Because most of these people would be made fun of just for watching these drawings period. "Wow, you still watch this cartoon crap, nerd?" It's double layered. If just watching the drawings period gets you made fun of, what's thinking the drawings are actually attractive going to be like? So, these people make fun of those who find it attractive. Not only that, but it's catharsis. By making fun of those who acknowledge the aesthetically pleasing side of art, it makes them feel better about just watching the drawings. "I may be a nerd, but at least I'm not as bad as that hentai watching guy." Making fun of them for it is just reassurance of this thought.
Oho... shots fired, dude. It's exactly as you said, especially the bolded.
In summation: the ones who say it mostly try to sound cool and/or do it to feel better about themselves.
