I am super into social justice, which is why assholes piss me off so much. I can deal with ignorance and people who make possibly offensive mistakes just cause they don’t know better; everyone’s always learning something new and evolving as a person. So I can calmly inform them of the facts (with hopefully minimal bias) and let them come up with their (hopefully correct) opinions. But what I can’t stand is people who not only are aware and informed but also actively campaign or work against a cause for helping people just out of spite or misplaced anger. Like online anti- sjw trolls. Those people are the bane of my existence. Even when they are done as satire, its the internet. People can’t always tell what is and isn’t satire and so they are either knowingly of unknowingly promoting hate against people. which then just feeds into this cycle of assholes believing they are being supported by other assholes and so are more vocal and more influential and people who want to help can’t do anything because of that small percentage of people who wont shut up. Sorry for the word vomit.
