how dare you wish that people who demand empathy practice it themselves?!

j/k. seriously. you have basically solved the answer to the universe right above. if people treated each other with respect, even when they don't know who is right and who is wrong, we'd all be better off.



"Disgusting trolls" is, I think, a fair description of their online persona, as the chief characteristics of their behaviour appears to be sexism, bullying and cowardice. Now, that's not all of who they are, and as human beings, I accept that their actions are symptoms of underlying problems (well-adjusted people don't normally engage in this kind of behaviour), and I wish them to get better, this attitude is toxic to both their victims and themselves.


Fairness or improving; pick one.
