Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone

I think that you will find that these anti-vegans are reacting to the behaviour of the extremist.

I don’t disagree, but then they’ll apply their hatred to the whole (or at least majority) of the group

That, unfortunately, is how it goes. If the only vegans that most people deal with are the obnoxious assholes then they assume that every vegan is an obnoxious asshole.
