At a hospital again. I woke up to stinky meat next to me. They told me they don’t have vegan food. They’re very ostensibly rude about this. Had to listen to a long tirade from the room"mate" about how carnism is natural.
I’m in a lot of pain which makes me really irritable. I really didn’t need to be made to gag with the meat.
Last time I was in a hospital they would throw meat into my food as well making sure it touched everything so I wasn’t able to eat the veggies without the corpse taste.
I don’t get why people are so malicious about it. I’m trying not to cry not to give them satisfaction. I am vegan for moral reasons. This is extremely uncomfortable.
Bloodmouths know that they’re wrong and lash out at you for making them feel bad. That’s it.
I wish they didn’t have power over me at my most vulnerable. Some people here are very malicious. I hope they don’t hurt me more than they already had. I don’t get why people in healthcare are so frequently either angels or sadists.
Working in healthcare is dehumanizing and traumatic, workers cope with this in often unhealthy ways. It’s like this:
The overworked hospital staff sees your veganism as a direct insult because they are bloodmouths, so they lash out. As far as they’re concerned you’re rubbing your moral superiority in their faces by asking them to put in extra work to accommodate you. So, they get petty revenge to “put you in your place”.
Being a bloodmouth requires constant personal upkeep in the face of veganism. This helps them protect their fragile egos and sooth their guilt.

You know eating meat is wrong and you hate us for rubbing it in your face. That’s why you’re mad.
This is what malicious here, not the meat. This is the problem, not the world around you. It’s you.
Whatever you say bloodmouth.
I wish carnists would stop brigading vegan spaces. The downvotes are fucked up.
They probably saw this in the /all feed and, like the hospital staff, were compelled to lash out at us. Downvoting us is a cope.
They’re brigading this post hard. I’m gonna commit the heinous act of eating a banana (which I thankfully got yesterday). 🍌
Im really thankful for you being here. 🥺 I am literally too vulnerable for this crap.
I’m vegetarian, but still downvoted most of OP’s comments. They’re being unfairly aggressive in almost all of their replies.
They’re in the hospital and have nothing to eat.
