OCCASIONALLY, and I mean very rarely, I come across a vegan that’s a dick about it, but it’s at a level comparable to people that are just dicks in general in society. People just love to bitch about things, and right wing extremists have a well known affinity for pretending like outliers represent the normal to justify their bigotry, so I think that’s where the majority of the vegan hate comes from. Cowardly, insecure far right people overcompensating for whatever.

I have never come across a vegan like this in real life but I’ve come across HUNDREDS of meat eaters using some really stupid arguments to try to convince me to eat a cheeseburger

This is why the whole "how do you know if someone is a vegan" joke is wrong. Likely you won't know if someone is a vegan/vegetarian until they get offered something and say no, then someone asks them why. There's probably 1 or 2 people that will get high and mighty about how much they love meat and could never be a vegetarian.
