Did TA make you more tolerant?

[rein]

I was always tolerant of autists.

[Teutone]

Did shoving my dick in a shredder improve my sexual life?

TA only makes you hate foreigners even more

[Marinus]

Neither.

People on the internet are often toxic as there are no repercussions for disrespecting others online, but this is widely known, and that's what I expected more or less upon joining TA, the vitrioil is actually worse than I expected though lol

With that in mind, I cant't blame whole nations or ethnicities for the arseholery of a single person or small group of people over an internet forum.

There are ethnicites of which I favour and others of which I want out of my country(ies), but those stem from real life experiences and not from TA.

Neither more nor less in case of Whites. It made me more weary of other non-White groups like Asians, Mestizos, MENAs, though. I had a more non-White view of the world before TA. Now I just support Black people.

[Phenix]

Tolerant in regard to what? races, ethnic groups, cultures, religions, or politics?
In a general measure I kept my same thoughts and feelings about different groups of people, I don't base my judgment on few virtual encounters.

Well I will add my observation - how I perceive some people on here and my focus is concentrated on people from ex-communist countries. I will not mention nickname despite especially one person is on my mind. There is a boy from a Balkan country, he is very young and he all the time tries to defend his country. Many people from EE have it.
That boy is a very typical example. It is so visible on him how much he suffers when reading all that hate against his nation, he has already started to believe he is nothing, he comes from a shitty country and everybody looks down on him. This is very bad for his psychical health.

I remember after I started to be active on here and I read all those bad things about my nation - I got the same impression, everybody looks down on us, we are perceive like a dirty Slavic nation, subhumans. I even contacted several Czechs who lived abroad and asked them about their experience - if they are seen as trash everywhere. Nobody no a single person confirmed me that. In a longer period of time I realized that the internet is full of people who have issues on the personal level - and to attack others, to try humiliate others is their way for a ventilation of their frustrations. Now when something like that happens first of all I ask myself who the fuck is the person on the other side and I tend to feel sorry for them. I can say my TA's experience made me be stronger. I wish all people from ex - communistic countries could reach my attitude.

The truth is that I tolerate the whole world. I do not hate any country, some countries may have customs that I do not like, but even without getting to the point of hating them, that does not mean that I love the whole world and all countries. Speaking of the Poles, if you judge a country of 37 million for only 4 Internet idiots is becoming a very ignorant person, it is also true that people from the Internet and real life are different.

Some people accused me of having Anglophobia and of hating the United Kingdom or the Anglo-Saxon countries, all that is a lie. On the contrary, I really like the Anglo world. I only made some criticisms without trying to hate the UK and also without insulting and judging its citizens, and as I criticized the UK (a healthy criticism) I can also criticize any country in the world, including mine, as long as it is without hate intention.

If this place didn't allow the presence of any kind of significant opposition, it would have been just another masturbating Stormfront.

[Brian O'Conner]

Yes, to be honest, i was very racist before i joined. But after seeing that non-white and mixed persons can also be awesome and interesting, i changed my concepts. We are all humans after all.

[Gooding]

TA introduced me to an appreciation of a wider range of diversity regarding people and their points of view, so in that way, I suppose that I could say that TA has made me more tolerant.
