At a hospital again. I woke up to stinky meat next to me. They told me they don’t have vegan food. They’re very ostensibly rude about this. Had to listen to a long tirade from the room"mate" about how carnism is natural.

I’m in a lot of pain which makes me really irritable. I really didn’t need to be made to gag with the meat.

Last time I was in a hospital they would throw meat into my food as well making sure it touched everything so I wasn’t able to eat the veggies without the corpse taste.

I don’t get why people are so malicious about it. I’m trying not to cry not to give them satisfaction. I am vegan for moral reasons. This is extremely uncomfortable.

    I wish carnists would stop brigading vegan spaces. The downvotes are fucked up.

      They probably saw this in the /all feed and, like the hospital staff, were compelled to lash out at us. Downvoting us is a cope.

        I’m vegetarian, but still downvoted most of OP’s comments. They’re being unfairly aggressive in almost all of their replies.

        If you read ops responses, they’re being abusive to people. That’s why I’m down voting op.

        I don’t think there is a conspiracy honestly. OP’s just treating a lot of people badly, and it’s not normal to be calling people dickwads or whatever.

        They even write in their post they were irritable, which suggests they were possibly treating the staff poorly too

          I’ve read their responses and they’ve been perfectly reasonable, especially considering the fact that they’re being mistreated in the hospital and don’t have anything to eat.

          And, conspiracy? You don’t think hospital staff who perceive that they are being treated poorly might decide to treat OP poorly in retaliation?

        They’re brigading this post hard. I’m gonna commit the heinous act of eating a banana (which I thankfully got yesterday). 🍌

        Im really thankful for you being here. 🥺 I am literally too vulnerable for this crap.
