Motherfucker if I didn’t think veganism was ethically superior, I wouldn’t be vegan. That’s literally the only draw for me. I mean, what else is there? Fun? It’s a pain in the ass that means skipping meals because the only vegan item the restaurant offers is french fries and checking every ingredient label because food manufacturers insist on putting dairy in everything. Clout? If anything, becoming a vegan loses you a significant amount of respect - we’re not unaware of the broader culture’s perception of us, we just put up with it rather than not be vegan. A sense of superiority over others? There’s easier ways to get that, and not everything’s about you. Cultural chauvinism? I’m constantly battling my own culture because it decided that mass death factories are cool and normal.
