Fear me, non-vegans, for I am the mighty tofu gatekeeper, and no meat-lovers shall feast on this delicious food! This is what one internet user nearly sounded like when they started having a cyberbullying sesh at an omnivore, who’d complimented their tofu recipe. Talk about being rude to someone acting nice.

“Tofu is strictly for vegans.” That’s what the self-proclaimed guardian of tofu declared after receiving praise from a beef-eater, who adored the tofu-lovers ‘tofurkey’ (tofu turkey) recipe. What followed was a back-and-forwards exchange that showed just how condescending and arrogant this particular veganism preacher is.

The text messages were uploaded to the ‘Gatekeeping’ subreddit, which has over 654,000 members. According to this online community, gatekeeping is “when someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity. /r/gatekeeping is a subreddit for screenshots and stories of gatekeepers in the wild.”

    The vegan was angry that the meat-eater was eating all of their tofu. Good heavens, the horror

    Medical News Today writes that tofu, which is made from soybean curds, is “naturally gluten-free and low in calories. It contains no cholesterol and is an excellent source of iron and calcium.” So it’s clear why vegan dieters, vegetarians, and omnivores are all angling for a bite.

    What’s more, tofu is said to improve kidney function and cardiovascular health and may help fight prostate and breast cancer. This makes it a health-goldmine that ought to be shared with everyone, not jealously guarded by just a few.

    I’m personally a big fan of meat — give me a steak any day of the week. But I know I should eat more veggies, greens, and other healthy foods. Whether or not you eat or avoid meat, there are numerous benefits of an all-vegan diet.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Healthline argues that vegan diets are richer in certain nutrients like fiber, antioxidants and “beneficial plant compounds”, potassium, magnesium, folate, and vitamins A, C and E. Furthermore, going vegan can help you lose weight, lower your blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. But whatever your dietary preferences, the most important thing is acting like an adult, not an angsty teenager with something to prove and a holier-than-thou attitude.

    Internet users reacted to the tofu gatekeeper with scorn

    Now I want to throw an Appropriation Party. Everyone dress, hair, makeup in as many cultures as possible in one outfit, not as a mockery but to look as good as possible, food, alcohol and beverages from just everywhere, music games and entertainment from the entire planet . What holiday can we appropriate for this?

    Just tips to have tofu as a snack : You can fried tofu that has been submerged with water+garlic+salt and then fried it. And then you can make spicy sauce as dipping sauce with this ingredients : Sweet soy sauce (the thick one)+crushed garlic+crushed chillies.. Mix it together and you can dip yout fried tofu in it. :) This is how a lot of Indonesian people eat their tofu with.. "Tahu goreng dan sambal kecap" :)

There's enough to go around for everyone! I don't know a single person who would say/feel something like that. People can be weird over the most stoopid things. :-/

    This is so stupid. Most vegans want other people to eat vegan food, because that's one less animal that is being eaten. Any logical vegan acknowledges that the key to reducing animal suffering and lessening the environmental impact of farming meat is actually through encouraging everyone to reduce their meat intake, not by pressuring people to go vegan or vegetarian. I've never met anyone who thinks this way and I will downvote every single anti-vegan article this site posts.

    Tofu, stuffed with meats and/or seafood, is a common preparation throughout Asian countries - China, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese come to mind. Doesn't everyone know mapo tofu is originally made with ground pork? How's about Korean tofu hotpot commonly with meats and/or seafood? This vegan nut job needs to stop appropriating tofu from Asian culture.

    I'm vegan and I always encourage non-vegans to eat vegan food. How can you expect people to go vegan when they don't like vegan food? Just recently my great uncle said that he likes Impossible burgers more than burgers made from animals and it makes me so happy! Unfortunately, I don't think he'll ever go vegan but he's going to eat less meat and he won't be funding the slaughter of thousands of animals as much as before, so it is a good step.

    Regardless of the diet you choose, what someone else chooses to eat is none of your business. Claiming that meat-eaters who also eat tofu are "stealing" from vegetarians is the most asinine thing I've read today. They went out, they bought it, they cooked it, it's theirs to do with as they please. They didn't rip it out of the hands of a poor starving vegan. Idiots like this make everyone else assume that other vegans and vegetarians are just as bonkers.

I really can't comprehend the whole 'gatekeeping' mindset some people get into. Can't we happily share the things we enjoy instead of hoarding it greedily like it's somehow going to mean less for us? Also, this guy is such an idiot. Where the hell does he think tofu even came from?

There are so many amazing veggie burgers out there now, they've become a major staple in our freezer!

