That's a small but loud minority.

I don't see any other vegans calling them down for it

You're gettin downvoted, but you're right. It's the metric we're coming to use for any group. It's "okay" if your group has some fringe members that need to be distanced from. It becomes "not okay" when the majority silently accepts the horrible behavior of them.

Similarly, very few cops take abusive actions against minorities, but the number of cops who will defend that behavior in the name of "police brotherhood" closes in at 100%.

People who are downvoting you are out-of-touch with the fact that they are "the good cop who does nothing" in their own group.

No, I'm comparing people who cover for assholes with people who cover for assholes.

There's a block button if you want to use it. And a report button if you think I broke any rules. I, for one, just hit the latter.
