Oh no no no, veganism does not equal being gay. Oof

I love when privileged white women explain what is and isn't oppression to marginalised groups.

As a gay person of color, I finally have to unsubscribe. Defense of this woman's racism is more than offensive - it's a form of passive racism, in and of itself.

This is a woman that has built her channel around being logical, scientific and based on facts. So I find it very strange that she used a statement from one church, which at best is anecdotal evidence, to prove that the majority of Christian don't believe homosexuality is a choice.

By “veganphobia” do you mean people joking about eating meat? Because I’m pretty sure you’ve never been fired, harassed, or killed for being vegan. What an ice cold take. Unsubscribed.

You don't go to prison for being a vegan in 20 some countries...

"Or whatever about George floyd" How can someone so tone deaf speak so clearly?

Imagine asking a minority “hAve You ExpEriEnced vEganPhoBiA.” Must be nice to have the privilege to ask that🥱

i cant believe you have the nerve to tell a young black man that your experience with being teased for being vegan is on par with actual racism

I'm not making a response video to this because I'm not going to subject my viewers to yet another TVT-themed video, but I can definitely respond to your main points since I'm here. 3:49 - *"Have you experienced veganphobia? If not, does that disqualify you from talking about it? Because if it does, what is the point of this?"* I never said that not experiencing racism disqualifies you from speaking about it, though? It disqualifies you from speaking OVER those who do, which happens not just overtly but by things like entering the conversation and comparing it to your own problems that have nothing to do with your race, etc., especially when nobody discriminates against you based on your race (or sexuality, or gender, etc.) in the first place. 3:58 - *"Vegans are well known as a hated group, and while it has finally become socially unaccepted in most developed parts of the world to express anti-gay sentiment, expressing hatred for vegans is not only accepted but actively cheered on."* See my last point. You just did that exact thing I pointed out. 4:30 - *"Veganism is a choice, sure, and that obviously makes it different from racism and sexism... but homophobia?"* no stop stop stop please do not go on to imply that LGBT people get discriminated against based on choices that they've made this can't be real there's no way you're about to do that- 4:37 - *"Having that orientation isn't a choice but obviously being in a gay relationship is a choice"* Congratulations, you have just adopted thoroughly homophobic rhetoric to make a point about veganism, which is the exact behavior that I was calling out in TVT. 5:27 - *"I don't believe any of this, and I think homophobia is wrong regardless whether you're talking about choice or not, but it really suggests that he is just not very familiar with the opposition by saying that homophobia is not related to choice."* It sounds like you're not familiar with the definition of homophobia at all though? Oxford via Google says it's "dislike of or prejudice against gay people." "Gay people" is referring to their orientation that they can't change. Full stop. To imply that it has anything at all to do with choice is wrong. 6:23 - *"If, categorically, you don't like oppression, then why are you supporting oppression? Isn't that hypocritical? She's still pro-gay-rights because it's the right thing to do, even if [the gay people in question aren't vegan], but yeah, she's calling out the online LGBTQ community. It's not how I would do it, but she's not wrong."* Who told you that the LGBTQ community needs to be "called out" for not being vegan, though? You are literally singling them out precisely because they are LGBTQ and have experience with oppression, which is homophobic. "If you don't like your life of being oppressed based on things you can't control, how come you support the oppression of animals?" has to be the least empathetic "gotcha" moment I've ever heard. I'm not going to post videos singling out women who have been systematically abused and say "if you don't like sexism, why are you still racist?" because that's, well, obscene. 7:47 - *"I wish she would stop using the word selfish at all [to describe coming out as LGBTQ], it's just upsetting people, but it's not homophobic the way she's using it."