Hating espn for how they cover sports these days, doesn't make me a part of espn or a fan or them. Your logic is flawed.

Hating hate speech and openly wishing death to people who openly wish death to people makes you a hate speecher. Your logic is flawed.

What on earth is outrage culture?

I think there's a significant enough difference between false outrage and justified exasperation.
If you're going to unify all of that under one rubric, you'll end up with something as generalized as "opposition culture", which is so general as to be meaningless, everyone's opposed to something or other.

If that's how you feel, then find a way to change and then lead by example. This how character growth can happen. ^_^

This is just a variant of "if I believe in tolerating other cultures, should I tolerate other cultures' intolerance of my own culture?"
The answer that no, being 'tolerant' in general does not mean you are obliged to accept every possible mindset or behaviour from other people, and in fact nor should you tolerate things which oppress yourself or others.
