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?!@# 🤬🤬🤬 🤯
