look, at some point youve got to give people some slack.

people dont always read the entire history of an OP whose single post they like or reblog on social media, and shitty people can sound reasonable once in a blue moon, especially when what theyre talking abouts got nothing to do with the subjects theyre shitty about. it doesnt change that fact that theyre a shitty person with shitty opinions, but it does mean they dont always come across that way.

thats why so often you meet someone and think theyre pretty okay until they Open Their Mouth and say that one thing that reveals them to be a douchebag. thats why you can be friends with someone for ages before realising that theyre actually terrible and cutting them off. 

sometimes it takes some probing for the gold to wash off the turd. and with how disconnected people are on social media? that doesnt often happen

i think we all should be more careful about who we support in public forums, especially if we have any kind of influence over others, but come on- someone likes or reblogs a post that seems completely harmless, and it turns out that the OP was a terrible person who believes terrible things? doesnt automatically mean the reblogger supports all those ideas- they might not even know about it.

if you think its relevant, or that the reblogger would care, by all means tell them. id hate to in any way give people with dangerous opinions more of a platform. but, guys. let them know first and hear their response before throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
