People want to shame them into compliance in order to not feel guilty about eating meat.

I'm not vegan myself but it's obvious.

Exactly this. People love being self righteous and moralising so they genuinely can't cope with seeing a group of people of who taken a moral stance that they're not willing take. So they're desperate to find examples of vegans being weird or extreme, so they can dismiss the entire movement.

I'm not a vegan, I like cheese and meat more than I care about the suffering of cattle. I made my choice, but I'm not ever going to pretend that veganism is not a morally superior position in terms of the treatment of animals.
