Someone cares to explain why this comment gets downvoted?

We have regulars here, who presumably don't like veganism but refuse to block a community they don't like so that with each login they can express their disapproval through a downvote on each new c/vegan post.

I think yall are overcomplicating it; I don't think these downvotes have anything to do with the whales. For the open-minded, reasonable, and thoughtful lot who serially downvote here, it's as simple as vegan = bad. And calling a vegan activist a hero = WTF?!@# 🤬🤬🤬 🤯

That's wild. I was expecting him to be in prison for something legitimate

lol It's pretty hard to take the amalgamation of "vegan" and "goon" seriously by anyone using it unironically 🤣
