"I'm not vegan but..." pro-vegan take Reaction: Positive. "I'm vegan and..." same pro-vegan take Reaction: Negative. ???

Anyone noticed this? Do people only want to listen to people who are hypocritical like them because it makes them feel less insecure or judged?

I think it's as simple as projecting their guilt to tear down the person making them feel guilty.

Feeling guilty is hard. Feeling angry is easy and fun!

Absolutely YES.

We'll wait for your paper. I suggest you put less creative writing in it.

You would hope so, but I strongly disagree that would really happen.
