vegan" or "vegetarian" is bound to spark outrage from one side or the other.
-
Vegans hate vegetarians? But they are vegetarians.
-
Disclosure: Am Vegan. Don't hate vegetarians.
I think it's because many Vegans perceive Vegetarians as going half the way and then stopping dead.
From a vegan perspective meat eaters are doing something morally wrong. But many have grown up that way and are conditioned into normalizing meat consumption. Many haven't questioned it ever, or reflexively defend it, because it is perceived as normal.
Vegetarians on the other hand seem to understand the problem of animals suffering. Many of them made an ethical decision not to eat meat... and then continue to contribute to animal suffering by consuming other animal products. Understanding that murder is bad and then deciding to commit it just a bit less directly, is a position many Vegans take as deeply harmful.
Personally i am grateful for every single animal saved. Reducing meat or going vegetarian are steps in a direcion i see as good and positive. In my ideal world we would all be Vegans, but i am grateful for every little step in that direction.

Holly seeing the comments on this post is crazy and some people would do good to touch some grass.
-
Yep. Yet another useless flame war over dietary preferences while missing the original joke.
-
Ikr.
It's a meme... Laugh. Or don't?
-
What if I laugh and don't?
-

This posts comment section is literally
Just because you couldnt live without Meat dosent mean you cant respect some ones choice to not eat it, change my mind.

Just got one going on now.
An extended family group chat that was 99% baby photos until one person posted photos of their kids at a protest this weekend and then the chuddy trad-wife sov-cits in the family threw a fit.
They all left the chat and said they'll only be reachable on Facebook.
Oh darn. All the shucks.
-
Now that is what i call an efficient way to filter out the trash from your group chat.

Rich high school friend shared a newspaper clipping with us (in the high school group) in which he was featured. Apparently he had a car accident with a girl in the seat next to him, and had suffered mentally for it over the guilt of crippling the girl. The initial reaction of the group was "ohh, so sorry you had to go through that".
Later, once it sunk in that a) why was this featured in the newspaper at all, and b) his family is very rich, I think we all came to the understanding that he had basically crippled a girl with his reckless driving, could not fix the problem with money, and so in order to help mitigate against a future court case or to discredit the girl, his family paid for a sob piece in the press.
He was your typical rich kid: fast car, no consequences, if someone comes up with a joke he will steal it and claim it as his own. Shit eating grin, until you have nothing you can offer him so he goes and talks to someone else.
-
Incidents in my groupchats usually end up with somebody arrested tbh...
-
You can't just say that and drop the mic! Tell us what happened!
-
-
Honestly that seems pretty thoughtful of them. Most people I know would give zero shits and just post all that on a chat with vegans and vegetarians. Some of them going out of their way to post them on that chat specifically.
-
Gone vegetarian 5 years ago just before the pandemic hit. I've never had any real issues so far and my friend group has mostly switched to vegetarian meals when I'm present. Not because anyone forced them, but because it's a lot easier and there's so much awesome vegetarian food nowadays.
And when we barbecue, everyone brings their own stuff anyway. So that's a non issue as well (I don't care about cross contamination at all)
I don't think I could go full vegan, but in all honesty, I save enough money from not buying meat that I can buy all of my milk and cheese organic and that got rid of pretty much every last one of my moral qualms.
-
Not a vegan, but organic is really a marketing term more than anything, at least in the US. Organic farming isn't necessarily a more environmentally safe alternative to normal farming, especially since "organic" pesticides tend to also cause local environmental damage.
-
If you became a vegetarian for ethical reasons, then buying organic milk doesn't solve any of the moral qualms connected to the dairy industry. The cow still gets (forcefully) impregnated, her calf still gets taken from her shortly after birth and both of them get killed once they are no longer economically viable.
-
I became a vegetarian for environmental reasons and I do think all animals deserve a dignified existance, but my criteria for that is obviously very different from yours.
Still though, it never ceases to amuse me how that forceful impregnation BS is still floating around with people who've never encountered a live animal in their entire life. How about you try getting a male and female pet and do a little study on how small the intervals in between litters really are.

I would not be surprised if my old coworker-friends started a separate group chat without me after the nth, "Maybe you should come to one of these protests" and "Please at least read the wikipedia summary on this historical topic before you start going off about it" message from me.
They're fine people but they're also kind of very... apolitical.
-
There's a time and a place?
-
-
That's the least problematic result. "We all love meaty food and we know you don't so we didn't invite you to the Delicious Meat Showcase.'
-
Ahhh the WhatsApp Paradox
For every chat group you're in, there is a separate group that exists without you in it
-
That's not a paradox, that's the group chat power set theorem
-
-
aaand that's why I'm in no group chat. Not even in the family group chat. They kept adding me and I kept leaving immediately. Everybody got angry with me. A couple of months ago something hapened and the grouo is over. I don't know what happened because I was not there. Nobody is angry with me and I'm not angry with anyone. say NO to group chats
-
I'm the admin of our group chat and I have a "no social media shares or political talks" or muted.
family photos and announcements only
-
-
My friend had someone in our discord, he was the only one who was on in the video chat, the dude popped in and said, "you wanna see a murder"
"No?"
Then he just vigorously started cutting himself with a knife. He was ultimately kicked out because of his drug problem
-
-
Looks like you're doing a bit of venting here but...
Wut
-
Yeah, sorry about that. Honestly, the whole situation is stupid and not worth the tax it's putting on me.

