Will the path of vegan consumerism eventually cause a shift in the animal rights narrative?

Veganism is gaining popularity, and yet, the excitement and endless curiosity associated with vegan celebrities and vegan food do not seem to extend to animal rights, the core aspect of veganism.

There seems to be an inescapable assumption that the prevalence of the vegan lifestyle will lead to an increase in the concern over the welfare of nonhuman animals. However, the ideological mainstream narrative regarding the animal rights movement seems to be unwaveringly poor.

The position of nonhuman rights still remains an "extreme" one and those advocating for said rights remain fringe "extremists," and nonhumans are still largely dismissed as collateral damage.

Will the path of vegan consumerism eventually cause a shift in the animal rights narrative? Or are we missing some crucial factor...like the animals themselves?
