I was glad that when I was still on Reddit, I was able to talk someone down from their Russophobia. Some vid showed a Russian guy about to creep on a 20 year old girl and then she catches him and beat him up(no clue what sub it was but that’s standard Reddit content unfortunately). The comments were like “Every Russian person be like:” and “we need to kill off all pedophiles, I.E. Russians” and I talked to them a bit and calmed them down and they basically said they are so upset about the state of the war that they just wish the perpetrators would die, it took a lot of talking to explain that there are some Russians for it some against it and they all have their own reasons for that opinion that we as Westerners would have trouble understanding given our lack of context. Maybe it wasn’t the right path to go down bc it took so long, but it made me feel good that day to change someone’s mind and remind them that we’re all humans, capable of evil acts, mistakes and confusion, no culture or ethnicity has a corner on that market
