30 Times Vegans Were Caught Gatekeeping When They Really Should’ve Just Kept Their Mouth Shut
Gatekeeping is the activity during which someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to an identity and its goods.
Like the time when a guy said watching Star Wars movies and liking them does not make you a Star Wars fan.
But instead of telling you about this phenomenon, we decided to show you more examples of it.
After doing a bit of research, we landed on a subreddit of the same name (r/gatekeeping) and quickly realized that probably all communities have their "guardians."
This time, however, we'll focus on vegans. Not because we have something against them or anything. It's just that their gatekeepers are as funny as they are popular on Reddit.

Because Heaven Forbid Non-Vegans Eat Vegan Foods
tofu isn’t just for vegans i eat tofu and i’m not vegan
Load More Replies...'Tofu is strictly for vegetarians.' Well, guess there goes 2000 years of Chinese history.
What in the actual vegan f%^&? "Appropriating" and "strictly for vegans" come on and to make it worse they're saying tofu like vegans invented it.
It's like they think tofu is a precious commodity that will run out one day and must be guarded against meat eaters.
Load More Replies...If only vegans can eat tofu, that product will soon be made by a very limited number of manufacturers. Good luck finding it.
Apparently I'm Not A Vegan, Even Though I Don't Buy Animal Products. There Are Toxic People In Every Community
I hope orange doesn't drink water, it's essentially stealing fish habitat, lets see how long they last until they are craving it.
A question for the vegans: Would you eat eggs from well-treated pet chickens and ducks, that are given the run of a country mini-farm, where they can eat whatever natural foods they like in addition to their chicken feed? No judgement either way, I'm just curious because a friend has those chickens.
I was vegan for several years, and I started eating eggs and limited dairy if they came from a life and home as you describe.
Load More Replies...Vegetarian 5 plus years. I used to love pepperoni and crave it but just choose not to eat it. I stopped eating meat after doing a research paper on how humans feel they are superior to animals. It doesn't mean I never liked meat ever in my life. Just had to change my life style to match my views.
I have a vegetarian friend and I remember at the beginning it was harder for her to resist the temptation to eat meat. Now she's great about it though.
Give me a BREAK... ur way of life is UR choice! Fine! Stop acting like it's a cult.
To change your diet is always difficult, because you're not only missing food you're used to eat, but food wares that belong to your family's culture.
Vegan diets are usually chosen in teens or adulthood. So food cravings not in any way bad. I will never understand the all or nothing attitudes to anything people. You're trying to loose weight but you ate a single piece of candy. You're not going loose weight if you eat a piece chocolate. I told you couldn't stay on your diet.
But even if we disregard, let's call them, extreme vegans such as the ones we see in the pictures, many people are still wary of this community. To understand them a little better, let's look at the situation from their perspective.
"The caution around our dietary requirements is arguably warranted," Dejan Jotanovic wrote in The Guardian. "Many assert that veganism just isn’t an option to a large chunk of the population. The labour and cost of sifting through nutritional requirements, alongside inflated pricing for plant-based meat alternatives, is often too great."
Jotanovic also raised the issue of food accessibility. "Many live in areas – popularly termed 'food deserts' – where access to fresh produce or even supermarkets is difficult. Meat, dairy and other animal products are also staples to a variety of cultural and religious groups. In Australia, for example, our overtly masculine and sunburnt culture has a real appetite for red meat, namely beef, as per the annual promotional campaigns. The intersections of class, race, culture and veganism makes for a recipe that’s pretty damn hard to swallow."

