i have noticed a lot of media opinion trying to discredit vegetarians by lumping them in with vegans but also trying to portray them as emotionally volatile, physically weak, stupid and obnoxious. however, i have received much greater contempt from meat eaters simply from them finding out i don't eat most meat, i never impose my beliefs or even attempt to educate. but i believe they feel obligated to defend themselves, which is a massive self-report/very telling.
