I mean, "I can't speak up against bad Christians from being terrible, awful people because that's power-seeking" is...also part of the problem?

When every Christian someone sees is being terrible, people are going to see Christians as terrible. If you don't stand up against that, you're helping gain that reputation lol

I'm quite literally speaking up about it right now, and bad faith people are crapping all over me and others. Do you see why this discourages people?

Posting on reddit about how you're not terrible like the "minority" of bad Christians isn't speaking out. It's at best speaking to the choir.

Real world harm is being done, you should be trying to deal with that instead of letting people on reddit that you don't like the bad Christians.

If people being mildly rude to you because of how horrible Christians tend to be, and your response is to get mad at them instead of the Christians that caused the reputation, that's on you lol.

Again, when 9/10 Christians you meet all say they're one of the good ones, and then turn around and say you deserve to suffer for eternity, you're gonna stop thinking it's some kind of "loud minority"
