Have you been finding the jokes regarding vegans forcing veganism on others to be on the decline or is it still pretty bad?

If that sort of 'stigma' goes away I would imagine a lot more people would be going vegetarian/vegan.

That's one thing I've noticed in my environment: the number of vegetarians has exploded, there actually are several vegans now, and there is nobody loudly proclaiming how much they love meat and how they could never give that up. Likewise, nobody is claiming about activist vegans - which is probably due to the also relevant factor that none of the vegans and almost none of the vegetarians are activist. They're just setting an example, are willing to discuss it if you bring it up, and that's it.
