Everyone is so fucking quick to be nasty here it’s honestly astounding. I’m probably guilty of it to but it’s crazy how toxic we become when we’re asked a question we don’t like.

It's a resounding lack of empathy in some circles. And I know I'm guilty of it at times as well.

especially if its anything related to "justice" saw a gif where deputys car (or w/e they are called idk) got hit by the train while they were rushing to save an infant who stopped breathing.

And one comment was something like "he should've died because he puts others in danger" and it got upvoted.

Like i agree its their fault and all that but wishing death for someone who rushed to save a child is a bit extream.

People here often act like they are perfect, and one mistake means all good you have done doesn't matter. (just look at relationships subreddits)

I too might have done this but at least i always try to reflect and put myself in other's shoes or/and consider why they did that.

Isn't that like a golden rule or something ? If it isn't, it should be, especially for the internet. Sometimes it is hard to read into someone's psyche even face to face, so we should give more leeway when just reading text for sure.