* It is homophobic, though, which is why it's upsetting people. You can say unintentionally homophobic things. I have said unintentionally homophobic, racist, sexist, transphobic, ageist, etc., stuff because these things systematically work their way into our thinking because of the society in which we grew up. I've had to do the work of accepting my part in that and stopping it. Step 1 is acknowledging, "oh wow, that truly was homophobic even though I didn't think of it that way at first." 11:25 - *"None of these people seem capable of telling when someone is joking, at least when it's coming from someone they don't like."* Fun fact, I've skipped many of your points thus far because you were nitpicking jokes that I made. 13:32 - *"Why would you not believe she's a nurse? She said she's a nurse, I have no reason not to believe her, and going by [her dox], she's a retired nurse of 25 years, and she's currently a schoolteacher. Again, why wouldn't you believe that?"* Because... she's in a nurse cosplay... doing a nurse character? 13:56 - *"It just seems like really bad faith to doubt simple claims like this."* I understand that she's a nurse now that you've brought that information forward, but you're acting like she flashed her nursing degree and showed pictures of her in a doctor's office, and then I said, "nope, don't believe it." I was clearly reacting to the costume and fake voice she was doing because That Vegan Nurse is clearly a character and not supposed to be a real person. 14:08 - *"Yes, she has another character, That Vegan Nurse, and to me, this is the worst one of all [...], she's doing this weird, shy, little kid thing, she's got her hair in pigtails-"* Yes. Exactly. Thus, I didn't believe she was a real nurse at the time. That Vegan Nurse is, as you said, a character she does. 24:54 - *"Comparing is not equating. Racists and speciesists commonly engage in the same kind of arguments to devalue others. It makes sense to compare the two. Being able to compare one struggle to another is an effective way to create empathy."* I'm going to go ahead and ask you to look at your comment section right now and tell me if the comparison is effective. I see a whole lot of people very clearly and calmly explaining exactly why that's not a useful comparison at all. 26:16 - *"The video continues on for a while; it's mostly talking about the Holocaust and racism analogies she makes, a song or poem or whatever about George Floyd."* So, you completely and intentionally skipped over the George Floyd song and the Auschwitz/Holocaust comparisons, which I described as "unhinged" and "racist". It says a lot about your unwillingness to engage with my main point, which was a throughline between my two videos: That Vegan Teacher is racist and says racist things and has racist content available online. 28:18 - *"It's hard to understand why D'Angelo is so willing to believe this random internet comment [claiming that TVT's advice led someone's friend to die of malnutrition], but he can't believe that she could actually be a nurse. I'm kidding; it's not; it's really easy to understand. He doesn't like her, and he wants to believe that her platform led to someone's death. He's obviously not stupid; he just turns his brain off because it's easier, and he gets to have this great moment where it looks like she's making fun of someone's death."* The only thing you got right in that entire sentence is that I'm not stupid. 28:50 - *"You could make a really good argument against her stuff, I mean [D'Angelo] can't because these people don't actually know anything about veganism, but there are some serious problems with [her information and platform], but I'll talk about that in part 3."* This statement is ridiculous on all levels. First of all, I am not clueless about veganism, which is why I was easily able to separate her divisive rhetoric from actual veganism and clarified in both videos that none of my criticisms of her went for any other vegan. Moreover, the idea that I would need to be knowledgeable about veganism to call out racist behavior from a vegan is ridiculous. 30:11 - *"Can we expect a third video offering an apology since you've been like 90% wrong in these past two videos? I'm going to guess no."* This bit was the only part of the video where I laughed, and not because the joke was funny, but because it's laughable to categorize 20 minutes of footage in which I clearly highlight bigoted behavior and explain why it's wrong and how it reinforces harmful ideas... as "90% wrong."

