The giant Markus Rühl meets the militant vegan. The bodybuilder is provocative, but the streamer probably goes too far, it crashes.
Hamburg – The militant vegan is causing a sensation again. The Twitch streamer has met German bodybuilding legend Markus Rühl. What began as a quiet conversation then ended in insults and questionable, even almost punishable comparisons. The spectators almost all agree and see a clear winner in the clash of opposites.

Markus Rühl and the Militant Vegan – Meeting at Leeroy ends as expected
This meeting is about: In the format "Leeroy wants to know", two distant opposite poles collide. Although the video was filmed in 2022, it was not released until May 7, 2023. These three people provide explosive material:
- Raffaela Raab (26), known as the Militant Vegan. It is aggressively committed to animal welfare and goes too far for many. The activist has been arrested several times and is causing trouble with questionable Holocaust comparisons. The militant vegan sees humans and every animal as equal and worthy of protection.
- Markus Rühl (51), who claims to be an avid meat eater, is a former professional bodybuilder with a fighting weight of 130 KG, but is now "out of service". But it still looks like a monumental mountain of meat, pardon, muscle mountain of the first order.
- Leeroy Matata (26) sits as a moderator between the two, he acts more as a mediator and lightning rod. Leeroy points out directly in the preface that he does not share many of the opinions in the video and is very critical, but sees everything as an opportunity for moderate animal welfare.
Here's how the conversation works: The video begins with a calm Markus Rühl, who listens to his interlocutor and agrees on many points. But the two won't quite agree on each other. After her statements, Rühl accuses the militant vegan of tunnel thinking, saying that she does not see "what is happening left and right" and is completely out of touch with reality.

The giant Rühl wants to be an absolute animal lover, advocates species-appropriate husbandry and promotes conscious nutrition. But then he provokes with such statements as that he would also eat a dog. The quote is somewhat taken out of context, because this is about a fictitious absolute emergency – not about protein intake for pumping.
But the militant vegan plays the provocative game of career paths and thinks that the meat industry is the greatest mass extermination of all, that she can slaughter Leeroy like a pig, that children should go to slaughterhouses and draws comparisons with the Holocaust of the Nazi era. This is really thin ice, because since 2004 such comparisons between meat consumption and the Holocaust have been prohibited by the courts. Moderator Leeroy also explains this in the video for classification.
Militant vegan insults Markus Rühl: "So I'm a Nazi and stupid?"
The discussion fails: Rühl, who shoveled a dozen eggs, several portions of chicken and more into himself in the old days of top athletes, triggers memories of animal cries and blood streams in the militant vegan. Tradition and taste are "stupid arguments" for her. Rühl recapitulates that he is a "Nazi and stupid" when he eats meat and feels quite insulted. This marks the turning point in the conversation, which was quite quiet for a good 30 minutes.

From then on, the situation is more complicated, more personal and less focused on the arguments. "Tolerance is zero" is smashed to the meat-eating opposite side. Then it's no longer you, but the other side is talked about with "he said". Here is the full, almost one-hour video on YouTube:
Militants lectured Markus Rühl – Even vegans say "we are ashamed of them"
Here's how viewers react: Markus Rühl is often praised as a proper ringleader, especially at the beginning he went into Rafaela Raab: "I have the greatest respect for Markus, to stay so calm" can be read in many variations. A large part of the comments are positioned on his page.
Many commentators have been offended by the aggressive attitude of the militant vegan. In the comments, for example, it says from her own camp: "I am a vegan and so are many people around me, each of these people has blocked Raffaela on all social media platforms, we are ashamed of this approach and her statements!". Whether Ms. Raab is doing her movement a disservice is also reinforced by the scandalous side earnings of the militant vegan.
