I know it is nitpicking but veganism is an ethical stance. I applaud everyone for eating less animals products and a mostly plant based diet is awesome. However, calling yourself mostly vegan is as accurate as calling yourself mostly muslim. Which i guess is possible but god damn confusing for everyone else.

This is the dumbest fucking take ever, and you’re the reason people shit all over vegans. Everything you said after “however” is just nonsense.
Do everyone a favor and just applaud the person for eating less meat. Not everyone can eat like a rabbit overnight. It usually takes steps and time. Stop gatekeeping, it’s a bad look.
Do everyone a favor and either engage in arguments or shut up. I do not care about you feeling offended at another conversation. You can call yourself vegan and eat meat all day for all i care. It is just stupid, thats all.
Meeting baseline criteria is not gatekeeping but caring about the meaning of words. It is not that the person called themselves vegan and i said they are not. I said there is no such thing as mostly vegan but your reading skills seem to be on the same level as your arguing skills.
At this point i feel like every thing has been said. I have absolutely no problem with you, your points or your diet.
I think it is rather rude to start the conversation with “this is the dumbest fucking take ever” and then not even tell me why. That might be a reason why my answer to that person was also quite rude, but i could not help it. Excuse me.
Yes, because its not making sense. This would make you still a vegetarian. While this behaviour might fit your own views it does not really fit the definition veganism holds.
Again, id say it is akin to saying you are an atheist and a christian at the same time. It is nonsensical.
Veganism is closer to a believe than a diet. If you do not hold the ethical believe most people will feel it to be actually offensive to their ethical stance ( if you call yourself a vegan while getting animal produtcs from time to time).
Why not say you mostly eat plant based?
I’m mostly vegan

You think it’s confusing if I say I I’m half vegan half vegetarian?
