While not new, veganism has gained popularity via social media. In particular, certain individuals and social groups on social media seem to play an especially important role in the spreading information about veganism and encouraging acceptance of the lifestyle. Additionally, feminism is another key concern among those key individuals. In this paper, I investigate the correlation between veganism and feminism on social media. I find that while veganism and feminism are both popular, they are accepted as lifestyles, rather than for ideological reasons.
