There are two types of vegans: 1. The vegan who doesnt give much (if any) damn about what people think of him/her, and chances are s/he didnt before becoming a vegan, either. The priority of this vegan is to remain true to his/her core values, not to be or remain popular among his/her non-vegan friends so this vegan couldnt care less about the BS labels that society gives vegans in hopes of getting vegans to shut up in fear of being ostracized: crazy extreme militant etc. This vegan will discuss veganism whenever and wherever, and her passion and strong convictions alone will get non-vegans to respect him/her even if they do not become a vegan (right away or at all) or cut the outspoken vegan out of their life. 2. The vegan who gives too much of a damn about what people think of him/her, and chances are s/he always has given too much of a damn, even before becoming a vegan. The priority of this vegan is to make sure her veganism doesnt get in the way of his/her being or remaining popular among his/her non-vegan friends so this vegan will coddle the ego of non-vegans to make sure they do not call him/her crazy extreme militant etc. Instead of whenever and wherever, this vegan will discuss veganism only in circumstances that s/he knows will not negatively affect any aspect of his/her life (e.g: social status), and s/he will rationalize this by thinking/claiming that s/he is simply being nonjudgemental and compassionate. I respect only the former.
