Its kinda misleading, there's still animal products in this because of how the food is prepared...
Indeed, unless Burger King is using a completely separate grill for the vegetable burgers, some vegetarians/vegans are going to be upset that their vegetable patty was prepared where meat was and possibly exposed to meat, and there could be kosher/halal issues.

Are vegetarians the target for this? I wouldn't have thought you'd find too many of them in Burger King. I'm not a vegetarian, and do like a burger occasionally. On those rare occasions (usually on long journeys) when I do go to Burger King, if there's a good tasting beef alternative that's easier on the environment than beef, why not.
It's still vegetarian, just maybe not vegan.

#23I like White Castle impossible burgers . But, I actually liked the veggie burgers that Burger King already had . I expect Impossible ones being a step up.

As long as it's described as "meatless" and not "vegan", it's not misleading. It's still vegetarian.
Not if it has meat juice on it due to how its prepared. I realize some people are willing to be handwavey about it...
Frequenting an establishment that profits off of animal products is, of course, a valid issue but that's different than meat juice contamination.

They're certainly not advertising them as kosher/halal.

Can you be more specific? Are you referring to cheese? Do they cook the burger in animal fat?

#28When a true vegetarian is hungry, the first thing that comes to their minds are plant based foods. If the first though is of juicy burgers or bacon or chicken then that person is not a real vegetarian. To be vegetarian is to be vegetarian in mind and identity.
Meatless options are things you offer to omnivores. If you do not identify as a vegetarian, many people will likely not even consider vegetarian options unless you think they offer some benefit for you to reach a goal.