Would she be happier if we played an "In Memoriam" vid during the barbeque?
In fact, I would search for my name, like with those Coca Cola bottles a few years ago.
Is the joke here that people's individualism expands into the existence of other beings? When someone decides to have 12 children, it certainly reduces my 1 child's chance of sustaining life and happiness. When people make a habit of eating animals larger than themselves, it has - effects. For the animal, the planet and themselves. We agree not to smoke indoors. We should agree not to eat meat. We are too many people, and the alternatives to the suffering are great.
For those of you saying that the cow is already dead so why not eat it-- I've been vegetarian or vegan for over half my life, and it's about the long haul. If there's less demand, there will be eventually less animals slaughtered. I do not want to contribute now or in the future to the slaughter.
However, Jotanovic argues that most people find vegans annoying because "it's one of the only social justice causes whose point of entry is entirely negotiated by real, quantifiable, fundamental behavior change."
"Everyone thinks of themselves as a good person. But it's much easier to slap 'Feminist as F**k' on your T-shirt and #BlackLivesMatter in your Twitter bio than it is to actively support animal welfare and the climate through an upheaval of your current lifestyle."
Vegan Gatekeeping
I've heard of people putting their (Carnivorous) pets on a vegan diet. Maybe they're saying that if you have one and don't make it vegan, then you're not vegan by extension? EDIT: Just to be 100% clear, I do NOT condone putting carnivorous animals on vegan diets. That is abusing them and depriving them of nutrients. That's just what I've heard and think might be going on here. Thanks for the upvotes :)
Load More Replies...cats are natural carnivores, while humans are omnivores. if you force your cat to be vegan, you are being even more cruel, as they suffer from a lack of meat while they are alive. at least the cat's meat is dead and can no longer feel pain, but if you deprive a cat of meat you are literally torturing a living being.
The concept of veganism is rather destroyed by saying "vegans can't have pets", because pets were domesticated and rely on humans at this point. Animals such as goats, chickens, and cows were also domesticated, and they were domesticated for meat, milk, and eggs. Without humans, these animals wouldn't be the same, so why can't we use them for the purpose they were bred? I'm 100% against animal cruelty and I understand being vegetarian or vegan, I just don't get forcing it on others or coming up with crazy rules about it for no good reason. I think that animals should die of natural causes before consumption, rather than cruel slaughter, but eating animals and animal products has long been part of the human diet. Just my thoughts.
I'm vegetarian and I agree with that completely. Either wait for the animal to die of natural causes, or go hunt/kill, clean and prepare the animal yourself.
Load More Replies...I have 2 cats and the last thing I would even consider would be feeding vegan people to them. Too stringy.
Perhaps they want you to give cat a vegan diet - therefore abusing cats. Is that what this person wants? If we all did this, would the cats fight back? Mine is very loving, but I'm fairly sure if I skipped a wet meal he would eat me in my sleep.
Load More Replies...That's one of the very annoying vegans that give all others a bad name. 99% of the vegans I know have pets AND don't force their diet on their pet if it's not suitable. My cat eats mostly meat, my rats eat some meat, my degus don't eat any. Easy like that.
Exactly. Vegan nearly a decade, but still rescued an old and absolutely adorable deaf kitty. His owner had died and kitty was just thrown outside to fend for himself. Nearly skin and bones when I got him. Now he’s a happy cuddly chubster, living his best life.
Load More Replies...Would you kill off all predators in the world because they eat meat?? The world would drown in starving vegan deer and moose!!!
Okay this is a pet peeve of mine cats are carnivores. Don't put your cats on a vegan diet. This is why I hypothesize vegan diets either make people stupid or just don't understand dietary needs of other creatures. I'm sure there are plenty of vegan cat owners who know pets need diets that differ from a vegan diet.
Apparently You Have To Be A Vegan To Post About An Animal Rescue
I enjoy bacon and seafood, but I fed more strays and rescued more animals than you, broccoli and lettuce murderers
I'm a second-hand vegan. Cow eats grass, I eat cow! 🤣/s
Load More Replies...I have a rescue cat - but don’t worry, I have no plans to eat him, he looks like he’s be kinda chewy and not very filling
