Based on the post they were spreading misinformation and being really unsightly, calling not vegans things akin to slurs like "meaties" or some shit. I don't know the full story though.

Is "meatie" or "carnist" really a slur though? Those seem benign at worst and mildly accurate at best. Who is throwing a fit over that?
"No no, you have to protect the feelings of "meat eaters" and "carnivores" by using the full word." ??? Like.. why is this the hill people die on?
I agree that feeding a cat a vegan or vegetarian diet is still animal abuse, though. They're not omnivores like us. They're obligate carnivores, and pretending they're not is abusive.
Vegans do a better job of pissing everyone off about a pretty sensible topic than any community I’ve ever seen
their vitriol is...weird. if they just said "i prefer..." not many would be bothered.
"you're a murderer." does tend to ruffle feathers.
Forreal, longtime vegan here.... Vegans (online mostly) annoy me more than most people. I swear we aren't all jerks! I'm probably a major sell out, I don't even have a problem with hunters.

A lot of us are murderers in that way. Or accomplices, whatever. The thing about vegans specifically is that there's not any moral need for it. The goodness to animals would make you vegetarian. Not having cheese or eggs is not the slightest bit morally better.
Almost like ruffling feathers is the point when you truly believe most people are being murderers. You don't change society by being polite.
