I guess we just have different experiences man. The people I know, love, and associate with don't give a fuck if you fish, hunt, or own guns. Plenty of people own trucks, not everyone is vegan, tons of people love sports including football.

Of course there are people in the Valley who own trucks, hunt and fish etc..

But it's not really a matter of 'personal experience' - because in general, those are not cool things to be in the Valley - and many people will care.

'Culture fit' is a huge point of exclusion at high tech companies.

WeWork went fully vegan for exactly this reason: they don't want those meat eating types, and the culture that comes along with it.

Move to Seattle.

We are like SF except we still enjoy BBQs, sports, and my friends from Texas get compliment about their accent.

Weather is a bit chillier though.

So in another word, wework is now discriminating against meat eaters. Isn't that being intolerant?
