It’s as annoying as someone bragging about big ol’ raw steaks and ribs and such, like they have been doing in the Texas political stuff lately. Both as a smear (“look at this pussy non-Texan!”) and a defense (“I do love ribs, I really do!”) and it all comes across the same way to me.

Truthfully, neither types of statements personally bother me, but given everything we know about the climate, economics, etc., the vegans are better and easier to defend.
