I think so. The guy for RI is holding a huge slab of meat.
I showed my hardcore annoying vegan friend to see what she thinks. :lulz:

QuoteSelling out veganism is a trend on the upswing, bringing with it swarms of haughty, nose-turning carnists uttering nonsensical buzzwords re: veganism being "privileged", or "trendy", critiquing themselves into ethical degeneracy and paleo-terrorism.
Paleo-terrorism. :lulz:
I don't care if it's real or not. I love this shit. :lulz:

Vegans are kinda crazy. Not all of them, but certainly the ones who let you know that they're Vegan on a street corner.
Though, that could be said about any damn thing. Usually branding is not involved though.
So, yeah, this thing is plausible, since there are some vegans out there who will go so far as to injure themselves and give them a permanent scar identifying themselves as vegan.
Kids these days.
Back in my day we just got regrettable tattoos.

I think they should do this all the time, until people get it.

I call them Vegivangelists.
I'm pretty-much vegan, but I'm not fucking anal about it.
Crop production kills animals too.
Last time we checked, we can't photosynthesize, gotta eat something.

I have a date with a vegan tomorrow. :lulz:
I can already tell from his EXTENSIVE emails that he's crazy as fuck. This ought to be fun.

Make him some bacon candies.
Full date time, 5 minutes. :lol:
See thats one strike against him already. Bacon is awesome.
And then cheese too? Clearly the man doesnt understand fun.
Also i do respect the idea behind veganism i also have to recognize that if i dont eat it some other less intelligent predator will. Screw those bears. They can eat salmon.
Actually ask him he hes ever had a cat a creature that will kill impulsively after playing with its victim for a while.
All of those are excellent suggestions!
I should bring bacon chocolate and then be all OH OOPS and then offer him a piece of jerky. Which I should chew on continuously throughout the evening.

If it's a troll, they've done okay setting up backgrounds for the people they post about, as well as friends of those people interacting with them.
EDIT: Wait, no they haven't. Some of these photos are used elsewhere with different names. Could be people submitting fake entries or the basis for the entire site.

Yeah, there's a ton of inconsistency.
Those pictures of "recent vegan sellouts" on the main page are stock photos from Facebook adverts. I'm, like, 90% sure of this.
I know this, because I list myself as single and not what my sexual preference is, so there are always Y U NO GET LAID? adverts with their photos when I log in.

I just started doing it to dodge adult-onset diabetes. I got enough fricken' problems.
But now it would gross me out if I was forced to eat it. I'd do it though, to survive.
I met someone who was known to say "I'm a vegetarian, even though I eat chicken. Chickens are just really fast vegetables."
That is a very good non philosophical reason for it. Im an intermittent vegetarian for a variety of reasons. Outside of spring time its usually due to a combination of not wanting to spend the extra money or the extra time. I share a kitchen with 5 other people and when im at home i dont need to impress myself.
THIS THREAD MADE ME WANT A CHEESE SANDWICH.

They're using the real names of the people pictured in at least a couple of cases, though. The food bank lady is real, for example.
There are plenty of totally good reasons to go vegetarian. Veganism I'm not sold on, at all, but vegetarian or pesca-vegetarian, yes.

Pescetarians are rising in number. As are the ovo lacto vegetarians/pesceterians. I can understand the diet changes, just not the evangelism about it. I mean, I only preach about my worship of Pepsi and pizza when it will be most annoying. So I just assume that's what these guys are doing. But they go all purple in the face when I try to give them leaflets containing the joyous news about the Great Mother Marinara and her child, baby Cheesus.
D-Cup went vegan a couple of years ago. She will still openly admit that bacon is delicious.
There is no way I will ever be vegan.
However, I am more than willing to pay ACTUAL value for meats, etc. Yes, I will buy a steak at $25.00 a pound, because I'm willing to accept the cost of my meat. That will, of course, drive my diet more towards a vegetarian one, but it wouldn't stop my dead animal consumption.
I consider myself an "Evolutionary Vegan." That is, I will only eat organisms that share a common evolutionary ancestor with plants.
