    Sorry to continue this on and be the kind of “but…” person.

    … But … A lot of vegans I know also try to reduce the amount of medicine they use cause sadly a lot of tablets have lactose in them. It’s genuinely one of the hardest things to deal with as a vegan, because it becomes the argument of do I better my life in spite of my ethics momentarily and it’s never an easy choice either way.

    There’s a lot to unpack here…

    I don’t see how you can not see the correlation of keeping animals trapped and in shitty situations to inevitably kill them when they’re literally still children as not being animal abuse.

    Liquified dinosaurs :')

    In seriousness, veganism is about making the best changes you can. Nobody is perfect but you try to do the least damage you can do. Plus it’s a spectrum, there of course will be some vegans that don’t care/know much about how certain commodities are built on the suffering of others. Plus some “vegans” are just plant based and are just in it for personal health so they wouldn’t care about the ethics in it all and the hypocrisy you talk about.

    Also extra note. Don’t look at them focusing on the suffering of animals meaning they don’t care for human suffering. They do. When those at the bottom get brought up it will bring the others above them higher too. It’s a two birds one stone kind of situation (pardon the hypocritical pun ;p)

    I’ve never ever heard of a vegan say fish isn’t meat. If a vegan is eating fish, they’re not vegan (same goes for honey, but that’s a different topic). They’re a pescatarian that eats a lot of plant based foods.

    As a vegan myself I notice the opposite a lot. Veganism becomes the topic of conversation IRL more because of everyone around me asking questions like “don’t you miss bacon” and “how long have you been vegan now?” And “would you ever eat meat again”.

    And when it’s not about veganism specifically they often bring up meat when talking about food they had and then instead of contributing to the conversation, since that feels disingenuous to my ethics and I’m not a fan of lying in general, I’ll tell them “sorry I’m vegan”.

    Also a lot of the stereotypical vegans that end up bringing up veganism on their own all the time is mostly just due to them likely being activists and quite honestly having to deal with the worst of the worst trying to ruin their day every day. And that shit takes it’s toll, not to mention directly staring a lot of what makes them physically sick and upset right in front of them day in and day out. Constantly being reminded of what to them is genuinely horrific. That can change a person and make them very jaded and cynical in life. And in that case, tact no longer becomes an issue to them because to them it’s a matter of life and death, and they mostly see death and this becomes desperate to make a change, even if it’s a little one.

    Sorry if this made me look like a stereotypical one, I’m not trying to preach. Just trying to share what it can be like on the other side.

    Also they totally would take credit. We would call it “planting the seed”. Making you conscious of the choice and hope you come to your own decision on how to and when to make it. ;)

    God that’s a wall of text, I’m sorry -.-
