Obnoxious but not Fundie. People who don't eat meat aren't fundie, people who think their better then everyone else are.
"if you talk shit about vegans i will punch you in the crotch really hard, or at least I will really really want to"
Vegans have such a high fibre diet, they are their own shit.
Now what are you going to do about it? Because 'wanting' to punch me in the crotch is all you'll ever be able to do, as you'll be too weak to actually do so. X3
OK, three quick suggestions:
* make some new friends;
* invite people to your birthday who can speak on a variety of topics; and
* learn to use periods, they are your friend.
Also, that whole, "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY..." business makes you sound like you're six years old.
Because you obviously are pushy and aggressive.
a) Humans actually are omnivores.
Punch other people in the crotch? You must be very small, so as (statistically) you're probably a kid rather than a dwarf I'll forgive you.
people talk so much shit about how vegans are pushy and aggressive...

Case closed.
How on earth is this "fundie"? He could probably phrase himself better, but does writing a bit incoherently and whiny on the Internet (which, I'm sure, no-one here has ever done) really qualify a person for exposure to public shaming?
This site's definition of "fundamentalist" appears to be "anyone who doesn't fully accept the parochial opinions, perspectives and norms of a left-of-centre male middle class American youth in the early 21st century". Anyone who is too conservative or too progressive, too right or too left, too feminist or too anti-feminist, is ridiculed by a collective whose idea of rationality and independent thought seems to be mindlessly aping the behaviour of their social peers.
A bunch of guys on the Internet publicly making fun on a harassed woman for being upset, ranting about her physically weak. Yeah, she's a real fundie alright.
Stay classy, assholes. Way to show the true colors of the atheist movement.
This isn't fundie; it sounds like the others at the dinner table were being fundie TO HER, constantly mocking her because of her lifestyle choice and attempting to push their views on her.
Why is this posted here? Just because the person's a vegan? The person doesn't qualify; the others at the dinner table do.
Not remotely fundamentalist. Not the best writing, but not remotely fundamentalist. Hell, sometimes I get jumped on because I'm a vegetarian.
Complaining about jerks? Doesn't rate. If the author's being jumped on because of veganism, s/he's entitled to be upset. This doesn't belong here.
@ Anonymous: That just might be the point of why this post is here. Kind of like one of those moral dilemmas.
@ More Rationalierest Than You: Careful, your own Fundie is showing. Nobody demanded a unanimous vote before that was posted, but you tar us all with the same brush?
I'm with the kid on this one. If one of your children or friends was Goth, would you feel compelled to dwell on that, ad nauseum?
1) Humans are omnivores, no matter how much vegans lie about it.
@Ebon
Duly noted, but I don't think we should punish innocent people because of the guilty ones, which is what it sounds like has happened in this case. This vegetarian is being punished because vegetarians have a bad rep.
Remember, a lot of us on here are no different. Either we're atheists who get a bad rep because Christians think atheists are assholes, or we're feminists who get a bad rep because of the shrieking Radfems, etc.
Let's not become what we hate, and lash out at innocent people because we're upset at the few bad apples.
Refusing to discriminate between the innocent and the guilty within a group is exactly where the path of the fundie lies.
I bet you like to walk in the rain and then bitch because you got wet.
As for "Justifying my diet", unless you're are being pushy about it (which ten to one is the case) why should you justify it?
"moral of the story if you talk shit about vegans i will punch you in the crotch really hard, or at least I will really really want to"
I suggest you stick to wanting to because if you actually did you could find yourself eating a knuckle sandwich and there's a lot of meat in one of those.
I've experienced a tiny bit of this myself, but mostly what happens is good-natured teasing by my meat-eating relatives. It goes back and forth and we all laugh.
This doesn't have to be a big deal. Just politely let people know you aren't open to debating your diet choices and try to maintain a lighthearted attitude about it.
Also, don't be rabid about it. Bitching about animal testing at xmas dinner and making shitty remarks about the other folks' food choices just makes you less likely to be invited back. It also turns what is meant to be a pleasant family event into a contentious situation that no one will enjoy. It ruins family get-togethers.
How about mutual respect? You eat what you want, let other people eat what they want, and don't be so concerned about it. You can not force people to embrace Vegetarian/Vegan/Fruitarian diets any more than you can force another person to embrace your religion.
So, vegans like to punch people in the crotch? Eh...
Sure, you're perfectly fine with wanting to celebrate your birthday your way. But, if you didn't give anything up, you ought to show your friends what a splendid spread you can offer them. Most of them won't even realize that it is non-meat, non-dairy, non-fish. I've served my meat-loving husband a stew made with soy-sausages that were leftovers from visits from vegetarians. If hadn't told him beforehand, he would probably not have noticed it. (He liked the stew, btw.)
Moral of MY story; if you don't point out that the meal's vegan, people might not notice and you won't have to defend it.
I agree, this person should not have to be lectured about their diet choices on their birthday. I don't see anything wrong with some online venting when one is pushed to the brink by rudeness. We've all had this experience, where at every family gathering your get the "We don't understand why you can't move back to Omaha," or the "If you don't get married soon nobody will want you" refrain.
If you have a vegan relative, be glad they're not a drug abuser, obsessive gambler, or anything else that actually threatens their well-being or society. Is this fundie? I suppose so, in the sense that a kid who doesn't follow the path their parents expect is fundie. In some parts of the US of A this attitude is know as "stick to your guns."