My parents are ok with me being vegan, my father told me, that he will beat me up till I start bleeding because I’m gay. There is no comparison, I’m kinda disappointed

« Veganphobia » I’m a brown girl, a vegan and a lesbian. Do you want to take a guess at which of these things is really not a problem in my daily life ?

UV be like: "I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty"

"obviously she supports gay rights" WHERE. where??

wowwww "being in a gay relationship is a choice." As a lesbian this take REALLY threw me, I didn't realize you were this type. unsubbed.

It’s actually amazing to me how someone who bases their entire lifestyle around animal rights could be completely ignorant to human rights 🤷🏾‍♀️

“Homophobia is related to choice” tell that to every closeted kid that was still bullied because their peers perceived things about them as “gay”.

Yea I disagree with almost every point you made here. Which is rare since I usually agree with most points you make. 1. Racism and vegan phobia are completely different. I can’t go anywhere without people knowing I’m black. Unless you open your mouth and say you’re vegan no one will know. 2. It’s not obvious in any way shape or form that she’s pro lgbt. 3. It just seems like you’re too attached to the subject matter to be objective on this one.

Lesbian vegan here.. don't you dare compare the two. I was sexually assaulted over being a lesbian. I've never come close to being uncomfortable when people poke at me for being a vegan. I used to respect you but your views make me really reconsider.

Beef with D'angelo. You must be on self-destruct mode.

Do you not understand that just because someone says “I’m not homophobic” does not actually mean that they aren’t homophobic? Like I’m genuinely confused about the fact that you kept saying she’s not a bigot just because she said she isn’t

Love seeing a white woman compare a dietary lifestyle to being POC

As a vegan black lesbian I am going to say without question that racism, sexism, and homophobia is much much worse than the vegan phobia I have experienced. I became vegan because I can see the parallels between specism and racism but for you to ignore the valid points that D’angelo made calling out TVT’s racist and homophobic comments with your own racist and homophobic comments is appalling. I really liked your approach to veganism but your difficulty accepting valid criticism of members of the vegan movement by non vegans and your behavior in this video is going to make it hard for me to stay. I stood by you during your questionable Black Lives Matter videos but to continue to ignore your actions and how they impact other marginalized groups (that I am apart of) because you are vegan would be selfish. Hopefully you are able to learn from your mistakes. Now to continue my hunt for a vegan who doesn’t put other groups down.

I didn't realize you were homophobic. That's not okay. How awful.

As a black woman (and a vegan) I’m EXTREMELY insulted by the comparisons. For you to speak from the outside isn’t fair. I don’t expect you to fully understand the issues, but I do expect you to try before spouting nonsense. It’s sad that you can say these things with a straight face and not understand why people are upset.

The “vegan discrimination” I face, aka jokes, not being able to eat at some restaurants, and the occasional person ridiculing me, is basically to the extent of mild microaggressions. People of color and lgbt (especially trans) people face much more serious issues than microaggressions. Trans people were not allowed in the military, not allowed in the correct bathroom, they’re beaten up on the streets. The history is also important to consider, when comparing racism or homophobia to vegan phobia. Racism has the history of slavery, homophobia has the history of being illegal, being considered a mental illness. Vegan phobia does not have any kind of history like that. They are nowhere near the same.

Are you seriously saying that if gay people don't want to be discriminated against they should just stay in the closet / be with someone of the opposite sex?

D'angelo doesn't research? You've obviously never watched any of his videoa

WHAT,,, did she really just say “it’s not a choice to be gay.....but dating gay ppl is..”??? Like who else am I supposed to date? Are you saying gay people should stay in the closet to avoid persecution? You need to log off honey

It's mindblowing that at this point you're still defending TVT when she was literally racist and she's said gay people were going to hell. And last time I checked vegans can get married? Like what is going on?

THE FACT THAT THE COMMENTS HAVE MORE LIKES THAN UR VIDEO IS JUST- *WHEEZE*

I'm not usually one to announce my departure, but between this and the way you misrepresented concepts like "Black spaces" and "defund the police" for your BLM videos, I'm done. Unsubscribed. I used to be someone who recommended your channel to others, but this is getting ridiculous. "Hate the sin and love the sinner" is only a rhetorical device. The same people saying that don't just hate people having gay sex, they police AFAB people who don't dress femininely enough, AMAB people who don't dress masculinely enough, any gender non-conforming interests or mannerisms, and not just in gay people either. It's lazy to give their cover story any creedence when they're actions clearly show that it's merely a rhetorical device to make their homophobia pill less bitter.

So this is what you meant by "I don't believe in intersectionality". Ultimately the only valid struggle for you is veganism, and you will side with the vegan over the non vegan regardless if it's right or wrong. This is a very disappointing realization.

So are you saying that sigle gay people receive no hate? Wild

"Being in a gay relationship is a choice" oofff. Youre dead to me

Oh so this video isn’t... irony? Like you’re legit defending this horrible woman????

So let me get this straight, it's OBVIOUS when she's joking, being sarcastic, trolling, etc etc about serious issues but it's outlandish to question whether or not she's a real nurse? That alone demonstrates your bias here. You can't use joking as a cop-out for some things and then turn around and berate people for not trusting her on other things.

"Having that [sexual] orientation isn't a choice but being in a gay relationship is a choice." Girl, the way that you framed that is just...no. Do not use homophobic rhetoric to defend veganism.

