i never got why people think vegan food shouldnt imitate meat, when its made that way specifically to satisfy a craving for meat it's like telling people trying to quit smoking that tobacco replacement products shouldnt try to imitate the real thing

you can't be addicted to meat retard also it's annoying because they'll claim it's "exactly the same" when it's absolutely disgusting
Never mind all that, the artist has no idea what they're talking about. They were so focused on attacking one particular vegan stereotype that they resorted to stereotyping an entire fucking continent for contrast and completely ignoring the entire history of fake meats.
Chinese Buddhists have been making vegan dishes disguised as meat for centuries. Religious converts who missed the experience of eating meat would satisfy their cravings by making imitation crispy duck or imitation prawns out of ingredients like tofu and konjac, and these recipes persist to this day. You can walk into almost any East Asian supermarket and buy this stuff in a can.
Modern imitation meats are just the next stage in the evolution of these foods. The only thing that's changed is the technology we use to make them.
