Also a weird opinion to have, if everything you believe makes you think someone is actively immoral, why on earth would you tolerate that?

because believe it or not, it's possible to disagree with people without violently hating them

It is possible to disagree with people on matters of personal taste but if you actually believe that someone is trying to actively destroy all that is good and holy in the world because they think that sex isn't binary or whatever these idiots believe, then no, you should definitely violently hate that person because you think they're doing something utterly monstrous.

most people don't conflate "made some videos calling me a dumbass" with "trying to actively destroy all that is good and holy in the world" and don't treat somebody who did the former as if they're doing the latter

Erm, have you seen the volume of output these idiots have about people who make videos espousing viewpoints they disagree with?

If they don't consider it a mortal evil then I dread to think what might happen if they discover something they do.

part of being a social being is balancing your actions with those of your peers, e.g. if somebody makes videos about you, you make videos about them back but you don't mail a box of feces to them unless you're genuinely hosed up in the head as opposed to just differently opinionated

I'm not sure making videos for years about videogame feminism lady is indicative of a balanced social person.

I mean, I don't really think I do, if you're palling about with the all-but-self-described nazis I don't really see a reason to give you the benefit of the doubt.

I've never sat down and thought "OK yes this person is part of a community that espouses utterly vile opinions but they might not be a complete dickhead I should devote time to figuring it out."

I don't know guys. It seems to me that the real problem is we aren't being nice enough to people with such mild views as: all muslims are evil terrorists, black people are genetically inferior, women already have perfectly equal rights to men and nothing needs to be done for them, and trans people are icky. Surely you can see how these are perfectly fine and normal views and not at all something to be mocked and ostracized for!