When evangelicals and other Christians talk about hating the sin not the sinner it’s a purely rhetorical argument. That’s rarely how homophobia works in the real world. You’re basically hiding behind the arguments and excuses of Christian extremism to defend the comparison between veganphobia and homophobia.

Imagine making a 30 minute video comparing """""veganphobia"""""" to actual oppression when your """"oppression""""" is sometimes internet people making cringey vegan jokes

"veganphobia" is not nearly as dangerous as racism, homophobia, or being within the intersectionality of the two. try again

If she is able to put tens of hours into researching veganism and various nutrients/diets/foods/etc for other videos, why can’t she do the same in regards to the oppression of minorities? I was a fan, but I cannot watch you in good conscience anymore.

Im starting to think some of your “hot takes” are just you not being a very good person

“Have you experienced vegan phobia” is false equivalency. Vegans haven’t been lynched or murdered by police for being vegan. Vegans haven’t been forced to live in secrecy under fear of violence or loss of love from family. Vegans aren’t forced into abusive therapies to ‘convert’ them. Vegans aren’t raised believing what they are is a sin, something worthy of eternal damnation. I have empathy for vegans, but to compare the discrimination vegans face to that of marginalized groups is offensive, ignorant, and rhetorically unsubstantiated

"Can we expect a third video offering an apology since youve been like 90% wrong in these 2 videos" irony

Didn’t you state that sex was “a need” in your video about cheaters? You even said that denying men sex causes them “suffering.” Very interesting that you are now defending/excusing/deflecting from TVT’s claim about gay relationships being “a choice.” I guess sex is only a need for heterosexual men? I’m not even going to get into your “hot takes” about racism that are factually at odds with empirical data and reality, because you’ve already expressed that you aren’t interested, but I will say that these last few “controversial” takes you’ve put in your videos over the last few months are just getting more and more dishonest and hypocritical. I’ve been viewing your content for 7 of the 8 years I’ve been a vegan. That will not continue 😂

Lmaooooooo well I’m at least glad she’s dropped the charade of “rational & impartial queen who can do no wrong” and just gone full joe rogan

Swayze - I’m a long time fan, and I have to tell you honestly, you need to take a step back on talking about lgbtqia+ and race issues. It’s clear that, apart from not being a part of these groups, you haven’t studied enough on these groups to provide commentary or education. Your points are wrong and harmful to all 3 causes. You should consider taking this video down.

why are both you and thatveganteacher acting like dangelo doesnt know bigotry and you two are the ones who TRULY know it... hes black?????

This was a bad take in my opinion. TVT is homophobic. Saying coming out is selfish is wrong, period. Lost my respect completely.

So your personality is “contrarian” and that’s it huh

So it’s ok for her to “joke” that non-vegans will go to hell but not for Tommy to “joke” about hating vegetarians? That’s a double standard. They are either both fine or both not fine. You don’t get to pick and choose.

I think you need to take a second to re evaluate who you are. I started watching your channel because it inspired me to take up veganism but your recent content is quite disturbing. It’s ridiculous you’re making a 30 min video defending this women. I hope you figure it out.

It feels like lately you've been intentionally trying to alienate your intersectional vegan audience, which is so weird to me. This is the exact type of vegan you would criticise a few years back?? I have loved your videos for years, but I'm not sure if I want to keep supporting you if you don't learn from this backlash

As a bi woman who didn't come out until my mid-twenties, I can't even come up with the words to express what a slap in the face this was. You're right, acting on non-hetero feelings is a choice. But I'm bi whether I act on it or not, were you vegan before you started eating vegan? Were you scared to act on being vegan the way closeted LGBT people are often scared to act in ways that reveal their identities?

I like how she was so wrong she didnt even bother to respond to the biggest comment on this video

So... here's my thing. Do you know that vegan teacher personally? Because most of this video is: "I know she said this but thats not actually what she meant." It seems like if all this isn't actually what she meant it wouldn't need so much clarification

miss gurl. being vegan is a choice. it’s waaaaaay different than racism, homophobia, etc. this is a shitty hill to die on! me and my friends have been fans for a while but this is a really crappy thing to do. Jesus Christ I don’t think you even heard him.

