You can see who the vegans are in this comment section by trying to make it some moral issue
You can see who isn’t vegan by the comments talking about vegans being annoying
IRL these groups don’t interact as much, if you bring both to a barbecue then you will find the above sentiment again

Veganism at its core is a moral stance. If not for the moral issues, these people would probably be vegetarian instead. That’s not to say that all vegans are the aggressive evangelist kind, but pretty much all vegans choose their diet out of moral concerns (in addition to health and environmental reasons).

That’s great you feel that way but
The other side doesn’t care/think about it/feel that way
The not in your face vegans aren’t in your face so they wouldn’t mention it and remain unknown so they don’t shape people’s perceptions

What “other side”? Vegans? I suppose there are some who are just sort of “cultural vegans” too, where they don’t have a moral stance, but are vegan because their friends or family are.
I’m not sure if maybe you’re reading more negativity in my comment than I meant. There’s certainly nothing wrong with animal welfare as a moral stance.

Non-vegan
I don’t believe the people who aren’t vegan view their choice as a moral decision
