Well most monsters can't help being monsters either. "I'm a vampire and I don't want to be" is a VERY established trope that really saw a surge in popularity in the 90s. That trope is also at the very core of the werewolf myth, and it's present in zombie stories too. You know, the survivor who hides their zombie bite and gets everyone else killed through their hubris. They didn't choose to be bitten by a zombie, but they did choose to harm others through their actions. Like you! You're a monster movie trope.
People like you make me depressed and sad. Would you rather I stop eating meat and just die from malnutrition? Maybe I should just die.
I oppose violence in all forms. You ending your life would be a violent act, just as you paying to have animals killed so you can eat them is a much greater violent act.
And honestly your post is giving me suicidal thoughts. Im a monster right?