    Bloody ridiculous! Has this person never heard of Meat Free Monday? Launched by Sir Paul McCartney "The campaign encourages people to help slow climate change, conserve precious natural resources and improve their health by having at least one plant-based day each week." I've followed vegetarian diets before, but for me, my preferred mix is the best of both. Some days I don't eat any meat, some I'll have meat at one meal. Some people just genuinely enjoy vegetarian meals, even if they still eat meat at other times. I could never be vegan, I love cheese far too much. As stated above, if everyone had just one meat free day a week it could make a huge difference to our planet. Bad vegan! They're the militant types that give other vegans a bad name.

    Something is only "important" if we make it so. Being "vegan" is just as important as being a "trash collector" or a being a "good father". What's important to you is not important to others. Not everyone shares your world views, religion, politics, or feelings. And demanding respect is a sure fire way to not get it.

    Is no one going to point out that Tofu isnt "only" for vegans and vegetarians? Tofu's been around since ancient China and there ain't no Vegans or Vegetarians back then. Tofu isn't owned by anyone - everyone can eat it just coz they like it.

    With that kind of militant attitude and intolerance, you can be sure this vegan is a proud member of PETA. Way to encourage meat eaters to try a meatless diet; tell them they're not allowed to eat meat alternatives and then report them. What a douchebag.

    Tofa has been in many Asian cuisines for centuries, over 2000 years in China according to Wikipedia. I've never heard any of my Chinese friends cry 'culture appropriation' when it comes to tofu being widely enjoyed outside of Asia... Perhaps I should ask? Lol

    The last two years I'm vegeterian for my own reasons. No one in my family We eat all together.. I don't understand the vegans. In human nature is to eat everything.The point is to not overeat meat or waste it to the garbage. One animal sacrificed for us, to feed us or our pets. It deserve our respect. And for me this is the point. Eat less meat, from little farms, that respect the animals. No overconsume. The happiness is not in our food.

    To help you understand vegans, I can explain our reasoning. It is human nature to be omnivores, but we don't have to eat animal products to be healthy (as has been proven by thousands of people). The animals are not sacrificed, they are slaughtered needlessly because their flesh tasts good. They don't care if you respect them or say a prayer for them at the dinner table, they don't want to be slaughtered and eaten, they want to live. You're already vegetarian and it is an easy step to veganism! The dairy and egg industries are just as bad as the meat industry.

    Tofu is rare you absolute tool, you know how much it costs to make that? No, you don't, because you people just consume and eat everything you want, letting the rest of us suffer. People die in the process of making Tofu, the method is secretly kept between generations and it is dangerous to gather the materials, but nooooo, you couldn't give a s**t could you? You don't care that the people making your food could die. No you don't, now stop being such a c**t.

    @lapetos You're welcome to read about lectins and sensistivity to them, as well as Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome, which may or may not be related, since it's most often triggered by soy or dairy (which of course comes from animals that eat plants). There are also several (admittedly very rare) conditions, primarily found in second- or third-world countries and indigenous populations, that come from severe deficiency of complete proteins. The main problem with a plant-based diet is that plants don't have complete proteins, and therefore the sources of plant protein have to be rotated frequently so nutritional deficits don't occur. I mostly have the point of view that I do from seeing multiple people with rare medical conditions that make it so that veganism does them more harm than good, but I don't recall what any of them were; they may have been the things I've already mentioned, I don't remember.

While we're at it, they should stop appropriating rabbit culture as well. Root vegetables are not for you! As a human-rabbit hybrid, I am deeply offended.

    This asswipe should be locked up in a slaughterhouse till he(/she?) admits tofu/soy is for everyone. Does he/she even KNOW that soy is used as cattle feed? For 1lb of beef it takes 70lbs of soybeans as feed. 1(imperial) pound of tofu is made from 1kg of soybeans. And what's left of the soy can still be used for other purposes. Also it takes a 100 times more water to produce 1lb of meat than to grow 1lb of soybeans. And greenhouse gases? 134lbs of CO2 vs 23lbs for beef vs tofu/lb.

    I can't have tofu, it makes me sick to my stomach. My husband loves it, though, and he'll often cook it for himself - which is just fine, because he likes cooking anyway. He's no vegan, though.

    Instead of spreading awareness on climate crisis, reading the facts from scientists that shows how imperative it is for us all to switch to a plant based diet to not make the end of the world, we are making mockery because we don't care about the planet beyond ourselves. No vegans aren't superior beings, they're regular humans who eat, wear, buy things comparing the suffering footprint which also leds to reducing your carbon, water and waste footprint. There's enough science available but we choose to wilfully ignore and read the bias.

