Nah, I will readily admit that vegans are morally correct, that I am weak for being unable to commit fully, and also that the evangelism is often cringe and counterproductive.
The weakness is not daring to fully understand how vegans are morally correct. I ate animals for 34 years and was too weak to face the reality of their situation.
There's also the "try it for X-amount of time and see how you feel at the end." I knew someone who went vegan after deciding to try it out for a month. At first it was a trial run, but by the end he decided to keep going.
Either way, taking baby steps is always the start. Whether you're cutting back or decide to try it out for a span of time, you're making personal progress.
I've been gradually cutting out meat from my diet for years. I started with pigs "because they're so smart", then watched cute cow videos and stopped eating them. Those are, iirc, the highest environmental impact meats so just that much does a fair amount of harm reduction.
I think veganism just self-selects for insane people, because you have to be a bit crazy to go against 98% of the population, eat differently than your friends and family, and ask constantly if things have cheese or milk in them everywhere you go.

Well, tbf ya vegans aren't alone on this one
Ah yes, because the ever-so sane majority is always right.
As someone who has gone a bit crazy eating against 99% of the population, differently then friends and family, and always having to ask if things have sugar or oil in them everywhere I go.... I can confirm I am insane.
