The carnist wants to believe that they are inherently superior to any non-human animal and that this superiority gives them the right to torture and hack up their fellow creatures for their own pleasure. One reason among many that veganism tends to offend them so much is that it strikes at their ego, their belief that by virtue of their birth they are the apex of creation, and thus entitled to consume and discard those with whom they share this Earth as they please.
Absolutely, two common reactions I've gotten throughout the years:
"let's talk at length about this, and you should have the answer in depth with all facts and figures to any question I ask and I don't have to have any of that yet I'll strongly defend anything I believe and also make shit up as we go along".
And
"I'm going to pretend you're not here, but also give you stink eye all night, and make a show of not laughing when others are for something you've said, and if anything related to diet and lifeatyle comes up I'll talk shit about your choices but only towards the other people to get conformation and make you feel like you're not even worth breathing towards".
It's so extremely childish and idiotic, sadly that's all one can expect from most carnies.
