AITA for making my girlfriend cry by comparing her to a minecraft villager?
Alright, gamers, gather round, because I need you to decide if I’m the villain of this story or just a misunderstood genius. Spoiler alert: I’m probably both.
So my(M24) girlfriend(F22) let’s call her Tofu Tina, has been on this big vegan crusade lately, and listen - I respect it. You wanna save cows or whatever, that’s cool.
BUT, she’s turned into one of those people who can’t let anyone else live their life. Every time I eat something that’s not made out of sad beans or kale-flavored cardboard, she lectures me like she’s a f***ing Skyrim NPC.
Last weekend, we’re at her place with some of her vegan friends, and they’re going on and on about how “meat is murder” and how “cheese is liquid suffering.” I’m sitting there with my chicken nuggets (yes, I brought my own because I’m not eating vegan lasagna, fight me), and out of nowhere, I just say, “You sound like a Minecraft villager right now. Hurr-durr-hurr, meat bad.”
Now, did I know this would go over poorly? Yes. Did I think it would absolutely destroy the vibe? Also yes. But the reaction? Bro. Tina straight-up starts crying, her friend tells me I’m “toxic masculinity incarnate,” and I swear I saw one dude in the corner trying to hex me with vegan Wiccan magic or something.
She’s been ghosting me for three days now, and I’m sitting here wondering if I went too far. Like, yeah, I shouldn’t have compared her ethical beliefs to Minecraft noises, but COME ON. You don’t get to roast me for eating nuggets and not expect me to throw a little chaos back.
So, Reddit: AITA? Or is this just another episode of People Can’t Handle the Truth?
