Yeah, I guess that is it. The existence of the vegan is a moral judgement of everyone else's food choices, so they get hate. The existence of the vim user reminds you of that one time you gave it a shot and it didn't stick, so it makes you feel attacked the same way.

I want to say one thing in defence of vegans, you only know about the vegans who tell you they are vegans. These people are actually the people-who-like-to-tell-you-they-are-vegans.
There a lot of vegans who don't eat animal products and just leave it at that. Like my partner who just cooked me an anchovy pizza.
You never hear about the just-a-vegan-and-god-knows-why-you'd-want-to-tell-everyone, because they creep through the world, in absolute dread of being discovered by the like-to-tell-people-they-are-a-vegan people.
But anchovy is a fish ... how is that not eating animals?

I had to stop and think about that, too :)
I think what the poster meant was "My partner is a vegan (implication: they would never eat anchovies), but they just made me an anchovy pizza so that I can eat my non-vegan food happily." I.e., their partner doesn't eat animal products but the partner isn't judging their choice to eat animal products.
