"These assholes" is a phrasing that really fucking bothers me here. It sets up this ridiculous "me against the world" mentality that's self-destructive and isolating, and you're refusing to accept that people are fallible and do offensive things, overwhelmingly out of the fact that they don't realize that they're offending or hurting anyone. It creates this feeling of a crusade where there is none, where you're the protagonist of an epic with waves of faceless, evil enemies bombarding you and that is not the case. They are also people, just like you, who face aggression and upsetting situations and who do in fact care about others.

Well said.

And what about the people who don't, in fact, care about others, and deal with their own misery by making everyone else miserable? The problem is it's impossible to tell, at first sight, the difference between people who make unintentional mistakes and will feel bad if they realize they've hurt someone, and people who are consciously nasty because it makes them feel better and who won't stop until someone deals with them. Each individual is in a battle against those kind of people every day, and the hardest part is picking them out of the lineup. So yeah, some days it is you against everyone, because the only one whose intentions you know for sure is yourself.

I'd argue that a person that is genuinely unfeeling and only wants to make other people suffer is incredibly rare, and assuming that every single person that makes a crude/hurtful joke or comment in ignorance is one of them is not only disingenuous to the extreme, but reinforcing the earlier-mentioned self-destructive and isolating behavior. No, it's not you against everyone, and thinking so is just excusing yourself of the responsibility of treating others as human beings instead of antagonists.

Well, there's an openly homophobic, transphobic, racist, misogynistic (except for misogynistic, he happily admits to all of these things) guy who worked with me for two years. I'm a queer, bi-racial woman so you can imagine how much fun that was. I did shush him with facts every time he started up one of his diatribes, but I didn't actively start these conversations.

The crazy thing is aside from his rampant bigotry he's actually a really nice, funny person.

Still, I was glad when he was moved off my team, sad when he came back, and so fucking happy he is now gone for good in a position where they'd have to hire and train someone new to make him return which isn't happening because placing a new hire in our team would be less hassle. <3
