Other Why the animosity towards BJJ?

I'm just wondering why I often see Judo people ragging on BJJ people. I see this a lot when a BJJ guy posts a video demonstrating a Judo throw. In the comments there will usually be a bunch of angry Judo people saying things like "BJJ = basically just Judo", and things like that.

I have been noticing this for years, but why?

I think both arts are awesome, and it would be great if we could just combine them into one big, beautiful art!

Because bjj is a degenerate art full of weed smoking steroid using flat earth types. The culture is repulsive. (Dojo owner who really really tried coexisting)

You know, I don't care if people smoke weed as I'm not convinced it's necessarily worse than alcohol. But I'll tell you what, I've seen a number of people rolling high in a way that would never be acceptable at the judo dojos I've trained at in regards to weed or if you came in smelling like the inside of a whisky bottle. Maybe it's safe, I don't know, but doing the things we do makes me uneasy when people are intoxicated.
