Maybe the solution is to just leave that cesspool that is Twitter? Seems like the harassment has less to do with being a minority and more with angering the Shitter mob which can happen to anyone.
Reading some of the responses in this thread, I feel my emotions rising like they used to on twitter. I want to respond to a lot of these comments.
But when I start typing out a response, I take a step back and say to myself, "what the fuck are you doing, man?" You're arguing some micro point on the internet. You're not going to change this person's mind, you're just trying to make a jab to get some karma so you can feel like your viewpoint is at least justified and makes sense to other people."
Then I realize what a dumb waste of time this is - I already know that my viewpoint isn't all that radical and may people share it. There's no sense in getting upset about this, or trying to assert what I think. I've done it a thousand times before.
So I'm gonna leave this thread and go play some video games instead. Hopefully that isn't too bro-y a thing to do.
Being amped up to 11 for a good chunk of your day is definitely not healthy for you, and probably makes you lose sight of the actual problems going on around you.
I may check Twitter once/week, but never post. It's honestly too stressful to try and figure out if what I post can be misinterpreted in some odd way because of the enforced brevity.

It's everywhere. The problem is ultra sensitive people from mainly the US.
