You literally ignored my post saying I understand that there's reasons, especially economic, as to why people cannot cut out animal products, outside the first world and even in the first world. The main flaw of Vegans With A Capital V (hey look - someone being critical of movements even if they think they're well-intended) is that they ignore this reality and aim anger at people who eat meat.
My anger isn't at those who eat meat. My personal anger would be to those in the meat industry and those who prop up a capitalist framework that forces people to 1) be poor and 2) forces poor people to only have easily accessible yet unhealthy, often animal product reliant food.
Actions can be selfish and done in a realistic framework. To call something selfish isn't throwing anger or resentment to these people. Just calling a spade a spade.
Also, see this as to why that point has nothing to do with Azealia:

Many of the people criticizing her have the complete agency to not do the same cruel act she's doing when they choose to eat another living being's flesh.
You'll never get what I'm saying if you view the dichotomy as one party having to be wrong and the other having to be right, when the point being the reality that this issue is subjective and there's lots of people out there who could see Azealia and meat-eaters just as morally corrupt & selfish.
wow, times goes by so fast! One day we will become old before we know it
