It was kept in captivity by you though, which is not it’s natural habitat so any choices it made were, arguably, under duress.

If you lived by a creek and regularly recognised a fish swimming by, and one day this fish killed itself in front of you- you still shouldn’t eat it as fish contain a lot of parasites and there’s very likely also something toxic in the water causing the fish to harm itself this way.

But yeah, sure, hypothetically: if for a year or so you knew a wild fish that lived in an unpolluted and ecologically healthy body of water, and one day this fish chose to kill itself in front of you. You could, if you really wanted to eat a suicidal fish, eat the fish and say it was vegan because the only harm that came to the fish was through the un-coerced choices of said suicidal fish.

Kids and trendy young people are on tiktok and Instagram and do short video clip based social media.

The people who grew up with the internet being a place where you type and read things to be social, are here and places like here.

I think folk just prefer what they know, like if you grew up with loud and bright video clips being the normal way to interact online, you’d probably not want to switch over to reading and typing- which probably also feels like more effort to these people than just performing for a camera.

Same likely goes for us text based social media people but in reverse.

If the human you’re fucking consented, then consuming their fluids is vegan. Hell if they consent, eating them would be vegan too.

Animals do not consent to having fluids extracted or their lives taken and flesh consumed. Animal agriculture keeps animals in filthy, torturous conditions too, which no animal would ever consent to either.

I braise a whole bag of onions and use it the base for a big pot of Turkish-ish red lentil soup. This then gets portioned into 10 or so meals and frozen so it lasts till i have money again.
