Vegaphobia

Former headquarters of the Vegan Society in St. Leonards-on-Sea

Vegaphobia, vegephobia, veganphobia, or veganophobia is an aversion to, or dislike of, vegetarians and vegans.[1][2][3] The term first appeared in the 2010s, coinciding with the rise in veganism in the late 2010s.[4][5] Several studies have found an incidence of vegaphobic sentiments in the general population.[6][7][8] Positive feelings regarding vegetarians and vegans also exist. Because of their diet, others may perceive them as more virtuous or principled.[9]
