What happened in the vegan community?

Gish-gallop

I don't think you know what this means.

Yes I do, only in online comments you can't speak while another person is talking unless it's a livestream chat

The online comment version of basically responding over and over again to eventually tire the other person out

talking to tire someone out is not Gish gallop.

So you don't understand the term.

here:

The Gish gallop (/ˈɡɪʃ ˈɡæləp/) is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm an opponent by presenting an excessive number of arguments, with no regard for their accuracy or strength, with a rapidity that makes it impossible for the opponent to address them in the time available.
