Believe it or not, there are some things
that I hate about veganism...
and then I'm like: what? like... wait a minute, I just... I'm gonna have a nosebleed in a second
Hi, welcome to my channel (welcome to my chanel). My name is Zuzia
I post every week, or I usually do, so if you haven't
subscribed please do already it would
mean a lot to me
do you know when you use somebody else's anti-sweating
device and it just stinks
not because you're sweaty but because
you don't like the smell of the
anti- sweating device. That's what I did today
and I honestly don't know how people use
this. I'm not here to talk about anti
sweating devices today I am here to talk
about veganism and what I hate the most
about veganism so if you want to find
out just keep on watching
what I hate about veganism it's not really about veganism itself it's more about vegans I think it's important to kind of
talk about what veganism is. I'm just gonna
read the vegan society definition just
to make sure we're on the same page. Just
like with any philosophy because
veganism is a philosophy it does have
its own definition so it can't be
something else for everyone just like
feminism or anti racism anything any
philosophy you want to talk about for
that matter. What veganism is...
I'm just gonna read it out. "Veganism is a
way of living which seeks to exclude as
far as is possible in practical or all
forms of exploitation of and cruelty to
animals for food clothing or any other
purposes". If we want to use in other
words being vegan is taking an active
stance against animal exploitation
what is really really
annoying to me and what I hate about
veganism is that people do not
understand its definition and use it to
describe something else something that
veganism is not. You can see for
yourselves if you knew the definition of
veganism so I totally understand where
the misconceptions are coming from and I
understand that not everyone's gonna
know the definition of veganism as the
philosophy that's why I'm here and
that's what I wanted to talk about so
again getting back to what I hate about
veganism it's not gonna be really what I
hate about veganism but about people
who use the term veganism and about
people who call themselves vegans I've
got nothing against people really I love
everyone who cares about environment I
love everyone who cares about their health
who cares about anything really that's
great if you care about something good
for you and if you're a vegan or a vegan
activist let me know down below if you
agree with what I'm saying right now
I've met a lot of people who said that
they were vegan and I was like wow
that's amazing because I am vegan too and
it means that we hold the same values
that we want to fight for the liberation
of animals and we want the world to be a
better place, we want to abolish
speciesism discrimination of animals
based on species I meet these people and
then I start talking to them and they're
like yeah well I'm vegan but I eat
cheese every Saturday and then I'm like
what like wait wait a minute like I just
I'm gonna have a nosebleed in a second I
don't hate you for it I'm just a little
bit upset that you use the word vegan
and you don't mean it because think
about this can you really be anti-racist
or not be homophobic and just say well
I'm not homophobic but I just have this
one day in a week where I insult LGBTQ+ people oh I am anti-racist but
just on Sundays I use racial slurs and I
just use that time to kind of express my
emotions about race and on that day I
don't think all people are equal
no I don't think anyone
would say that it makes sense if anyone
did I'd be seriously worried so let's
take it back to the veganism example if you
say I'm vegan but I eat cheese every
Saturday what it essentially means that
you are against animal exploitation and
for animal liberation and for animal
rights but on Saturdays you leave all
your moral rules or your ethics and you
just like today I don't use my ethics
I'm not a moral person today and I abuse
animals every Saturday
I hope it makes sense by now and I hope it is
clear why saying that you're a vegan yet
eating animal products is upsetting
another example is a person who tells me
that they're vegan but they don't
really care about animals they do it for
the environment again I'm just like what
are you talking about you are a vegan
which means you are against animal exploitation
and for animal liberation
but you don't care about animals at all and
it's not about animals for you
veganism is about animals it's not about
anything else
it's not about environment it's not
about health these are just really cool
things that happen when you go vegan as
well you help the environment and you
help your health as well but this is not
what veganism is I think it's very
important to see the difference and
again I don't hate these people it just
makes me very upset
because the next time I'm gonna say to
someone who wants to take me to a
chicken nugget place and I'm just gonna
say sorry no thanks I'm vegan and
they're just gonna be like oh okay so
you just don't eat this and that is that
because you think it's cool or is that
because you want to be healthy or is it
for the environment and you see where I'm getting like people just start having
this false idea of what veganism is they
think they know what veganism is but
they really don't and it makes it really
hard to introduce them to what veganism is
so I'm just like why did people think
that where did they get this from and
I'm like they get it from
vegans they get it from people who call
themselves vegan but they really are not
vegan they just use this term I don't
know why maybe they didn't understand it
before as well again again again no hate
towards these people I love everyone
just you do you but please don't use the
word "vegan" if you're not against animal
exploitation and for animal liberation
because it creates this false idea of
veganism and it makes people
misunderstand the whole concept one more
reason why is it so important to me
because veganism is a social justice
movement it's a movement that seeks to
exclude animal cruelty from our society
and to just condemn an animal abuse and
animal exploitation give animals right
just basic right and just yeah the right
to live free from harm and you're trying
to advocate for animals you tried to
explain to people that veganism is a
philosophy it's a way of life to exclude
animal exploitation etc etc and they just
say oh no but I heard veganism is about
being popular and being cool because
it's cool lately or it's about the
planet so you can eat cheese on
Saturdays this is not what it is about
and that's why it's all important to me
imagine this okay imagine this imagine
that
you miss a person and this person says
well I'm a feminist and what it means is
that I do not eat cashew nuts and you
are a feminist too and you're like what
on earth are you talking about they say
that oh because I heard that cashew nuts
are not like super healthy for you and
that growing these nuts requires abuse
of women and you're like well yeah that
makes sense because growing cashew nuts
it's not the most ethical thing ever
it's true that especially women get do
get exploited but this person completely
misunderstood what feminism is and
thought that eating cashew nuts is not
cool and that not eating it is really
cool so they're just going to start
doing it and they're gonna tell other
people that they're a feminist which
means that they do not consume said nuts
I know you might say like leave it be
like it doesn't really matter it doesn't
really make any difference right but
imagine that half of the people who call
themselves feminists advocate for not
eating cashew nuts because it's not cool
like it doesn't really make any sense
does it you just want to ensure equal
rights for men and women and just create
a better world people take this idea
that feminism is and people take it and
completely just change it and then pass
it on to other people and then you say
you're a feminist and you're completely
misunderstood and you can't really do
much about it you can just try and talk
to people and try to get them to
understand but it makes it really
difficult I think so yeah and again just
imagine this person says oh I don't eat
cashew nuts but I'm not really for equal
right maybe women are worse than men
or maybe men are worse than women and I
don't think we should have equal rights
and be equally important add this to
that and you just have this and you have
this grotesque thing that is not feminism
and I don't know what it is
and that's what's happening with
veganism that's what people make
veganism look like they just make
something funny out of it they disregard
the most important thing that is in it
all animal exploitation and animal abuse
and cruelty to animals which we can just
live without really easily because it's
so easy to be vegan it's not for
health it's not to be cool it's just to
extend your circle of compassion to
other beings not only humans that is a
very emotional topic to me let me know
down below if you understood what I
was talking about I hope it can help
someone understand things a little bit
better leave thumbs up if you like this
video or share subscribe to my channel
and I'll see you all next time and go
vegan because it's cool right
bye how cute is this mug very cute innit 
oh I can see my cat through the window
and he's like smelling catnip
