No matter what you practice (veganism, vegetarianism, ...), in order to see the next day, you'll choose your life over the life of something else. Everything that we eat, everything that sustains us (and not just us, but all of life) was once living or came from a living thing. It emerged into life, and eventually we ate it to sustain our own. That's how this works. There is no point in going around blaming anyone for what they choose to use as sustenance. It's all horrible and inevitable when you take the time to really think about it. You can suffer or not. But to live, you will eat. To eat, you will claim the life of something else. And it's for an entirely valid purpose. This is how biological organisms are built. Derivatives or no, we require products of life to live.

Something that annoys me quite a bit is people’s reliance on labels, like any and all labels. I don’t mind someone wanting to put labels on themselves but when people are constantly trying to categorize and label others it’s quite annoying and it’s something I see online a ton. I think this also goes into another issue of people feeling the need to go the extreme with those labels and getting mad at others who don’t. My biggest example with this is Veganism, veganism was made to help animals and the environment yet so many vegans get mad if you don’t go to the extreme of never touching a product made by a animal (ignoring that a lot of the time this extreme actually causes more damage to the environment and wildlife but I digress). I think it’s one of the main reasons people don’t try to cut out meat because they feel like they need to either go full in or they aren’t doing anything. I have some other examples but that’s like my main one lowkey
