Vegetarians who say this shit say they enjoy getting encouragement from vegans, but they actually just want a pat on the back and brownie points from susceptible vegans, not actual encouragement.
This is the greatest encouragement I can give them, but because it’s in an “aggressive” tone, they love to say “You’re the reason why people shy away from going vegan!”
Sorry to tell ya, but if some harsh words promoting the very ideological foundation of veganism are enough to discourage you, then you clearly don’t have a plan to “transition” to veganism to begin with.
Imagine telling someone “You really need to stop being fucking racist.” and then they say “Ugh! I’m working on it! You being so pushy makes me want to be more racist actually!”
The cheese rots into their brains apparently.
Sometimes it feels like a containment comm from the old vegan struggle session days.
I can’t take this shit anymore, and I’m honestly over it. The daily harsh exploitation and slaughter of innocent animals en masse is very disgusting to me, and I take solace in being able to have a community where I can feel like that shit isn’t the norm. I want to be in a community where I don’t have to feel like I’m a weirdo for finding that fucked up, even to the harsh degree that I find it fucked up. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of being sensitive about this issue and just not being able to escape the issue’s existence or its promotion anywhere. I can never be comfortable as a vegan anywhere it seems.