If you’re so upset that someone hates you for a choice you’ve made, imagine how shit it is for someone to hate you because of something you cannot control. Also, please don’t “explain” anymore things to us, you’re not as clever and intellectual as you assume you are.

You're really going on about 'veganphobia' when BiPoc trans life expectancy is around 30-35 years of age? Really? Like, we're really doing this?

Also shocked by how you completely skimmed over the George Floyd song. It's so deeply disturbing I genuinely can't believe you didn't properly acknowledge or at least play it. I watch and enjoy both your and D'Angelo's content. I didn't come to this video with an agenda but I'm incredibly disappointed with how you handled this video and the very valid points about racism and homophobia D'angelo made.

At no point do I think or feel "oh, she's just joking." To me I get the impression that The vegan teacher is 100% serious about everything she's saying. I feel uncomfortable hearing her compare veganism and hatred towards vegans as the same thing as racism, homophobia and sexism etc. You can hate all of those things but someone hating on you for being a vegan is not the same thing as being discriminated against for being a person of color or for being gay. Becoming a vegan is a choice. Being gay is not a choice. Regardless if you are gay or straight whomever you date is a choice. You have the choice to say yes or no about who you want to date (if anyone at all). When That vegan teacher is saying that only vegans will get to heaven (because all vegans are apparently good people and can never do anything wrong) it feels like she's just ignoring all the people who can't become a vegan for various reasons. Not everyone has the money or the resources to be a vegan and let's not forget all the people with allergies or intolerance's who can't survive on a vegan diet and all the people who are in recovery from an eating disorder who probably shouldn't become a vegan (at the time of recovery).

I’m just...really disappointed. This whole video is full of really tone deaf comparisons. Speaking like an author to figure doesn’t make you one. The “choice” of gay people to live alone forever and never experience love or sex in order to be accepted is not even close to the choice vegans make. Sure, veganphobia exists-but it’s not remotely comparable. Vegans don’t have a history of brutal violence against their community for being vegan. No one is force sterilizing, institutionalizing, beating or murdering vegans because they choose not to eat meat. The fact that she can really make this point shows a complete lack of understanding about what it actually means to be marginalized-and I’m not even touching on the playing off casual racism there’s plenty of comments from black/poc doing that better then I could.

Veganism is a choice, being a person of color or gay is not. ☹️

This is a bad take. You are not part of the marginalized groups that you are choosing to blame.

The ABILITY to choose your diet is a privilege.

I’m curious when was the last time someone was murdered exclusively because of “vegan phobia” This attempted justification is absolutely disgusting. This is exactly why people don’t like vegans. Because they act like they are oppressed. It is okay to be upset about being bullied. Bullying isn’t the same thing as bigotry though. Yes they are both wrong, but that doesn’t equate them.

White woman who doesn't understand oppression or intersectionality defends homophobic and racist behaviour and then tells lgbt+ and pocs that they're taking offence because they hate vegans and not because Tvt is wrong and that it's only a matter of her delivery? If you claim to support gay people, you don't make shitty comments about them to prop up veganism. You are not an ally if you are insulting gay people or using them as a prop. I guess as a straight white vegan you're bound to pretend that TVT's problematicism is an illusion created by viewers who hate vegans and that at worst she's just a cringe content creator. She is a bad activist and she is not a decent ally. Stop defending her and diluting the weight of her words. Tone Deaf.

That Vegan Teacher is bad for the movement. She reinforces every negative stereotype that exists about vegans being crazy. She has the ability to influence the young generation on TikTok and instead chooses to do cheesy tasteless shit. It’s just embarrassing and disappointing.

You’re actually shading D’Angelo for “not doing research “ when you asked for research material from your audience, and then acted passive-aggressive when you didn’t get much from them? To be clear, D’Angelo has never (to my knowledge) done this. He’s always researched on his own and come up with his information independently. But go off I guess.

I’m confused by your hypocrisy. On your channel you used to constantly call out vegan influencers for not deleting past videos where their opinions on certain matters changed. Yet with TVT encouraging everyone to donate their organs you defend her and make excuses for her because she probably changed her mind? Why are you suddenly so desperate to defend her. She reminds of Freelee in many ways and you didn’t hestitate to call her out. This video was horrible and you didn’t even address her comments surrounding George Floyd. I am disgusted.

