In my experience, it's rarely completely one-sided. There are circumstances of people making unprovoked rude or disrespectful comments, but it's normally something done by both sides.

As an example, I'd advise aginst engaging in discussion about religion, politics or sexuality, such as you did here. They're topics that people often have strong opinons due to them being core beliefs of people. You don't walk into a mosque, insult Allah and expect everyone to agree with you.

On the internet you have no way of knowing what sort of people you will interact with, so it's best to steer clear of these topics.
