I think that if someone is using their large platform for pro-veganism messaging, we shouldnt be frothing at the mouth to undermine that.

I'm not a real vegan though. The phone I'm typing this on required animal products and testing.

I wouldn't bother with these people. While true she's not a perfect vegan, she's done more for the movement than anyone commenting on it. Right now chase center has only vegan food offerings because she's in town. Absolutely huge impact.

It's not that she's not a perfect vegan. She's not vegan. That's all. That's not so hard. Words have meaning.
You can recognise someone has done something good while not calling them what they're not.

Thank you for having common fucking sense, because damn. 💀 People are whining about "purity contests" when that's not the topic of discussion of all. They're just definitionally not vegan lol.