I kinf of agree with more extreme cases of this. Not animal rescue, but people getting outraged about specific cases animal cruelty (which is fair) to the point of wishing the pereptators a slow and painful death (getting quite extreme), but then not caring about what happens behind the closed doors of slaughterhouses. Do cows, pigs and chickens not deserve the same respect as an endangered rhino or Cecile the lion? I know, the former are killed for for food, the latter for fun, which IS a big difference. But please get of your high horse and take it down a notch when wishing people death and torture for animal abuse, while eating meat yourself.
Rescuing animals has nothing to do with what you eat. Yes there are a few like cows that I eat but I have rescued lots of cats and dogs. So shut up if you don't know what you're talking about
Animal agriculture is animal abuse. Then there is a bunch of less abusive farm situations where you all claim to get your animal products from. I work year round rescuing stray dogs, and i suffer from the knowledge that pigs are raised to feed dogs. I use dog rescue to as a gateway to introduce people to veganism. The carnivore hierarchy does not make sense in the world we live in. When we lead with empathy, we can actually change things.
Your view is a bit skewed. I applaud your rescue of stray dogs but at the same time, I wonder why you don't rescue pigs instead? If you suffer from the knowledge that pigs are used to feed dogs, why not rescue the pig instead?, the SPCA and other agencies rescue cats and dogs ALL the time. PIGS are hardly ever rescued, you would be doing the community a service and saving, the unwanted swine species as well! Pigs are very intelligent and very social and make great pets in certain settings. Please put your energies towards the pigs, they need you!
Load More Replies...So non-vegans are required by vegans to never have any mercy for any animal under any circumstance? That's... Weird.
Hypocrites vs. Real Vegans
Wrong. You're a hypocrite for being vegan and wanting people to know you don't want to hurt living creatures but don't mind hurting humans by not getting vaccinated. Idiot.
The explanation here is that vaccines are tested on animals. I get it is not cool but I think about the greater good. I am a vegan myself but if a vaccine or other medication can potentially save millions of lives… go for it.
Some vaccines are breed on animal based culture methods, or based on animal's bacterial strains. And may vaccines are researched and tested on animals, befor they get approved for humans. But being vegan is not excuse for not getting vaccinated.
Load More Replies...you still shouldn't. vegans are people, which means that, just like non-vegans, a lot of them are idiots and a few of them aren't.
Load More Replies...So, vegans should not vaccinate themselves? Schools need children to be vaccinated to stop the spread of diseases. If this post meant anything, all vegans would be dead because of diseases they chose to have. Your health is more important then the #Realvegan you can put on your social media.
Vegan Gatekeeping
I wonder how many vegans are volunteering to replace blind peoples guide dogs?
Wow imagine living a life so white and "societally" able bodied that you can't imagine the blind having independence or the epileptic getting to a safe place, or the diabetic getting their meds before they go into a coma. Or a s&xually abused child have a pet that comforts them and loves them while they testify or are in therapy. Humanity is a lot more complicated then just saying no animals ever in any capacity ever. Bomb dogs? Grateful! Magawa the rat?? Who was trained and sniffed out over 100 landmines in Cambodia? Saving countless lives and limbs? That rat is a hero and I guarantee was treated as such. The search and rescue dogs? 911? Oklahoma City? Geez....
honestly I don’t get why people are against service animals… the animals like doing their job… if they didn’t they would become aggressive. Also it’s not like the dogs are being beaten. It’s quite the opposite actually. Their being rewarded all day long
I doubt anyone against service animals has actually spent any time near one.
Load More Replies...If you thought Kobe Beef was expensive wait until you see the price of service pig bacon.
Load More Replies...Vegan definition: someone who chooses not to eat anything derived from animals or fish, including eggs, milk, and cheese.....Where do service animals come into this conversation. I'm so confused. Now if you don't mind, my seizure alert dog and I are going out for a burger.
That's a good one. What are they posting, recipes for how to serve service dog?
However, Jotanovic understands that vegans are constantly splashing around in their own hypocrisy too.
"What we need to do instead is look internally and reconsider what it means to care," he said. "I can, for example, say that I care about labour exploitation around the world, but it's obviously not bountiful enough considering my current purchasing habits. Saying that we care for absolutely everything – because we want to be deemed as fundamentally good – just isn’t sustainable or done with any real integrity."
Ok So Called Vegan
Trying to impose a vegan diet on a non vegan animal is just straight up cruel.
There are no vegan animals. Veganism is an entirely human concept.