To anyone surprised by UV's take, don't be. She knows a lot on what personally affects her and next to nothing on everything else. She's exactly the same as TVT and I unfollow UV a while ago after her first tone deaf rant and her doubling down on said rant.

Im very hurt. I grew up in the evangelical community and went to a chrsitian college (just graduated) and only 10% of the poeple I know dont hate gay people, and I routinely heard racist jokes (heard the N word in class 2x) so idk how in the flying frick she thinks the gays and minorities are just doing dandy in comparison to vegans

not you telling d’angelo to make an apology video for being wrong when you can’t even do that yourself

So, you don’t want to invade HER privacy but you spent over 30 minutes discussing someone’s sexuality in relation to your beliefs about FOOD? Yikes. This ain’t it, sis. I hope that 3rd video sounds more like an apology and not a steamrolled effort to destroy someone’s character based on an incredibly biased opinion.

You can’t choose the color of your skin nor your sexuality. I can’t believe you would stoop to this level.

Gay vegan here = :) Being gay has never once been a choice for me. This is who I am. I have know this since I was four years old. Nothing I could ever do (even if I tried) would change that. I am gay. I will never be in a straight relationship because that is not an option for me. My lovely girlfriend cannot choose not to be POC. That is her genetic makeup. Nothing she could ever do would change her DNA. Being vegan is a choice. You do not have to be vegan. There are no laws saying you have to be vegan. There are no laws saying you cannot be vegan. If you are even going to try to compare veganphobia to homophobia and racism, answer me these questions: Where are the cases of vegan teenagers being sent to conversion camps? Where are the cases of vegan being thrown out of the house with no where to go just because they are vegan? Where the vegan suicide hotline numbers? Where are the laws put in place to stop vegans from having equal rights in the work place? Housing? Medical insurance? Respect at funeral homes? Where are cases of vegans being killed, and their cases being thrown out just because they are vegan? Or if their case isn't thrown out, the murder gets away because of a heavily biased jury? Where are the centuries of oppression in our textbooks vegans have faced? Why have we not been taught this in school? How can you even put veganphobia on the same level as homophobia and racism? I do not understand. Yes, vegans are spoken out as against. Yes they are laughed at, or mocked, or even hated. But it is no where near racism or homophobia.

Miss girl did NOT just say that being gay is more accepted than being vegan. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED IN 72 COUNTRIES AND YOU JUST EAT SPECIAL FOOD.

I used to like Unnatural Vegan and I was willing to learn more about Veganism. But yet again I was reminded why I don’t mention/interact with a lot of vegans especially those that aren’t minorities. Because they will equate the value of Animals higher than human beings. Her Black Lives Matter videos was very much ( I can excuse racism but I draw the line on animal cruelty). She is pro Capitalism ( which I don’t mind but her reasons didn’t make sense) And now she is defending a Woman who is clearly RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC AND ANTI-SEMITIC in the name of Veganism. D’Angelo made a perfect Video as to why but you so blatantly ignored his points and are clearly ignorant. Is this truly the hill you wanna die on.

What is happening to this channel??

This is so disappointing... I don't agree with D'Angelo on all of his points, but I'm shocked that someone who comes across as so smart, educated, all the while still caring and somewhat selfless as you, suddenly presents such a warped perception of the situation. Why are you defending her and skipping over D'Angelo's main points? Because she's vegan? She is so outrageously disrespectful to all kinds people and insanely damaging to the vegan community and our message because she portrays the worst stereotype imaginable... I have not commented on her behaviour before, because I didn't see the necessity to, but now, I feel as though I have to. She's turning people away by picking out the people she "attacks" at seemingly random, she's pushy, rude and inconsiderate. And she is homophobic and racist. Maybe she doesn't mean to be... But her way of phrasing things and her actions speak for themselves, which you also kind of skipped over. Please reconsider your points. You don't need to support someone so vicious just because she is vegan and no one else seems to speak up for her. She is a grown woman, she does what she does on purpose and she can either stop or face the backlash. No need for you to jump to her defense. Despite how shocking I find this video to be, I hope you will take some time to reflect on this and maybe adjust some of your points.

I'm sorry, but you can't say that it's "obvious" that she stands for gay rights AND say that she's not phrasing it well. The fact that she is phrasing it the way she does is why people are 'misunderstanding. It is not obvious she stands for anything other than veganism, and apparently nothing EXCEPT veganism is sacred to her.

