I know the exact type you are talking about, especially among childfree vegans.
Basically there are binaries that try to establish themselves: that all parents ("breeders") are indulgent morons who rampantly spoil their insufferable children and that the childfree/barren/childless are painted saints who suffer the indignant horror with a stiff upper lip.
The other binary is that all childfree/barren/childless are bitter scourges, warlocks, and witches who spend most of their free time wishing death on the breeders and their precious children for the mere crime of expressing their joy to be alive by shouting and being cantankerous.
Both of these binaries are false images that present themselves to be worshipped (idolatry) and fall far short of the big picture. The truth, as usual, is in the complicated middle.
