vegan theory club is probably not what the OP wants. We are friendly and relaxed but we maintain this by a zero tolerance stance against anything except veganism.
So vegans can freely chat and talk in good faith and safe in the knowledge they won’t have to defend themselves or stumble on something miserable, but if you want a space shared with carnists then uh. Yeah maybe hexbear is better?
Not certain on VTC, but Hexbear’s vegan community definitely took a hardline stance against the things OP’s asking for, with zero tolerance for things like vegetarianism or making changes to reduce your meat intake - it’s all or nothing.
Fair, doubt OP will find exactly what they want anywhere though. Most vegans are ethical vegans, so it’s hard to find some in favor of any meat eating.
Sorry, I should have said animal products - there’s an attitude that there can be no stages of transition to a fully plant based life, you have to immediately excise everything animal based in your life and replace it with plant based alternatives. The irl vegans I know (and what I think OP is looking for) tend to be more in favour of encouraging people to take steps to improve rather than rejecting people for not having taken all of the steps yet.
Vegantheoryclub.org is one, and while technically not Vegan focused, Hexbear.net is explicitly pro-Veganism.
