Wrong, people do not like the status quo being challenged.

People in certain places in the world do not appreciate being told to stop beating or eating dogs. They think those animal advocates are "rude".

But apparently you do?

Well yes because I dont eat/use animal products for ethical reasons. A carnist obviously knows the least about this subject.

You're dismissing the definition from the vegan society because it allows you to participate in reductionism. Go hang out with the flexitarians, vegetarians and the plant-based if you want to engage in the kind of conversation.

There are so many people who claim to be "vegan" who consume honey or oysters or fish for crying out loud. No wonder why the general population is so confused on what being vegan actually means.

Not to mention all the bad actors who lie about "being vegan" or that they know "someone is vegan" to push false narratives about the community in an attempt to discredit the whole movement.

For following proper definitions?

People hate vegans because they feel guilty about their actions.

Flexitarian: one whose normally meatless diet occasionally includes meat or fish.

Vegan: a person who follows the philosophy and way of living that excludes all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty for food, clothing or any other purpose.

This is why I'm going to block you for arguing in bad faith.

You do not get to bend words to suit your beliefs. Every legitimate vegan community would ban anyone who falsely claims they're vegan. It's always an abuse of power every time vegans moderates their communities but not when carnivore grifters do it.

Baby steps is not what veganism is about, that's flexitarinism.

That attempt did not work. It’s like saying slaves should work in a business to save it.

A restaurant that serves animal products is flexitarian not vegan. Definitions should not be watered down. Anyone who advocates for the use of animal products contradicts the definition of veganism:

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
