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.

    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."

    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."

    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."

    Please please please adopt a bun if you want a vegan pet. They love to share veggies! And they can be litter box trained and free roam, so once you learn to look out underfoot, they’re not much different from a small dog or cat. Super lovely pets, but they need your attention.

    Humans are not obligate carnivores, however we are natural omnivores. Don't sell me the BS about evolving beyond the need to eat meat. If we had not eaten meat we never would have evolved the brains to argue about it being wrong or right to consume it. Vegans do not have the moral high ground they do religiously claim to own.

    There is no "veganism" in the animal world. Just because Koalas only eat a specific type of plant doesn't make them "vegan". It just means that their digestive system adapted to a specific habitat to ensure their survival. It's not a choice they made. Humans deciding to "go vegan" has nothing to do with survival, it's a choice we can afford to make. Why? Because we as a species are omnivores.

    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.

    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.

    I'm so sick and tired of ill informed people calling forests 'the lungs of the planet' They're exactly the sodding opposite of lungs. Lungs absorb oxygen and exhale CO2, you nitwits.

    Why can't we apparently eat eggs? Is it because we have eggs inside us? People do realize we aren't eating our own eggs, right?

    Again! People have there own reasons for being vegan, why does it hurt you if they are vegans for health reasons? They are still helping!

    Durably reducing your own consumption of animal products offers “social proof” of its viability. It demonstrates to those around you that a plant-based diet is consistent with being healthy and enjoying the food on your plate.

    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.

    I don't even think vegans care about animals. They're just cold people who hate other people and are trying SO hard to prove to everyone how self-righteous they are and think they're better than everyone. These people are usually in the same group of anti-vaxxers, so no surprise there. I don't hear of them volunteering to help animals or starting an organization to help farmers with better humane farming practices.

    So you're laughing at people who are at least making attempts to help the environment. What is it with Vegans and the apparent need for some of them to control everything good for the environment. If anything they should be happy anyone's trying despite what they eat.

    If I remember correctly, the Amazon was burning because the farmers were setting fire to it so they could have more fertile land to produce their soy on…..or was it palm oil? I’m sure it was something plant based………