    Just tips to have tofu as a snack : You can fried tofu that has been submerged with water+garlic+salt and then fried it. And then you can make spicy sauce as dipping sauce with this ingredients : Sweet soy sauce (the thick one)+crushed garlic+crushed chillies.. Mix it together and you can dip yout fried tofu in it. :) This is how a lot of Indonesian people eat their tofu with.. "Tahu goreng dan sambal kecap" :)

    This is so stupid. Most vegans want other people to eat vegan food, because that's one less animal that is being eaten. Any logical vegan acknowledges that the key to reducing animal suffering and lessening the environmental impact of farming meat is actually through encouraging everyone to reduce their meat intake, not by pressuring people to go vegan or vegetarian. I've never met anyone who thinks this way and I will downvote every single anti-vegan article this site posts.

    Tofu, stuffed with meats and/or seafood, is a common preparation throughout Asian countries - China, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese come to mind. Doesn't everyone know mapo tofu is originally made with ground pork? How's about Korean tofu hotpot commonly with meats and/or seafood? This vegan nut job needs to stop appropriating tofu from Asian culture.

    Literally the only time I'd ever be mad at an omnivore for eating non-meat food is if we were at a party with only 1 small plate of vegan food amidst a cast array of meaty options and they ate my only chance at salvation.

    I'm vegan and I always encourage non-vegans to eat vegan food. How can you expect people to go vegan when they don't like vegan food? Just recently my great uncle said that he likes Impossible burgers more than burgers made from animals and it makes me so happy! Unfortunately, I don't think he'll ever go vegan but he's going to eat less meat and he won't be funding the slaughter of thousands of animals as much as before, so it is a good step.

    Regardless of the diet you choose, what someone else chooses to eat is none of your business. Claiming that meat-eaters who also eat tofu are "stealing" from vegetarians is the most asinine thing I've read today. They went out, they bought it, they cooked it, it's theirs to do with as they please. They didn't rip it out of the hands of a poor starving vegan. Idiots like this make everyone else assume that other vegans and vegetarians are just as bonkers.

    "That’s what the self-proclaimed guardian of tofu declared after receiving praise from a beef-eater, who adored the tofu-lovers ‘tofurkey’ (tofu turkey) recipe" Who wrote this? It is clearly the vegan praising the meat-eaters tofurky recipe, not the beef-eater giving praise.

    Bloody ridiculous! Has this person never heard of Meat Free Monday? Launched by Sir Paul McCartney "The campaign encourages people to help slow climate change, conserve precious natural resources and improve their health by having at least one plant-based day each week." I've followed vegetarian diets before, but for me, my preferred mix is the best of both. Some days I don't eat any meat, some I'll have meat at one meal. Some people just genuinely enjoy vegetarian meals, even if they still eat meat at other times. I could never be vegan, I love cheese far too much. As stated above, if everyone had just one meat free day a week it could make a huge difference to our planet. Bad vegan! They're the militant types that give other vegans a bad name.

    Something is only "important" if we make it so. Being "vegan" is just as important as being a "trash collector" or a being a "good father". What's important to you is not important to others. Not everyone shares your world views, religion, politics, or feelings. And demanding respect is a sure fire way to not get it.

    The last two years I'm vegeterian for my own reasons. No one in my family We eat all together.. I don't understand the vegans. In human nature is to eat everything.The point is to not overeat meat or waste it to the garbage. One animal sacrificed for us, to feed us or our pets. It deserve our respect. And for me this is the point. Eat less meat, from little farms, that respect the animals. No overconsume. The happiness is not in our food.

    To help you understand vegans, I can explain our reasoning. It is human nature to be omnivores, but we don't have to eat animal products to be healthy (as has been proven by thousands of people). The animals are not sacrificed, they are slaughtered needlessly because their flesh tasts good. They don't care if you respect them or say a prayer for them at the dinner table, they don't want to be slaughtered and eaten, they want to live. You're already vegetarian and it is an easy step to veganism! The dairy and egg industries are just as bad as the meat industry.

    @lapetos You're welcome to read about lectins and sensistivity to them, as well as Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome, which may or may not be related, since it's most often triggered by soy or dairy (which of course comes from animals that eat plants). There are also several (admittedly very rare) conditions, primarily found in second- or third-world countries and indigenous populations, that come from severe deficiency of complete proteins. The main problem with a plant-based diet is that plants don't have complete proteins, and therefore the sources of plant protein have to be rotated frequently so nutritional deficits don't occur. I mostly have the point of view that I do from seeing multiple people with rare medical conditions that make it so that veganism does them more harm than good, but I don't recall what any of them were; they may have been the things I've already mentioned, I don't remember.

