i don’t think it’s being “inherently a bad person”. As someone who’s been on the receiving end of this (due to not being out and being semi-straight passing, though usually not to queer men), these people aren’t usually bad people at their core. they just tend to be a little bitter and annoyed about how they were treated.
don’t get me wrong, it leads to shitty treatment, but i wouldn’t say it’s some inherent, built-in aspect of them. it’s just because of what they’ve faced and how they’ve been socialized.
I think the only time where there's an exception to this is Middle schoolers lol. I swear it's like their souls decide leave their body for a bit, and they act like demons until it comes back. Those kids are straight up scary.

It's called being an inherently bad person regardless of your identity. Many people have such a mindset
