Gatekeeping is the activity during which someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to an identity and its goods.

Like the time when a guy said watching Star Wars movies and liking them does not make you a Star Wars fan.

But instead of telling you about this phenomenon, we decided to show you more examples of it.

After doing a bit of research, we landed on a subreddit of the same name (r/gatekeeping) and quickly realized that probably all communities have their "guardians."

This time, however, we'll focus on vegans. Not because we have something against them or anything. It's just that their gatekeepers are as funny as they are popular on Reddit.

    But even if we disregard, let's call them, extreme vegans such as the ones we see in the pictures, many people are still wary of this community. To understand them a little better, let's look at the situation from their perspective.

    "The caution around our dietary requirements is arguably warranted," Dejan Jotanovic wrote in The Guardian. "Many assert that veganism just isn’t an option to a large chunk of the population. The labour and cost of sifting through nutritional requirements, alongside inflated pricing for plant-based meat alternatives, is often too great."

    Jotanovic also raised the issue of food accessibility. "Many live in areas – popularly termed 'food deserts' – where access to fresh produce or even supermarkets is difficult. Meat, dairy and other animal products are also staples to a variety of cultural and religious groups. In Australia, for example, our overtly masculine and sunburnt culture has a real appetite for red meat, namely beef, as per the annual promotional campaigns. The intersections of class, race, culture and veganism makes for a recipe that’s pretty damn hard to swallow."

    Is the joke here that people's individualism expands into the existence of other beings? When someone decides to have 12 children, it certainly reduces my 1 child's chance of sustaining life and happiness. When people make a habit of eating animals larger than themselves, it has - effects. For the animal, the planet and themselves. We agree not to smoke indoors. We should agree not to eat meat. We are too many people, and the alternatives to the suffering are great.

    For those of you saying that the cow is already dead so why not eat it-- I've been vegetarian or vegan for over half my life, and it's about the long haul. If there's less demand, there will be eventually less animals slaughtered. I do not want to contribute now or in the future to the slaughter.

    Animal welfare a factor for vegetarianism is a false premise. The most cruel and torturous acts against “livestock” are with dairy cows and egg hens. Both of which are what separates vegetarianism from veganism. And these cows and chickens are routinely and continually tortured as opposed to animals raised primarily for meat. I see no issue eating any way one wants, it let’s not kid ourselves into thinking that limiting our animal consumption to dairy and eggs is any healthier or in any way at all more humane to animals.

    However, Jotanovic argues that most people find vegans annoying because "it's one of the only social justice causes whose point of entry is entirely negotiated by real, quantifiable, fundamental behavior change."

    "Everyone thinks of themselves as a good person. But it's much easier to slap 'Feminist as F**k' on your T-shirt and #BlackLivesMatter in your Twitter bio than it is to actively support animal welfare and the climate through an upheaval of your current lifestyle."

    However, Jotanovic understands that vegans are constantly splashing around in their own hypocrisy too.

    "What we need to do instead is look internally and reconsider what it means to care," he said. "I can, for example, say that I care about labour exploitation around the world, but it's obviously not bountiful enough considering my current purchasing habits. Saying that we care for absolutely everything – because we want to be deemed as fundamentally good – just isn’t sustainable or done with any real integrity."

    Regardless of their diet, most people recognize that factory farming is a moral problem. Nearly 70% of Americans have "some discomfort with the way animals are used in the food industry."

    Its like it's never good enough. And there's a difference between veganism for ethical reasons and veganism for health reasons. What I personally see on the right is a health nut using "veganism" as righteous fury. The left side tells me that they'll eat whatever is available to keep themselves from eating animals.

    Subconsciously, people don't hate vegans. In a 2017 study, for instance, researchers tracked the meal purchases of over 300 people at a Stanford University cafe who were asked to fill out a survey while waiting in line.

    Some patrons were told that a fixed minority of Americans reduce their meat consumption. Others were told that these people represent an increasing trend in those avoiding meat. Patrons in the second group were almost twice as likely to order vegetarian meals when they reached the cashier.

    Durably reducing your own consumption of animal products offers “social proof” of its viability. It demonstrates to those around you that a plant-based diet is consistent with being healthy and enjoying the food on your plate.

    You cannot be Vegan if you are a Jedi as Jedi exploit those poor Midi-chlorians.

    But social influence can quickly stagnate if people start behaving just like we see in these pictures. Moral superiority not only turns us off, but it also makes us defensive.

    Studies have shown that negative attitudes toward vegetarians, for example, stem from anticipated moral reproach. In other words, we care so deeply about seeing ourselves as morally just that a mere whiff of virtue signaling or grandstanding puts our guard up.

    I don't even think vegans care about animals. They're just cold people who hate other people and are trying SO hard to prove to everyone how self-righteous they are and think they're better than everyone. These people are usually in the same group of anti-vaxxers, so no surprise there. I don't hear of them volunteering to help animals or starting an organization to help farmers with better humane farming practices.

    I am waiting for the vegans to stop eating mushrooms as mushrooms have more in common and closer genetically speaking to animals than plants.

    I am friends with a family who have been vegan as far back as anyone can remember. Through a hereditary app, they found a relative in 1684 that once, just once, ate a rabbit. You have just ruined this entire family’s life.

    So you're laughing at people who are at least making attempts to help the environment. What is it with Vegans and the apparent need for some of them to control everything good for the environment. If anything they should be happy anyone's trying despite what they eat.

    this is like... true by definition, but not interestingly true? A bit like saying a teacher is no longer a teacher unless they teach for the rest of their life including never retiring, they must die in the classroom? I though the criterion was seven years?

    If I remember correctly, the Amazon was burning because the farmers were setting fire to it so they could have more fertile land to produce their soy on…..or was it palm oil? I’m sure it was something plant based………
