Hahaha, my parents do this too. I don’t get what perverse satisfaction they get from it
The one time it’s completely appropriate to tell people you are vegan is when they ask what you want to eat…
I forgot that dragon roll is a real thing for a second, and thought that the joke was implying eating dragon is vegan.
Also, doesn’t a dragon roll usually have shrimp in it?
In my experience it’s eel that’s the ‘dragon’. Although one place around here has fucking chicken in it.
Every dragon roll I have ever had has had lobster and at least one other fish in it. No cheese 🤮
Vegans aren’t a problem. Why would you care about what another person chooses not to eat?
Holier-than-thou vegans with pamphlet level arguments they force upon everybody are a problem.
Thankfully there aren’t too many of those around. Less than Jehova’s Witnesses, at least.
It does seem like America in particular has a cult of people hating on vegans, and I gotta ask; why do you think you’re better than them, if you’re expressing the same attitude as the worst kinds of vegans?
A lot of the vegan haters are uncomfortable with the moral issues with meat consumption and rather than seriously work through their feelings and try to figure out where they stand they just mock those who make them uncomfortable and conflate them to the most annoying of the group.
Very similar to people who haven’t worked out their religious trauma hating on even decent religious folks
moral issues with meat consumption
Why do you assume omnivores have any “moral issues with meat”? Your comment implies that vegan diet is somehow morally supreme, which is an utter rubbish. It is a dietary choice, the same as eating bread or not.
They seem to imply that in their experience omnivores do indeed have such moral qualms with eating meat. That does not mean that they think that is objectively the case or the case for everyone.
A lot of committed vegans I know don’t sweat over it if mistakes are made on the “vegan” menu. They advise the staff politely, discarding what they can by hand and eating that they can’t. Wasting a meal makes a mockery of the point of being a vegan in many ways.
This teenager possibly gets it. Dad is intentionally overdoing it. There is a lot we can learn about how to do better politics here. Perfection is the enemy of the good.
Sounds like Dad’s heart is in the right place.
Sounds more like a teenager problem than a vegan problem
Is dad being an asshole? Or is dad being a dad and intentionally embarassing her?
His face and volume suggest asshole, like he’s actually causing a scene.
But I could see this as having been a much less loud/angry encounter, with dad basically giving his daughter shit by being as dramatic as she is at home. And this whole encounter is being told through the daughters perspective, who inflated the scene/comic.
