The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Whenever I start hearing mockery I just think of the people as actual apes. Humans are hard wire to maintain consensus and when you challenge that they are unable to process it and fall back on more base behaviors. Mockery is an easy one because it works because most people, as apes who desire acceptance and consensus, will go back to the group.