It's illegal in my country to make your cat vegan. I'm so grateful for living in the country ranking first on the animal welfare index.
Oh Lord... Reminds me of the stupid YouTuber that put her fennec fox on a vegan diet. These people just shouldn't own any kind of pets.
Vegans who try to make cats live on a vegan diet don't love animals. They love their smug sense of moral self-superiority.
And dogs are vegan??? Yeah, now I remember: the natural prey of a wolf is the feral running carrot. God, people...
'the feral running carrot'. I'm picturing a carrot running about.

That's animal cruelty. No "but...." it's animal cruelty and you shouldn't have a pet if you want a carnivorous pet to be vegan.

So... let's conclude that high quality bioaccessable protein is crucial for the brain to develope properly during childhood.
Born and raised vegan....so you've never had milk, cheese or egg? You've never had Jell-o as a kid? You didn't eat a sandwich that had an ant in it? You've never swallowed a fly? Lol
So there is a tier system within veganism and the born vegans are of a higher caste than vegan converts? My brain hurts. Time to leave this thread. Peace out.

No. Absolutely untrue. Look at Mediterranean food. Salads are always exciting full of flavour. But they will happily devour any part of an animal.

Only Vegans Are Allowed To Care About The Environment
But methane coming from cow farts is causing global warming. So isn't eating the cows so there'd be less a good thing?
technically, but when you kill them all their methane is released so it's kinda the same whether you eat them or don't, i could be wrong about that part so feel free to correct me. This next part i'm sure about though. when people eat meat, then they breed more cows. so eating more meat leads to more cows because of supply and demand.
Load More Replies...Just eating *less meat* would make a HUGE difference: e.g. the Meatless Monday campaign. (If just over 30% of the USA were to participate for a year, it would be the equivalent of taking 1.6 million cars off the road for that duration.)
I don't think it's the animals existence, it's the extensive farming that is being blamed for climate change here. The idea being, that the cow takes more resources to grow and nurture to slaughter so you can eat it, when you could have just used some of those resources to feed people
You don't have to be vegan to safe the planet, but intensive farming of animals is polluting, considering that the 80% of the field are cultivated to feed them, consuming also an impressive amount of water. Don't be vegan (or, yeah, be vegan), but at least be conscious!
If you care about climate change, you don't want to shut down your allies, vegan or not.
i would be pretty tempted to shove a drumstick let into his mouth and yelling at him to shut up
Regardless of their diet, most people recognize that factory farming is a moral problem. Nearly 70% of Americans have "some discomfort with the way animals are used in the food industry."
Things is, many simply believe that going vegetarian or vegan is too demanding — and too annoying — to be sustainable.
My Sister Is Eating My Vegan Ice Cream... But She's Not Vegan?
But.... the more people eat vegan ice cream, the more gets produced. And production costs drop.
And the fewer animals get mistreated (according to their views), which was the goal? Puzzling.
Load More Replies...I misread the first part of the post. I was with her when I thought she meant her sister was eating the ice cream she bought specifically for herself to eat. Like, yeah, that's rude, buy your own ice cream, sis. Continued reading and realized she is upset that sister eats that type of ice cream at all. Unless this is a super rare, limited edition vegan dessert made from a single plant grown in a unicorn pasture, sister can enjoy whatever food she likes.
I used to order a veggie burger from A&W because they are actually really good. The damn cashier would ask if I'm vegetarian and be baffled because sometimes I would order a regular burger. So annoying. Just shut up and ring me up so I can enjoy the food I want to eat.
How do people not realize that food and are literally a resources already here on this planet? All the food we eat regrows or we produce it from the resources on earth. There is plenty for everyone and I don't understand why people think there isn't enough.
You can leave me out of this. I'll have my icecream made with lactose-free cream, thank you very much.
Look for Jersey cow milk products. I've read that lactose intolerance is because most milk is Guernsey. (Been a while, you better check that)
Load More Replies...I mean TBH, I would be annoyed with my sister for eating my ice cream. Vegan or not. It's MY ICE CREAM.
Heh, if your sister pays for it, she can eat whatever she wants and as much of it as she wants. If you buy it specifically for yourself, I'd say it's okay to ask her not to eat it, or to buy her own.

eganism is a form of prejudice. Also real vegans don't take b12 which is derived from milk... FYI the founder of the vegan movement did such for that reason... He died of vitamin B12 deficiency ... Don't be vegan it's bad for the environment and is evil Native peoples give thanks and realize there must be harmony in diet... both plant and animals because we are all one... Vegans say animals are better because they belive plants aren't sentient. Nor are plants as valuable as animals... that is predjudice... evil and wrong.
They use bone char in the refining process to make sugar white. White sugar usually isn't vegan as an animal has had to die to produce it.

These People Give Vegans A Bad Rep
I share my chicken dinner with my cat...so you're saying I don't love my cat? Are you ready to defend that because Mr. Fuzzyboots would disagree.

