Vegan mansplainer scolds, doxxes woman after she buys ice cream for a crying kid

[hydrophilic attack]

https://mashable.com/2018/04/29/vegan-mansplain-ice-cream/

It all started on Saturday when a very nice young woman did a very nice thing. She found a little girl crying outside her house and offered to help by fixing the sad situation she was in: Not having enough money to get ice cream from an ice cream truck.

Like any reasonable person with a little cash on hand, the nice young woman gave the little girl some money so she could enjoy some ice cream with her friends.

She recounted her story in a tweet only to fall victim to the horrible, horrible reality that is social media: shitty men that feel the need to explain why that nice and reasonable thing you did is insanely wrong.

That man, not content to chastise the nice woman in her DMs, doubled down on his shitty-ness, and posted his rude and unhinged comments to his own Twitter page.

The man, whose name is Anthony Dagher, scolded Zara for buying the girl ice cream because he assumed said ice cream wasn't vegan. Dagher, who describes himself as vegan in his Twitter bio, thought that Zara was betraying her vegan status by giving a girl money to buy a tasty frozen treat that contains dairy.

He's so sure that he's correct in this situation that he screencapped his damning messages and tried to shame Zara by posting a screenshot of her Instagram account so "my Vegan followers" could let her know (Dagher obviously earned himself a block early on in this process). Not exactly the best way to prove that you're right.

This was the woman's story:

Then he slid into her DMs to ask her whether it was vegan ice-cream:

And after she blocked him, he tweeted out this convo along with her instagram account to his followers, asking them to badger her in DMs and on instagram until she would admit he was right.

I honestly didn't know that this kind of diet shaming was going between vegans, and that they would crawl each other's social media to find any little misstep from the lifestyle. Punishing and publicly shaming an apostate in such a way seems more fitting of a cult than of a diet.

Update: Apparently, the woman wrote a blog post about the experience:

hydrophilic attack can you stick this link in your OP? Its a blog post from the victim detailing why she reacted the way she reacted, in case anyone feels the need to blame it on her that he felt it needed to criticize her act. http://www.itsallzara.co.uk/2018/04/icecreamgate-how-i-went-viral.html

He looks exactly like his messages read.

Deeper than that unibrow.

 

[Demolition_Human]

What a goddamn tool he is.

 

[Inferno]

As a vegan myself, dude's embodying every negative stereotypes of vegans with this shit. I've seen so many other vegans tearing him a new one on Twitter.

 

[gcwy]

Pathetic. He's practically encouraging other people to harass her.

 

[Deleted member 25712]

Ah the feeling of being so 100% right that any means and methods feel justifiable. What a dick bag.

The thing this made me realize is just how shitty Twitter’s reporting features are. Well, I knew how shitty they were in general, but I’d never had to spend several minutes just getting the report screen to load more tweets so I could report that initial tweet about wanting people to harass her through DMs and Instagram.

Dude made a billion tweets after this blew up. I wish you could at least have it not include replies on that screen too, so that I’d have only had to deal with the tons of quoting he did but not all the replies too.

 

[Coyote Starrk]

He looks like I thought he would.


What a fucking toolbox.



Good on the lady for doing a good deed. Probably made the girls day.

 

[Khanimus]

What a pathetic fucking worm

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Of course these people exist, they are the example that vegan detractors point to and generalize the rest as.

Social media was a mistake.

Imagine being this much a waste of space that all you do is bring others down.

as someone who has been vegan for almost 10 years myself, this guy sucks

Ehh...what the fuck does his looks have to do with anything?
There is absolutely no reason at all to make a comment like that and no, I certainly don't think that the dude is sane in his head for doing this.

 

[SmokingBun]

Honestly America, you guys are so exhausting sometimes
Complaining and crying over Chinese dresses and non-vegan ice-cream while the vultures in Congress circle over-head

 

[Stalker]

I like Vegans. I like Vegans who respect Animals. I respect animals and yet I am not Vegan

If you push any ideal on anyone your are a fucking nugget.

 

[Hiphopopotamus]

Ah yes, the zeal of the recently converted

"A Vegan, a Libertarian, and a P90X'er walk into a bar. I didn't know it at the time, but they told everyone within 5 minutes of walking in"

Mmmm! That's a tasty one.

 

[Casual]

Lmao. What a fuckin wanker.

 

[Hypron]

What a complete tosser. Let other people live the way they want. And I’m sure you’ve spent money on unnecessary shit that contributed to animal deaths recently. Complaining about a stupid ice cream... The epitome of stupidity.

And I’m vegan myself.

"anime and manga fan"

Jfc. Anime was really a mistake. I blame it on harem and moe anime.

Being vegan is about reducing harm. Sometimes that means not being a prick and forcing your opinions onto a fucking crying child.

Vegan ice cream:

Coconut milk or other fatty plant milks make a great base for an ice cream, and the taste is barely distinguishable from dairy versions when done right.

Milk and eggs bitch.

He probably sees himself like this

I was expecting a tattoo on his forehead with VEGAN.

Scumbag. There is something severely wrong with his thought process.

Seriously though, dude is an asshole and piece of shit. The world doesn't revolve around you and your lifestyle.

Today I learned being vegan is serious fucking business

I did my part and replied with a juicy pork chop.

Just noticed her IG name is "Avocadhoe." Nice.

 

[ginger ninja]

Like this has to be a troll right ? Some of those tweets are South Park esque.

 

[GeoGonzo]

She handled that like a boss.

I feel kind of bad for that dude, his heart is in the right place but his argument makes no sense in this scenario, and not seeing it is troublesome. It is as if he had been grown in a lab and this was his first time hearing about children.

 

[Deleted member 9317]

Vegan shaming someone? Take that V card and reduce it to a v card.

 

[DrFunk]

oh my god that dude is a loser

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Someone needs to kidnap that dude and forcefeed him delicious ice cream.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Of course he's also "spiritual, but not religious."

 

[Thisman]

Social media is a mistake . I only see it’s biggest contribution or lack thereof to give a megaphone to the biggest losers like this guy

Dude's a jerk who gives us vegans a bad name.

Social Media makes it easier for people to get on a stage. This happenes outside of it too.

Business partner is vegan (13 years). Showed him this story. Rolled his eyes and said "Another cunt in the vegan world, no surprise"

Uptight busybodies are the bane of modern society. People can always find something to attack you over, if they're bored and antsy enough.

Hell, if this was a guy who gave a stranger's kid ice cream money, the cops would probably be after him.

I love her first response. And her second one. Actually, I love it all.

How is this mansplaining? Isn't it more like dipshitvegansplaining?
