I just signed up. I'm done with big social media sites and want to get back to my roots posting on forums again. I need something like this but with conversation about entertainment too.

Change my mind: Veganism entails trade-offs, and health is one of the axes

"it’s deeply emotionally and morally charged for one side in a conversation, and often a vague irritant to the other."

Very true, as a vegan I find non-vegans can become highly emotionally volatile when they want to talk about why I want to do what I'm doing, and it gets pretty irritating.

When I was vegetarian (for complicated digestive reasons) I met omnivores who were deeply invested in my choice and demanded a bunch of justification and emotional management around it, and it was super irritating. I just wanted to eat my peas in peace. To the extent that's what's happening to you: I'm sorry, yeah, that sucks. People feeling entitled to have your diet meet their standards is bad in all forms.
