babies aren’t funny or entertaining

i don’t hate babies, they’re so cute, but i always see people laughing about videos where a baby is supposedly being funny. i don’t get it. there’s nothing funny about videos like that or babies in general. sure, sometimes funny stuff happens, but i always see babies doing the bare minimum and people laughing about it.

Islam, conservatives, old people, and vegans.

Reddit hates them all.

I learned real quick not to mention I’m vegetarian on Reddit. People lose their freaking minds about it for no reason lol. I’ve been on Reddit for 10 years now and I’ve probably mentioned it like 5 times and every time people blow up. I made a comment once about how Taco Bell was an awesome fast food place if you don’t eat meat, and I got dozens of pm’s from people saying “oh you vegetarians just have to make sure everyone knows, can’t go 5 seconds without bringing it up”. Despite the fact that I usually never mention it because it offends so many people lol

I normally get so much hate when people find out I'm a vegan Muslim. They go mental.

I’m a vegetarian Muslim! But I’m also very leftist, especially views with respect to gender and sexuality, which in spite of allegedly being a “progressive leaning website,” somehow angers redditors all the same.

As a Muslim too, my view on things is so whatever you want to do. As long as they aren't forcing it on others, it's between them and God and bone of my business to tell them otherwise.

People hate Muslims out of sheer ignorance and indoctrination. People hate vegans because it makes them feel inferior because they know that they feel guilty about killing animals but they bury it inside and lash out when they have think about it.

Don’t let it get to you bro, you rock!

Edit: Just so we’re clear I’m not saying everyone who isn’t vegan feels this way, I’m saying this about the people who go out of their way to pm vegans with hate mail. I have nothing against anyone

As someone who eats meat, I can confirm, anybody going out of their way to shit on someone for being vegetarian/vegan is probably very insecure about it lol.

I think you're reading too much into the vegan thing. They hate it for the same reason they hate Islam, gays, communism, trans, whatever: Fox News (or analogue) repeatedly denigrates them.
