> "even assholes have a basic right to exist"

The problem is when some assholes are actively engaged in denying basic rights from others. If you say "well those assholes have a right to exist", you're effectively saying "the assholes have more of a right to exist than the people they're trying to erase."

Could you clarify what basic rights you are referring to, whose existence ”the assholes” are trying to erase, and what methods they are using to do so?

I think they're talking about the creator of JS giving money to a political cause trying to block gay marriage.

There was a big huff about it in the tech space for a while when it happened and he ended up secluding himself after that for a while.

It was really not a good look. In the years since, we've seen a much larger push to shine the spotlight on behaviour that would have previously been swept under the rug or hidden behind technological "tenure".

Not all assholes are denying rights from others, there is plenty of equal opportunity assholes.
