I’ve known many EAs. Many have been vegan and many have not (I’m not). I’ve never seen anyone “treat [someone] as non-serious (or even evil)” based on their diet.
I’ve had pushback about not being vegan/vegetarian, but I perceive it to be a thing a small fraction of EAs push other people on rather than a general norm.
I’ve upvoted because I think it is valuable to share this kind of experience. I think sometimes this sort of thing can be subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle and either way, it still can be very unpleasant.
I feel like I very well could have made people feel judged without meaning to (I hope not though).
I’ve had this happen fwiw.

Huh. I’m sorry. I hope that experience isn’t representative of EA.
