Some context: This woman was trying to prohibit farmers from equipping their cows with bells, because she felt that they made too much noise. The population in this rural and traditional village did not like that, as they disliked people interfering with their traditions (especially since she was no swiss citizen). Some months later, she asked for naturalization, which was promptly denied by the popular vote in the village.

"Needs more cowbell."
Closing in on singer, tapping cowbell out of sync
I've read about this person before, and they sound genuinely insufferable for multiple reasons, the cowbell thing being just one of them.
Basically, they moved to another country, in the countryside, and immediately started telling everyone around them they were living their lives wrong and should change. Basically the opposite of what naturalisation means.
Yeah I remember a podcast about her. The cowbell thing was probably the least annoying part. She ran an equally aggressive campaign to get the church bells silenced (lady really hates bells). She also had aggressive campaigns against hunting and pig racing. So basically she was against most of the major past times and cultural aspects of the town.

Ok, I actually kind of like her now. Those are annoying as hell if you live next to them.
But I'm sure as hell not gonna talk about it until after I have my citizenship.
I agree that bells are annoying. That's why I don't live in a place with bells. Moving to a place with some traditions and trying to change those traditions is just shitty behaviour.
Can confirm, she was featured in a program about Swiss naturalisation that I watched the other day. There were plenty of other candidates who were trying to integrate that were much less annoying than her, yet they still were having difficulty. It doesn't surprise me one bit that they denied her.
Oh, so the same thing England's been doing for hundreds of years. And, more recently, the U.S. Plus, of course, Christian missionaries.
Maybe she sees herself as some sort of Vegan messiah. The zealotry is strong in that group.
Looks a lot like islamists going to Western countries and demand that certain books/movies/subjects are not taught to their daughters
Edit: also, like Westerners going to exotic countries, conquer and colonize them, then forcing local populations to adopt their god, their fashion and their art
She seems insufferable, but was there from age eight. Im glad she finally got her citizenship.
why is that comment font so weird? it looks like AI generated text
it's just kinda a side effect of being screenshot and posted so many times
that usually looks different
Might be some upscaling or other stuff. I found this image in a 6 year old post and the font looks fine there: https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/ce7lhd/shut_up_vegan/
We should be grateful for every vegan trying to save animals/planet/... and generally leading their life in a way that does not fuck up everything for everyone else.
For every "annoying vegan" there are 100 annoying non-vegans complaining about them on the internet
I was once at my dad's birthday party and he invited like 20 boomer aged people. The food was pretty absurd. There were like 6 kinds of meat. And not much else. I was the only one there not eating anything, i kinda was just there to say hi, play with my niece and nephew and then bolt. Oh the fun they had making jokes about vegans that evening.
You forget that they have few interests and little else in common than ragging on the next generation.
You could be inhaling a sausage scarf draped around your neck, and they'd still find fault with the car you drive, the money you spend on percieved frivolities, and anything that seperates you from them

and a million people who just don't eat meat because they think it's gross. They didn't feel the need to build a cult around it.
But they are least don't wear bells
The actual annoying people are the ones who complain about (often imaginary) annoying vegans. Same with the anti-apple crowd, they're 100 times more annoying than the people who they complain about. Same as people who call others snowflakes mostly being the actual snowflakes themselves.
Also this story is very old but gets reposted all the time always explicitly stirring anti-vegan snark with captions like "Least annoying vegan".
The meat industry is one of the worst polluters on the planet and they spend a lot of money pushing anti-vegan sentiment.
Perhaps. But have you also considered... trying to be less annoying?