Which explains how this quote has a -18 fundie index? Complain to Distind, not the mob. We agree with you.

So much for not being "pushy and aggressive."
ok, this one I sympathize with. I am not a vegan but have a limited range of what I like.
Sounds like somebody got triggered.
>complaining about how my diet makes it hard to cook jfc you are a TRAINED CHEF
OMG I hope your private chef at least knew which fucking wine to pair with the delicious seaweed stuffed tofu.
>moral of the story if you talk shit about vegans i will punch you in the crotch really hard, or at least I will really really want to
Why not just get the butler to do it? What's the point in having servants if you gotta do shit yourself, like poor people do?

Hwat the hell did you just freaking say about me, you little bobby? I'll have you know I graduated at the top of my class in the sales of propane and propane acessories, and I've been involved in numerous secret propane raids on Thatherton Fuels, and I have over 300 confirmed sales. I am trained in grilla warfare and I'm the top salesman in the entire Strickland Propane company. I will wipe you the hell out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in arlen, mark my god danged words. You think you can get away with saying that crap to me over the phone? Think again, boy. As we speak I am contacting my group of redneck friends across the street and your number is being traced right now so you better prepare for hell, hippie. The hell that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your charcoal grill. You're freaking dead, boy. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can sell to you in over 700 different ways. and thats just with my grill catalog. Not only am I extensively trained in the sales of propane and propane acessories, but I have access to the entire propane and grill stock of Strickland Propane and I will use it to its full extent to sell you a grill thats off the face of the great USA, you little democrat. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" charcoal grill was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your freaking money. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price you god danged idiot. I will spill propane all over you and you will drown in it. You're freaking buying, customer.
@KittyKaboom
Good advice, but in this person's particular situation, it sounds like it was her relatives who brought up the food topic first, and then kept pestering her about her vegan lifestyle.
The person who is defending herself should not be lectured about showing respect.
I JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH A FUCKING MEAL WITHOUT HAVING TO JUSTIFY OR DEFEND MY DIET
Hey if you let that go both ways then I'll actually take your side on this one but one peep about my love of cheese being cruel or unnatural and it's humble pie for you.
There is nothing fundie here. The poster isn't making any claims about the superiority of veganism, but is simply ranting about non-vegans being dickweeds. And I can say from experience that even if you're not pushy about a way of eating that isn't mainstream, people who don't eat the same way will very often try to talk you out of it or sabotage you somehow.
Honestly, anyone who can't let a vegan enjoy a birthday in peace without trying to make an issue of the vegan's dietary choices is an asshole, plain and simple.
While I definitely get the sense that this person is pretty pushy and overly sensitive, I have to agree that her family giving her shit about her diet on her birthday is outrageous. If she's not harming anyone else or insisting on feeding her cat a vegan diet or whatever, I don't see what the harm is.
I'm meh'ing this, because it's not fundy in the slightest, it's a person venting about a legitimately upsetting event.
This is a comprehensible reaction. The last line may be somewhat hypocritical but it’s normal to overreact when you are angry. People are pestering her, giving her a hard time, and in general being disrespectful. She deserves to rant.
The fact that this was posted here and some users feel the need to mock her makes me less interested in this project.
I N-th this not being fundy.
Having said that: humans are omnivores and there are essentiall vitamins that you cannot get from a pure vegetable-based diet. Being vegetarian is a choice that is made possible by our standard of living, being vegan even more so. If you're cool with that, great.
I used to know a girl who was vegan, and finding food that she would eat was nearly impossible if you didn't know where to look. She knew this, so she would normally bring some herself. She was pretty cool.
I meh'd this but would point out sweethoneysempai's not a '12 year old' or '...just a teenage girl venting', she's twenty-five.
Seems a strange user name for a vegan too, the 'Honey is not vegan' webpage even claims in response to the question 'Don't honeybees pollinate agricultural crops and are otherwise good for the environment?' that 'Actually, bees are harmful to the environment'.
> I think I know why the hivemind loves vegans: they also love to announce what they are at every opportunity. "Did I mention I'm an ATHEIST? Yeah! Suck on that, krischuns!"
The mob doesn't seem to like that vegan cat owner very much.
@1746857
"Did I mention I'm a Christian and think you will be tortured in hellfire by a god who loves you? Suck on that, atheists! Oh, you're not an atheist? You're either a Christian or an atheist! Pick one!"
A retard vegan trying to push his inferior dietary bullshit on others. Ergo, fundie . Otherwise he'd STFU in perpetuity and leave we superior carnivores to our yummy meat (and if we weren't meant to eat meat, question: Why is it so fucking yummy? One word: Bacon ). And speaking of bovine scatology...:

