Unpopular opinion but I agree. I find it weird how we judge historical figures by current morality. One day meat eating will probably be seen as barbaric, does that mean any famous figures from current times that aren’t vegans will be scrubbed from history?

I understand the sentiment behind pulling them down, but still find it strange and maybe even counter productive. You know, so we don’t make the same mistakes
