The internet is influencing my personality. is it normal to be like this?

Spending time on discussion boards, I have noticed a lot of people and beliefs that I find reprehensible, and after spending a lot of time on such areas, I feel like I am becoming like them. For example, there is also a presence of racists on some of the forums I go onto and because of that I seem to be developing some racist (both internalized and externalized) views even though I do not agree with them. I also spend time with emotional fools and because of that I am starting to become as emotional and illogical as them. There is also a large presence of militant PETA-like animal lovers (not just people who love animals mind you, but those yandere animal lovers who would likely restart WWI + II to save one animal) on the sites I go to and while I find their views idiotic they are starting to influence me and I feel like I am turning into one of them. I also often encounter a great many people with extreme religious views and I run into them very often online, and I feel like they are influencing me too. For example, I used to love a specific video game until I started running into a bunch of people online who said it was demonic and satanic. I laughed it off at first, but sooner or later I started developing a fear of playing it, and now the mere thought of the game can trigger distress in me. I don't logically think it is evil, but I feel like they have influenced me and my beliefs.

I believe this is partially because I was always told to keep an open mind, and I kinda misinterpreted it to mean you should never dismiss the beliefs of others, no matter how silly it may sound. Hence, I kind of feel like a bigot if I don't take their beliefs into consideration.
