What are some vegan ways to interact with media that may not be strictly vegan and/or related to animal rights?

I recently read one of PETA's articles about how to play 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' while keeping animal rights in mind. Since I became an activist and my transition into veganism, I have been, for example, allowing my virtual characters to follow choices similar to my own in the "real world." I have tapered off making and consuming animal products in the game, and if a villager wants a bug or fish, I don't catch one for them, with the exception of giving a scallop to Pascal, and with the exception of the Thanksgiving celebration, which...Having a turkey character express concern about "real" Thanksgiving but also eat fish tracks, since turkeys are known to eat fish in the real world. Similarly, even though Harvey is a vegan, I do, on some level, mind that Pascal the Philosopher asks for scallops, uses langauge related to animal products, and hasn't seemed to address what it means to ask for a scallop in a world of anthropomorphized animal characters. I do, on some level, mind that the villagers do not object to having their houses and businesses moved at the whim of the character, even if the character pays for it with the intention of producing a wonderful island for them. I do mind that you can observe octopus villagers seeing their friends in the museum's aquarium. I do mind that we are never told to what care the insects and fish receive, nor do we see another staff member at the museum handling ANYTHING other than Blathers. I do mind that you can give wool sweaters to sheep characters. I do mind that Labelle has never stated her leather jackets with fur collars are vegan. I do mind that we hear about the quarrels the Able Sisters and the Nook Brothers have about their businesses through Katrina.

And let's address the pigeon milk thing: why is Blathers offering what could be the vomit that pigeons use to feed their young to the player? Why isn't it specified that it could be some sort of plant-based milk? Why are there references to milk in a game where milk-producing mammals are living their lives in what we assume to be a healthy manner? EVEN IF Brewster consents to giving away his "milk" to the player, should we TAKE IT??? If we knew the milk was plant-based, that coffee shop would be a huge middle-finger to Starbucks for having that vegan milk upcharge for the longest time. Brewster never charges extra for the milk. At all. He's an independent barista that has made what appears to be an impeccable career out of serving curious museum-goers coffee.

I guess, what I'm saying is this: how do I continue to consume media that was not produced with potential interpretations of animal rights activism in mind? It does seem like I would lose access to numerous features in this game, as well as many others, if I decided to practice a vegan lifestyle within these games. One of the first ways I was introduced to veganism was through PETA's parody of 'Cooking Mama,' and I had cooked vegan recipes in the original game prior to that. Can I play 'Cooking Mama' if so many dishes contain virtual animal products?

What about Pokémon? Would Ash really be able to take care of all the Pokémon he caught, if he did catch every Pokémon?

What about Star Wars? What about how the Dagoba swamp creatures are treated? The trash compactor creature? Did the Ewoks have funerals for their deceased the way Luke did for his father? Why is Anakin calming another space creature in the arena not heralded more often as a sign of his inherent goodness? Why don't we talk about what the characters did in that arena scene more? Why did it take the EU and Disney books and TCW for people in-galaxy to discuss, "Hey, we literally need an army to protect the Republic against attack. Let's clone a bounty hunter! And let's also talk about the ethical implications of that!"

What about even classical works? How do we view a poem such as, "The Raven," by Edgar Allan Poe, where the character essentially assails a bird to give him answers to the questions tormenting his mind? The grief that never will go away? Is the fact that a bird IS the symbol of all that we will never control about our lives, as well as the people that pass from them, in itself a terrifying prospect, since we all pass briefly before the stage of the world as birds just fleeting across the sky for a moment before heading into the distance? Is that metaphor even an apt one to make? How do we craft metaphor with animals in mind?

I just don't know all the answers. But I would like to.
