  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

If you aren't vegan for the animals, then you aren't vegan. Most people think that "vegan" is a diet, and it isn't. This is unfortunate, but I think that vegans are partly to blame for this. I think that a lot of us believed that we could woo people over to our side with yummy food and avoid all of those awkward, uncomfortable conversations about animal abuse. The net result is that people's palates expanded to include more plant protein (which is good), but many of them quit being vegan because they had no compelling rationale to remain vegan (which is bad).
