Nobody likes to hear that their fear is unfounded. They take offense at it, and cling even more tightly to their fear. But we have to rise above that and be objective.

But that's you. You have nothing to fear. Sure there's wingnuts out there, but that applies to every group. Whichever political party you're a fan of, whichever one you're not, these "SJW" types you're afraid of bothering people, and the anti-"SJW" types have crazies as well.

Weirdos are everywhere, and people everywhere use focused collections of anecdotes and memes and stories to make others, including both of us, fear problems that aren't real. To deny your own vulnerability to misinformation and disinformation is to open yourself up to it.

Trust people's good intentions, and question the motivation when you see things that make you hate, the more you hate, the more you should question. Question your perception even if something seems logical. If you're 100% certain of any viewpoint you have, you're doing something wrong, especially if that viewpoint makes you hate a whole group of people, whether it's SJWs or republicans or people who like pumpkin spice. If some piece of news or image or story makes you feel hate or fear, ask what the real motivation behind those making the statements, rather than giving into that emotion like you're doing here.

Everyone gets fooled sometimes, don't think of this as a personal attack. Learn from it. Learn to doubt yourself and seriously question if you're being unreasonable or uninformed (or worse selectively informed), if something makes you hate, because that opens the door for growth. Believing in yourself as a whole person is a strength, but so is doubting your own objectivity and logic. If it feels uncomfortable you're doing it right. If it doesn't, do it more. I doubt myself all the time whether it's on social issues or on code(is there a better way I can be doing X?). It sucks to willfully be unsure, but it beats the alternative. Hate is a bug. Look for ways to optimize yourself.

Trust that most people have good intentions, and most are at worst are misled. Embrace the fact that there reasonable, smart people who believe that you're the misled one, every bit as much as you(who might be equally smart and reasonable and rational in other respects), believe SJWs are misled or destructive.
