When it comes to activism, I've often said that, 'most people know the difference between a good vegan and a bad vegan'. Being insufferable, overbearing, or pushing discussions where they aren't needed or wanted does nothing to help your cause, it usually does the opposite. When you talk to most people who ascribe to a certain political, lifestyle, or activist way of life, you'll usually find that most of them are pretty normal and non-pervasive people; IE you may never even know those details without asking them. This goes for most things. Fitness enthusiast vs gym bro. Music/Media enjoyers vs gatekeepers. Activist who promote and provide good accurate information in a hands off way, vs those who push political messaging where it's not wanted. Be a good vegan.