Case in point, we have 4 rescue Chihuahuas that live inside the house, sleep in our king size bed despite them having their own beds, monthly subscription to barkbox, taking up real estate on our laps every time any one sits down are so terribly neglected and unloved as they prance around the grill and smoker because they all know there is some choice bones and pieces of meat waiting for them.
This is what is so maddening about the 'vegan debate. Humans are omnivores so we have a choice in regards to our diet. If we 'don't care' about animals because we choose to eat meat but animals that are carnivores eat meat that is a pretty anthropocentric view point. In other words humans think too highly about ourselves and see ourselves superior to every species on this planet. We named ourselves "wise man" for goodness sakes SMH!
Most Vegans don't talk about the uncomfortable parts of Veganism. Vegans Fart more because we to are Omnivores and we must eat things that have more protein than Veggies. The roughage in our gut is hard for us to digest too. Look at your Poop after eating Corn on the cob!

Its like it's never good enough. And there's a difference between veganism for ethical reasons and veganism for health reasons. What I personally see on the right is a health nut using "veganism" as righteous fury. The left side tells me that they'll eat whatever is available to keep themselves from eating animals.
This isn't an example of the Vegan Police; it is a "clean eating" fanatic...

My hubby is a vegan and doesn't eat vegetables unless they're curried.
IF YOU DONT WANNA EAT MEAT THEN WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE A SUBSTITUTE FOR SAUSAGES ANYWAY
I thought this one was just anti-vegan, lol. I eat like thw pic on the right, but with fish/meat. And most of my vegetarian friends hate vegetables and eat like the pic on the left.
I think it quite common.... vegan being proud to not eat animal related product and looking down on people that does but then you see what they eat and it's like the picture on the left and you look at the ingredients and it's not healtier... it's way worst when you see the amount of crap they put in it... .at least I know a vegan like this...
Subconsciously, people don't hate vegans. In a 2017 study, for instance, researchers tracked the meal purchases of over 300 people at a Stanford University cafe who were asked to fill out a survey while waiting in line.
Some patrons were told that a fixed minority of Americans reduce their meat consumption. Others were told that these people represent an increasing trend in those avoiding meat. Patrons in the second group were almost twice as likely to order vegetarian meals when they reached the cashier.

But social influence can quickly stagnate if people start behaving just like we see in these pictures. Moral superiority not only turns us off, but it also makes us defensive.
Studies have shown that negative attitudes toward vegetarians, for example, stem from anticipated moral reproach. In other words, we care so deeply about seeing ourselves as morally just that a mere whiff of virtue signaling or grandstanding puts our guard up.

Well don't they sort of have a point? A lot of plant-based eaters I know it only extends to food. Which is still good I would think, but vegans aren't supposed to use any byproducts including honey or say a sea sponge for bathing, or wear leather, fur etc. Although I've never understood why wearing leather or fur that you purchased second hand or something is bad. The animal already died. You're not contributing to the over consumption of materials when you by second hand and I hate to say it but well made actual leather goods last a life time as opposed to cheap plastic crap.
You have a point. I still don’t understand why they’re against wearing wool. Sheep have to be sheared, it’s unhealthy for them not to be. Is it better to throw away fleece than to clothe people? That’s not sarcasm. I’ve yet to get an answer other than “it comes from sheep.”

Bro. I’m not a vegan. Does that mean I have to throw away my banana pudding recipe?
Wow.. My mother made banana bread her whole life, she must have been vegan 20 years before the word was invented. She also made an awesome vegan pot roast.

They...the animals... They do know that milking a cow doesn't hurt them right? And people don't kill chickens for eggs? Like, those things don't really harm them. I don't think anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Errr. Respectfully disagree with you there. In terms of animal suffering, dairy and egg production are far worse than meat production. It may not hurt to milk a cow, but dairy cows have to process so many calories in a day to produce the obscene amount of milk they do that their bodies suffer terribly. They have very high rates of mastitis (agonising) and foot problems. That's without factoring in the inherent cruelty of removing their calves year after year after year.

Load More Replies...Tbf there are facts here. Cows aren't mated in the traditional sense, the farmer does it with a syringe full of bull semen, because the bull can't mount that many females and may end up hurting them. When the calf is old enough to wean, they are taken from their mothers so the cow can continue to produce milk for human consumption and yes, some of the calves do cry for their mothers and vice versa. This much is common knowledge and common practice.
It's cause they are forced to become pregnant nearly every year of their lives. Cows, like all mammals, begin to make milk when they give birth. Milk production rises after calving, then naturally declines unless the cow has another calf. Cows are bred to become pregnant to complete the cycle. I'm sorry, but it's truth. Don't downvote, all I did was find this on the internet. Do with this information what you will.
