hedwards: It goes both ways, but the vegans are definitely worse than the meat eaters in that regard.
Having been through lots of dietary changes in the last 10 years and therefore having experienced all sides first hand I simply disagree.
Tolerance has nothing to do with that and although I've encountered more of the opposite than you describe, I don't generalize.
Omnivores, vegetarians, vegans and pescetarians alike tend to think bad about people who enslave, mutilate, rape, kill, etc... other animals depending on their reasons and priorities why they decided to avoid this or that (which more often than you think is about the own health on all sides) and the usuals tends to think bad about all veggies because they feel that their moral values are looked down upon. It's as simple and logical as that.
I'd be the last one trying to dissuade someone from going on a hunt for his stuff.
How nice of you!
hedwards: for even considering comparing this to being gay. It's not even remotely the same thing. One is a biological piece of who a person is and the other is a voluntary dietary choice
Actually, a biologically deciding factor for bi- or homosexuality has never been proven. Although it really has been searched a lot to prove a point, only aspects making you tend somewhere a bit more have been found and this is the case in practically everything.
Both things are results of a very complex social development and therefore can be compared indeed although I did only compare the reactions to an "outing" and sadly you completely deflected this point with a nice "fuck you".
Besides that it's not always a voluntary choice at all, if you consider lactose intolerance, people with a heart condition, etc... or if you simply cannot eat something out of disgust in order not having to vomit from it, like raw mushrooms, raw meat, whatever.
hedwards: that probably isn't even healthy in most cases.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

If you "gamergaters" want to prove, that you are not as narrow minded as "your average sjw", you'll have to do better. Be a shining example!
