I ask because there is a persistent stereotype of a bleeding heart vegetarian/vegan who will judge people for eating any sort of meat, but I've yet to encounter anything remotely like this in the real world. I have plenty of vegetarian friends and colleagues and have not heard a single world of judgement or scorn from any of them. They genuinely don't care.

Really, I've encountered a lot more hostility and mockery in the opposite direction: people who get offended and defensive when they discover someone doesn't eat meat. Obviously, it's not everyone or even the majority. Just that they exist.

I'm not a vegetarian myself nor do I strive to become one (though I have managed to reduce my meat consumption in recent years because using black beans instead of chicken for your protein is a great money saver). Just something I've noticed.

What have your experiences been?