The end where you talk about how most people can’t be unbiased or do research but still feel justified in posting this absolute nonsense is ASTOUNDING. You have so little self awareness.

That like to dislike ratio is a sign.

No being vegan is not equal to "choosing" to be in a same sex relationship. People have no control over who they fall in love with or find attractive, the alternative would be them being alone for the rest of their lives. The alternative to being vegan is not to simply never eat again. This is the kind of stuff that gets vegans so much hate.

I really think you need to have a sit down and have a read through all your comments. A lot of your subscribers are POC and LGBT+ and we’re disappointed with you. You’re one of the people that encouraged me to become vegan and damn, I gotta go - you are so off the mark here.

"oh I'm gay and I agree with her so you're all wrong!" You are not the Rainbow Lorax. You do not speak for the Gays. That's your opinion. Hush.

She was really upset about that nurse comment lol

Why do you want to defend her so badly?.. This channel has been making me more and more uncomfortable. I'm out.

this is simply gross I was a long time fan but this is time to say goodbye.

It is an extremely dangerous idea that most homophobic bigots are only homophobic in the sense that they disagree with same sex relationships (aka people acting on their desires). This is incorrect. Many homophobes want gay people dead simply for existing and identifying as gay. Edit: It is also an extremely dangerous idea that the most homophobic people are gay themselves. There is no evidence that supports this. It conveniently places the blame for homophobia within the gay community instead of outside it - a type of victim blaming. It's disappointing to see someone with a allegedly empirical worldview resort to unscientific claims just to get a point across.

Girl you are losing your mind.

He says he doesn't believe she's a nurse because it's so obviously a character. She's clearly playing a part so I also wouldn't automatically believe anything she says as that character is true. I'm sure he thought that'd be obvious enough that he didn't need to explain it in his video. You get upset with him for not seeing tvt sarcasm and satire but then have the exact same issue. You take half of her stuff at face value and then get upset at D'angelo for seeing other parts as satire or truth.

It’s amazing that in one 33 minute video all you said was “I’m homophobic and racist, and it’s okay if you’re homophobic and racist too as long as you’re vegan ✨”

ABSOLUTELY WILD that UV assumes that homophobia is only experienced when you're dating someone, or even just if you come out. D'Angelo doesn't mention transphobia, but if we take the concept of choice the way she does, what does that say for trans people??

I think your channel isn’t getting the views it used to so you’re pivoting to troll content to generate attention. Pretty sad, ngl.

swayze, casual racism and homophobia are still racism and homophobia. as a mixed race bisexual woman who also happens to be vegan i'm pretty confident when i say that "vegan phobia" is not even remotely comparable to, for example, biphobia. i think you're smart enough to understand this, i'm so disappointed in you, especially after the whole anti-capitalism isn't vegan video. come on! edit: i'm obviously unsubbing but, if anything, i hope this horrid comment section makes you realize how incredibly out of touch you are. if you're going to continue talking about racism and homo/lgbtphobia, you really should start listening to what bipoc and lgbt people have to say. i think your privilege is blinding you.

I’m so confused by you. I enjoyed the fact that you seemed against shaming and bullying people into veganism. That is exactly what this woman is doing and you are defending her. To what end? You defend her for changing her mind about certain organ donation, but you have gone on and on about deleting things that you no longer believe in for the exact reason. That not everyone will see all of your videos blah blah blah. Also, how are you comparing the treatment of vegans to the treatment of the lgbtq community. Have you lost it? Are there civil rights that vegans had to fight for? And how can you not see that referring to non-vegans as abusivos wrong? You, quite frankly, are indefensible at this point

I was a subscriber for a long time.. I stopped for awhile after BLM situation, I just had a bad taste in my month.. but wow this is not tone deaf, it's actually homophobic. I am a vegetarian, and it is so sad that there is one less person I can watch. I am all for animal activism, but my god, implying that it's a hated group? Like actually talking about discrimination? I hope the backlash from these situation helps you learn as more about social injustice as you learn while researching for your vegan topics. Maybe it will give you the better understanding of the world some people live in. Honestly disgusting...

She's not comparing them. She's equating them. It's quite obvious.