    Actually, vegans need to stop appropriating Japanese culture by eating so much tofu. As a half Japanese person myself, I am deeply offended. While we're at it, they should stop appropriating rabbit culture as well. Root vegetables are not for you! As a human-rabbit hybrid, I am deeply offended. Finally, they need to stay out of swimming pools and the ocean. As a Japanese, human rabbit hybrid that is also part dolphin, I am deeply offended. Swimming is our thing. It is not for you!

    It’s OK to be vegan. But don’t tell others what to eat and not eat - and don’t claim vegan is natural for humans. No people has been vegan, but some has been almost 100% on an animal diet (inuits for example).

    Don’t tell other people what to say. If someone sees you doing something wrong they have every right to speak up. That’s what a society is.

    You wouldn't think that someone who only eats plants would be able to be so aggressive. Not enough protein in his/her diet so can't process his thoughts logically! Too funny! Think I'm going to go out and buy me some tofu right damn now!

    This asswipe should be locked up in a slaughterhouse till he(/she?) admits tofu/soy is for everyone. Does he/she even KNOW that soy is used as cattle feed? For 1lb of beef it takes 70lbs of soybeans as feed. 1(imperial) pound of tofu is made from 1kg of soybeans. And what's left of the soy can still be used for other purposes. Also it takes a 100 times more water to produce 1lb of meat than to grow 1lb of soybeans. And greenhouse gases? 134lbs of CO2 vs 23lbs for beef vs tofu/lb.

    Yeah, and it has largely the same nutrients as well. (Tofu also has carbohydrates and fibre, but the minerals (iron, zinc) are pretty much the same.)

    I can't have tofu, it makes me sick to my stomach. My husband loves it, though, and he'll often cook it for himself - which is just fine, because he likes cooking anyway. He's no vegan, though. As he said last weekend, "I am not going to pass on perfectly braised short ribs just because I'm mostly a vegetarian...that would be crazy."

    Every omnivore has those too, dumbass. That isn’t what being vegan even means. It’s about doing what is reasonable to prevent animal harm. Like something any idiot can do like just don’t eat meat. Most people weren’t born vegan and still have old s**t. F*****g duh. Look it up instead of embarrassing yourself.

    Awesome Bored Panda spreading the anti-vegan bias and stereotypes. Unsurprisingly the anti-vegans are enjoying it. Oh yes, vegans become vegans to be better than you, is it? Is that your best? Why don't you become one then? You won't and you know why. You talk about vegans being angry like it's a trait only with vegans? Well, read all the comments which are filled with anger and hatred. This is typical of western people who don't know the entire world speak c**p. So this one vegan is wrong but don't you go generalize it calling all vegans bla bla bla to spread your personal hatred for vegans. He's clearly naive and ignorant that soy based foods are abundant in other cultures for centuries. Perhaps, about time non-vegans see through the lies spread by dairy and meat industry about soy consumption when there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating soy in any form it's being for a very very long time across cultures and across centuries.

    And THIS is exactly why many in the world HATE and MOCK vegans and vegetarians. Because of the attitude of superiority and nastiness. Wow. Geez, then next thing you know, diabetics are going to start having all non-diabetics arrested for eating sweet potatoes. (though I'm not sure why the nutritionists push them so hard, they have more carbs and calories than regular potatoes, and a whole different set of nutrients.) And Lord have mercy... what if you are NOT on a diet or needing to be gluten free, and you love to eat CAULIFLOWER?? Ehhh… get over yourselves. Its FOOD. Be grateful that there's enough to eat! All too many people end up going hungry.\

    Instead of spreading awareness on climate crisis, reading the facts from scientists that shows how imperative it is for us all to switch to a plant based diet to not make the end of the world, we are making mockery because we don't care about the planet beyond ourselves. No vegans aren't superior beings, they're regular humans who eat, wear, buy things comparing the suffering footprint which also leds to reducing your carbon, water and waste footprint. There's enough science available but we choose to wilfully ignore and read the bias.

    We Asians think what Caucasians do to tofu is an abomination. Don't 'dress' it up. Don't try to make it something it's not. Just eat it for what it is. Then have a steak.

    I think the vegan has consumed too much soy and is suffering estrogen hormonal imbalances leading to rage issues.