Q.E. and D.
I had roast Turkey, Ham & Beef for Xmas dinner (at my sister's) the other day. What are you going to do about it, sweatyhumpyshitpie?
Anon-e-moose, normally I enjoy reading your posts, but you're really going after the wrong target on this one. sweethoneysempai's family tried to force THEIR beliefs on HER, not the other way around. That is why she's upset in this post.
Furthermore, you seem to be mocking others' choice to be vegan "in and of itself" with the "my food shits on your food" post, rather than mocking those who are fundie about it.
I find your "us carnivores are superior beings" to be in poor taste, and I say that as a meat-eater myself. I would never go vegan, but telling people whose lifestyle is different from yours to STFU seems a bit out-of-character for you.
I apologize if I've misread what you were trying to say.
"FOR FUCK’S SAKE IT’S MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY, I JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH A FUCKING MEAL WITHOUT HAVING TO JUSTIFY OR DEFEND MY DIET FOR THE MILLIONTH FUCKING TIME, COULD YOU GIVE IT A FUCKING REST PLEASE."

@Anonymous, Arceus
Not really, especially when what she says would make the likes of Gordon Ramsay blush!
@Anon-e-moose
I do agree that the final sentence was really harsh and stupid, but the rest is just a woman being harassed by her family over her own dietary choices (and being a lacto-ovo-vegetarian myself, I sympathize with her), though I do agree she used too much Laps Cock.
How would you feel if you had a fundie family who mocked you on your birthday about your atheism? And the "us carnivores are the superior species" comment sounds very Trumplike (even though you hate Trump).
And did you really have to use that gif? Now I have to run away and bleach my eyes.
@Arceus
"How would you feel if you had a fundie family who mocked you on your birthday about your atheism?"
Well, as my father was a hardcore Atheist, and my mother had a 'Take it or Leave it' attitude to religion, I feel nothing.
...although I do feel that I perhaps came on a bit strong with my previous quote. As did that punch to Toori's bollocks in the above scene from "Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon "! OOG! >_< X3
Crushed Nuts? No, it's just the way I walk! X3
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
