"If you change the words then it would mean something different"
Edit - I keep writing things and then feeling bad afterward lol
Honestly, if you are genuinely trying to change someone's mind then harassing people is literally the complete opposite way of doing things.
People are, on the whole, quite reactionary and protective of their lives. Telling someone that the way they think is wrong will often feel like an attack and, as good as it feels to dunk on someone, it will often make them stand by their beliefs even harder.
What do you think genuinely would help more people turn vegan? Statistics regarding emissions and water usage for farming, or calling someone who eats meat a bloodsucking carnist who consumes animal flesh?
That kind of stuff is all well and good in vegan spaces for having a laugh between people already in the culture but outside you have to be way more careful.
I turned vegan because people shouted at me that my behaviour was unethical and forced me to think. We do the same to people all the time. We dunk on chuds online because we're right, we know we're right, they're being ghouls. Omnivores just don't like realising they're doing the same with animal rights. I act like an asshole because I'm fucking angry. I'm so fucking angry that this is happening. And that people who are good people refuse to think this through and realise this. If you admit that animals have sentience, you can't morally justify eating them. And I'm not gonna coddle anyone until they realise that.

Well first you would have to consider the ability to suffer as something you would want to avoid inflicting upon another being.
This is counter to the foundation of this website and anyone saying such blasphemy should be kicked back to r/politics
Also this is a vegan space :im-vegan:
Trying to change people's minds by being really nice doesn't work and has never been something this site does lol.
Demanding hog pics is fine but vegans need to be uwu wholesome or they'll hurt my feelings :(
