Maybe Americans are just particularly insufferable but I've lived in France and the UK and nobody vegan ever went too hard or long about it. Just hasn't been my experience, maybe that was more accurate a decade or so ago?
It's do-gooder derogation. People get upset when they see someone else being more moral than them. Instead of trying to either grow themselves or accept their own imperfections, they lash out.
And some people just like being part of the in-group, and see vegans as an easy out-group to mock.
