r/vegan’s meaner cousin who’s been to prison before.
A self-professed “ethical vegan hatespace” and vegan meme page on Reddit where it is against the rules for non-vegans to post, it is where vegans go to vent their general baseline misanthropy for about 99% of the world population, gatekeep veganism and throw away the key, and tell each other to “be very careful John 👍.” The community happily leans into every vegan stereotype in the books, sincerely uses the term “carnist” and variations of it on the regular, hates Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods for doing animal testing, and accuses r/vegan of carnist boot-licking.
TL;DR: The largest subreddit for people whose ideology matches that of the Animal Liberation Front.
The most highly-upvoted r/vegancirclejerk post of 2021 was a screenshot of a post from Alex J. O’Connor on Twitter about how the satirical subreddit r/DogDiet, which was about “all things dog meat,” was banned from Reddit, but r/bbq and r/meat remain unbanned. The post warns r/bbq and r/meat posters to “just make sure you don’t post the wrong animal, you might get banned.”

r/vegancirclejerk is a sarcastic humor based subreddit where vegans speak the rhetoric that meat eaters say to justify meat eating or criticize veganism. The purpose is to self-ridicule using the anti-vegan arguments. It is a meme subreddit with no deeper meaning but sometimes to expose the hypocrisy and absurdity of the meat eaters' claims.
The previous definition says that r/vegancirclejerk is mean. r/vegancirclejerk is not mean. There is a lot of shadow projection on vegans. If you feel empathy and compassion for animals, you would treat them the same way you want yourself or your loved ones to be treated.
The above definition says that r/vegancirclejerk is radical and claims that r/vegan sympathizes with meat eaters. Think of any value in your life that you think is unethical (for example, cheating on your partner or stealing in store or abusing a waiter in restaurant) and observe your behaviour when somebody does the unethical thing. Put yourself in the shoes of vegans and see where the radicalism comes from. It is not a civil war. We are in it together. #AnimalLiberation
For example, there is a post on r/vegancirclejerk which says "Those who cannot change the world alone are exempt from being vegan". This illustrates the argument that some meat eaters make that their actions are insignificant. The underlying meaning is that one person matters. One person influences many people in their lifetime. If one person becomes vegan, more animals will NOT be born for their consumption. It is not the fault of animals that they are born in a body that is only seen for consumption and lacks inherent right to life.
