but if those people mess up and know they messed up they usually apologize, i feel like people only lash out when they try to justify it or dont care
i have a friend who was recently called cis scum even though he was incredibly sincere and apologetic when it was brought to his attention that he mistakenly made a misogynistic/transphobic reference; it was an innocent error and he was eager to learn how he could improve this in the future but instead he was met with a dismissive and insulting attitude
so yes that is sometimes the case but there are also people who will lash out simply because they probably feel so insecure with themselves that they have to control the mindset of everyone around them
