"A vegan man tried to shame a vegan woman online for buying a child a dairy ice cream cone, only to have it backfire.
Popular UK-based vegan blogger itsallzara tweeted that she bought an ice cream for a little girl who was crying because she did not have enough money to buy one herself.

Pulled up to my driveway to find a little girl crying, she didn’t have money for the ice cream van like her friends did so I gave her enough money to get herself a nice big ice cream with sauce, sprinkles and a flake. She was so happy (and soon had ice cream round her mouth)"

Twitter user 7AnthonyDagher7, identified as Anthony Dagher on his page, saw the tweet and felt the need to reach out to the woman and shame her for her actions.
“I am just sending this to ask if the ice cream van was selling vegan ice cream, which would be surprising,” Dagher started in his direct message, before suggesting “if the ice cream was the typical kind, which I generally assume is the case, it definitely would have been best to help the girl in some other way.”
Itsallzara responded, “Mate, I’m vegan, my mums vegan and my boyfriend is vegan I’m not about to push the message onto a crying child.”
While that could have been the end of the exchange, Dagher instead took pictures of the messages, along with images of the woman’s social media pages, and posted them on his Twitter and Reddit looking for support.
“I usually do not do this, but I feel like this is appropriate to post since this person is claiming to be a vegan even though she admitted to buying non-vegan ice cream for someone else, defended what she did when I spoke with her privately (hoping that would make her less likely to be defensive, though I should not have had to worry about that) about it even though I was respectful, and blocked me rather than admitting I was right and that she should not have bought the non-vegan ice cream for that child,” he ranted on Twitter.
“To my vegan followers, I know at least those of you who she is following should be able to send her a private message here. Just in case that is not possible, one of my screenshots shows her Instagram account. I do not want her to be attacked. I just want her to see she was wrong, which I hope enough vegans talking with her will accomplish. Please let me know if that happens,” he wrote in multiple posts on Twitter.
However, Dagher was met with hostility even in the vegan community.

So just because you’re vegan means you can’t make a kids day? One ice cream cone isn’t gonna make the world spontaneously combust.
Get a grip Anthony.

I understand, but I really did not like her defending what she did and blocking me as a supposed vegan, and I do only want other vegans to respectfully speak with her about it rather than attack her for it.

What's to speak about though? I'm not going to give money to a homeless person with the stipulation they only buy vegan food. That's the spiteful meme most are trying to fight against.
You win more hearts with compassion and kindess than you do with ruthless fanaticism.

I've rightly defended you elsewhere Anthony, but on this you're just completely wrong headed. You're coming across as a dogmatic bully.
I buy non- vegan food for my non-vegan partner. So what?
Good on you @itsallzara You are a kind, compassionate vegan ❤

Why is yours even necessary? I do it my way. You don't like it. I don't care. What does any of that have to do with the topic of vegan ridicule?
They're both useless bitches, I guess, but other than that?

Ideology before basic humanity? Seems to be a lot of that going around.

I ridicule vegans who try to push their shit. I had a girl in my first year of university tell me the sandwich I was eating was murder. Someone i had met 20 minutes before in one of my classes. You're god damn right I ridiculed her.

Exactly. It’s like people who don’t hunt and PETA members. One just isn’t interested in the activities and the other has an agenda. Speaking of having an agenda....

Never did hear too many stories of "meat eaters" protesting outside "vegan" restaurants.
The big thing to note is it was an ICE CREAM not a fucking pastrami sandwich. Thus making dickhead "vegan" look like an ass for not knowing what a symbiotic relationship is. Cows accepted along time ago that trading milk for protection, shelter, and food was a win win situation. Are cows smarter than vegans?

Animal products generally involve the suffering of animals. Mammals in general only lactate when they have young to feed. For a cow (goat, horse, sheep) to produce milk, it has to have given birth. But calves eat into profits, so once they are born they are killed and sold as veal. More milk for the farmer.
A vegan is someone who has decided they don't want to participate in that life cycle. Strange definition there, not wanting to cause harm or suffering makes them a 'dickhead'.

I dunno. Trying to call someone out for buying an ice cream for an upset little girl seems like a dickhead move to me.

Perhaps. But I don't think he's doing it because of the little girl, but rather because the vegan lady should know better.
(And, good to see you!)

As for the vegan lady "knowing better", sometimes a person has to let their humanity supersede their ideology even if just temporarily. You know, like maybe the vegan lady remembered what it felt like to be left out of something when she was a kid.
