The problem is that bad behavior is usually more acceptable and tolerated when directed at the vulnerable and disenfranchised.

I am currently homeless. I face a lot of classicism for being open about that online. The cherry on top: When folks tell me the shitty treatment I get is my fault for being open about it. "No one knows your dog online if you don't tell them." In other words, the prejudice is a-okay. If I want to be treated like a person, it is on me to hide my status.

I have reason to believe this approximates the experiences of a great many other groups that are de facto second class citizens.