I use to BFF with someone. I heleped them secure a new position. For my help, I was brought on as a consultant. I did a fantastic job as a consultant. I was everyone's buddy and everyone loved me.
I was part of high level meetings and decisions.
Then I found out some of my so called "friends" had a secret Signal chat. They even invited some random person! I cried for days.
-
Am I supposed to be in a group chat? Well, shit. Now I also want to know the incident that excluded me from every group chat.
-
I'd share but the court case is still pending.
-
I would be vegan if all the food i like wouldn't have an animal product in it, also i don't really feel enough empathy toward animals so i don't have that emotional push :(
I hate that the industry of meat do bad things and polute but also i don't want to stop eating 80% of the things i like, i try to eat meat bought from local stores, also, cheer to all vegans that did the "transition"
-
Hey at least you're being honest, not telling us how much you love animals while you're eating them. Do you like impossible burgers?
-
I never tried one because where i live they don't sell many vegan alternatives to meat, if i get the hands on one i will try it! Maybe it can be a good replacement? I mean, if it taste the same who care.
-
-
-
i probably couldnt live Vegan, or even vegetarian. like i eat meat with almost every meal.
-
I’ve been vegan now for seven years and I literally just did it because I got tired of fucking with animals. I went from full-on carnivore to 100% vegan in a week; compared to quitting nicotine or even caffeine (easy) becoming vegan was by far the easiest life change I’ve ever made.
(Honestly I don’t know why anyone would consider it hard: you just stop eating animal products.)
-
Becoming vegan was very easy for me. It's essentially a matter of the straw breaking the camels back.
Once I got to the point of "yeah, this is fucked, I don't want to be part of this horror show anymore" I simply didn't want to eat meat.
-
Congrats and respect!
-
I've been vegan for four years and honestly, while it was practically not difficult for me, there was a pretty big mental hurdle I had to get over. It sounds silly in retrospect, but I literally mourned foods that I thought I'd never be able to eat. Turns out I still eat all the foods I like, just with small adjustments to make them vegan. So glad I switched. Best decision I ever made.
-
Honestly I don’t know why anyone would consider it hard: you just stop eating animal products.
Maybe you have a different definition of vegan. Most say “vegan” means no animal products at all. It requires a ton of research to avoid constant minefields, because animal products can be in everything. Dyes, scents, preservatives, flavors, polishes, powders, etc… Even fresh fruit can be non-vegan, because sellers will polish their fruit with beeswax or shellac to make it more shiny, and give it a better shelf life.
-
I gradually ate less and less meat over 5 years. In the beginning I was just trying to reduce my ecological impact so I cut out beef and pigs first. Perfection is the enemy of the good; if the reader is daunted, then I suggest you just commit to one little thing at a time.
-
see thats the problem most of the things that i like to eat are animal products. some of them have like 1 or 2 vegan alternatives in the stores, most of them, like kebab dont (within 30 minutes of my home)
like i understand the reasoning, i just never could with the limited alternatives present.
-
I’d do it too if only because it’s heathier, but almost every recipe I know has meat in it that’s pretty hard to replace, it wouldn’t be easy. Maybe if/when meat gets more expensive, I might give it a try.
-
But eating meat does not involve fucking animals in the process? What kind of weirdo butcher you were going to.
-
-
It's certainly an inconvenient hurdle to clear to become vegetarian, let alone vegan.
All starts with being convinced that there is something wrong with eating meat, and usually the conscience takes it from there.
It also doesn't help that our governments subsidize the meat and dairy industries to the point where they are some of the cheapest for people. Remove those subsidies, and people will start to see a reason to make the switch.
-
I was able to switch myself and my family to vegetarian thanks to how good plant based meat alternatives have gotten. If you haven't yet, I highly recommend trying out Impossible meat products. Their burgers put in an air fryer are indistinguishable from real meat for me, same with their ground beef.
I've been able to cook all of my family's favorite meat based recipes with impossible meat with no changes to the recipe, and all of them, who are life-long meat eaters, tell me they can't tell a difference.
-
And the cheese. Don't forget the cheese.

-
Vegans supply their lack of animal protein with human attention.
-
Idk most vegans I know try not to talk about it and sometimes even hides it due to stigma.
-
It's the meat heads obsessed with the topic. The only reason most vegans would mention their food preference is because food is part of most peoples life's 3 times a day. But when discovered the questioning is relentless.
-
And people always forget. "Why do vegans go on and on about it?" Because we want to be able to eat? For my stag do, my brother forgot THREE times to get me vegan products. THREE. And then complained because I "mention it too much"...I just wanna eat!
-
Interesting that people on either side are being accused of being obsessed when it's the literal subject of the post we're discussing under

Real food has meat in it
-
Real food tastes good, my favorite Indian restaurant has some of the greatest food I've ever eaten, without a trace of meat
No I'm not vegan, I like meat, but it's not a necessity in everything
-
And we eat wayyyy too much of it. Partly because it's so prevalent that it's the default in most meals.
You don't have to go vegetarian to skip the meat at Taco Bell that you hardly notice anyway.
-
As a person who loves eating meat (fish and chicken mostly) I agree that I love some veg dishes
-

All hail Ron Swanson. Truly, what an original thought.
-
Ding dong your opinion is wrong.
-
The weak eat meat. 2nd class protein filled with fat and cholesterol.
No wonder almost 80% of Americans are fat sacks of shit.
-
Seems considerate? "We didn't want to annoy you with photos of something you despise so we created a separate channel to do just that but nothing else."
Only if she did actually despise meat. I am in a few discords with vegans and vegetarians and we all just post food photos regardless.
I’d say the issue is more that the group was secret and had a stupid name.
Edit: people who stalk decent folks comment history to mass downvote should be executed.
The name is clever!
