EA actually seems to have some of the most negativity towards veg*nism that I’ve seen.
That might be because some vegans associated with the EA community have a hardline “meat is murder” recruiting strategy, contrasting with typical vegans in the population at large.
It doesn’t seem to me that the proportion of vegans with that approach is higher in communities around EA than in other communities. They don’t seem particularly vocal either. I could be wrong.
These people operate in the San Francisco area and have substantial overlap w/ the EA community there: http://directactioneverywhere.com/ My vague impression is that they’ve been pretty divisive but I don’t have much firsthand knowledge.
