My point was many people would choose the more ethical option to get the same product, if one is available. As proven by various "green" options in other product categories being popular.

I'm not sure what point are you trying to make now. It's seems like some no true Scotsman.

"I would stop sexually assaulting people if there was a more ethical option but sadly there isn't, so I have to go on =((("

Certainly an... unconventional example to apply it on, but you got the gist of the idea, yes.

A less edgy example could be "I would buy drinks in a returnable glass bottle, but sadly everything is sold in disposable plastic bottles where I live, so I don't have that option". If you prefer such sexual examples, you do you.

Nah, I like my analogy better, since it highlights the direct injustice done to the individual.

The point is, you do have the choice to simply stop, you just don't give a shit about animals, just like someone who values their sexual pleasure over the bodily autonomy of their victims doesn't give a shit about them either.
