Updated template. Had no idea on who the knucklehead from the original template was.

    Whenever anyone brings this up, I imagine a vegan sitting at a table with their new friends, refusing to eat any chicken wings, but also not saying why… And then everyone harassing them with a million questions like, “do you not like hot sauce? We can get barbecue”, “are you on a diet?”, “are you allergic?”, etc, etc. Finally, after half an hour of this, they lose it and just as there’s a lull in the music, they scream out, “look, I’m a vegan! I don’t fucking eat meat! Fuck off!”

    The whole bar goes quiet, staring, then one of the people at the table reaches for a wing, looks at the vegan, and says, “dude, chill, we get it, you don’t eat meat, blah blah blah. You don’t have to talk about it every 5 minutes! Here’s some bread and butter.”

      I have to say, I am yet to encounter a cliche vegan.

      Not a single vegan I’ve ever met brought up the topic, unless there was a reason for it. Like the scenario you described.

      But I’ve met a whole lot of bros who made fun of vegans for existing and being annoying.

      Every vegan that irritated me constantly brought it up…the folks who just did their thing got me curious as to why and educated me on some delicious food despite me not being vegan/vegetarian.

      I will say I think Indian food is the best vegetarian food to the point that it’s just good, you’re not even worried about meat.

        That’s why vegan != arch user. If you are vegan, you can not avoid the topic. Arch user could avoid the topic.

          Uhhh… I mean no. I think the equivalency is both groups love to talk about something that Makes them feel superior- but actually just annoys everyone around them

      Kinda proving the point tho. The joke was more on Arch users and everyone in here is writing paragraphs defending Gluten Free/Vegan. But, like the meme is pointing out, you just gotta talk about it! 😂

        “Haha vegans never stop talking about themselves!”

        Hey can you stop making fun of us?

        “Haha look at this, yet another vegan who can’t shut up!”

          It’s more like “Hey, don’t Arch users totally fit this stereotype?”, but again, look how defensive you get. It’s hilarious that you don’t see the irony. The joke literally starts with “Arch users…”, but you zero in on the vegan part. You didn’t even need to comment. You could’ve just downvoted and moved on.

          I really hope you can appreciate the irony. Humor is good for the soul, buddy.

              Ever hear a completely accurate and factual joke? They’re boring. Just admit you don’t like the joke and move on. You don’t need to further the very stereotype you hate so much.

              That’s the irony part that you’re just not getting.
