im close to my breaking point. i miss food so much and i feel like nothing can satisfy it. i miss what i ate as a kid and i just cannot eat it. i feel horrible and i dont want to live like that. but at the same time i know that causing extreme suffering to a sentient being is wrong. i know that they get raped, that they get tortured. i know that being vegan is the right choice and that i dont want to eat someones body. i just dont know what to do.

i will never get see the society adapt vegan ideas in my lifetime. people hate me, my ways of thinking are wrong and they will stay wrong until im dead. its completly pointless. i dont care about any "but you'll be preceived as a hero in 150 years". i'll be dead. i wont get to see it. theres no point in doing what i do. eating meat doesnt make people preceive you as a bad person. i'll just suffer on my plant based diet forever, and my sacrifice wouldnt mean anything. i know that the animals will suffer because of it, but the fact is, the society does not care

as the title says. i was scrolling and was this subreddit and decided that it would be a fun thing to do. i hope that my post is allowed here and isnt "disrupting" the community. overall i ask for no pointless hate comments but actual questions. im not looking for a fight

im a trans (and queer overall) person living in a conservative country. and i know that this sounds ridiculous, but for me, being vegan made me feel much more shame than being trans. and if trans suicide rates are extremely high, i wonder how high vegan suicide rates are. i assume that no one has ever done a study like that. i apologise fpr this post not making any sense

i wish i never had my eyes opened and i stayed clueless. now, i cannot undo that. i cannot change that. now i have to live knowing how many people would hate me and preceive me as a bad person. and as someone who suffers from severe ocd, this is one of the worst things that could happen to me. i dont want to live in constant guilt that meat eaters make me feel. i wish i was born 100 years from now. because i'll never get to see a major shift in animal rights. sorry if im incoherent or repeating myself. i just wanted to get this out of my chest

i think our biggest problem is not the ressistance of meat eaters, but the ressistance of other vegans to speak up. let me explain. there are millions of vegans in this world, but most of them choose to stay silent. i see vegan posts getting thousands of likes, but the actual amount of people advocating openly is an extremely small fraction of that. people are scared. theyre scared of backlash and hate, and from my experience, theyre reasonable to fear that. guilt and cognitive dissonance brings out the worst monsters out of people. but if more of us actually spoke up, the backlash would be lesser. people would actually start to adapt and consider our ideas more and the public opinion would start to shift. it happened with every movement. we have to be loud enough for them to hear us. and with how many vegans we have, if every one of them spoke up, im sure we'll make a revolution. it doesnt have to be a million of us, it can even be a few thousand. this subreddit has 3 thousand members. do you understand what difference would it make if every single member decided to speak up? we have to do it for the animals, because they cannot wait. speak up yourself, and tell other vegans to speak up. we are scared, but i promise that the animals are scared more

i post a lot on tiktok about veganism. i had to take my videos down multiple times because of hate comments. i got people telling me to hang myself, looking for every occasion to mock me, commenting dead corpses of animals (not meat, actual corpses) ect. under every video i make about what horrific abuse animals endure, they always comment that they dont care. the majority of meat eaters support rape and admit to it. why are they like that? genuine question

the new "woke opinion" is to think that not opressing the animals is "opressive" to their opressors (humans). i cannot make this up. i wish people could stop caring about the convenience and feelings of the opressor and actually think about how it is from the victims perspective. does a cow deserve to be raped because "its opressive to some human groups" not to do so? unfrotunately with animal opression everyone speaks from a privelaged perspective
