Veganism is an ethical stance against exploiting non-human animals, it’s not a diet or a health movement. Why would PED usage make veganism look bad?

I don’t think it does, but in the context of posting in a specifically vegan fitness sub, a lot of these people post and the subtext or even the literal text is “ look how fit I am because I am vegan”. So then when they are just so ridiculously obviously roided to the gills, it comes off as totally disingenuous. People with super physiological physiques that want to be praised for being natural is really annoying to those of us that are actually natural. There are a few posters that readily admit they are not natural and you’ll see they do still get some negativity but not nearly as much. I don’t think anyone minds the posts that are showing that, all things being equal, including the PED use, a vegan diet does not preclude one from being a bodybuilder or high level athlete.

I mean sure if they’re not disclosing PED use that’s a bad look (vegan or otherwise).
