How do you deal with these type of situations? Why do people have to make things difficult for others?
Never say anything bad about anyone to others. Only talk good of others and people will start to respect you for not being a faggot

I generally try to counter with something positive and then playfully tease my coworkers about having a rivalry/crush with those they trash talk. For example a lot of people at my old job used to talk a lot a shit about this one dude who was a real party animal. Raves, MDMA, probably had fried half his braincells, etc. And his work ethic was sometimes below average, but nothing to be fired over. However, when people would criticize him for that I would point out how he was really charismatic with the delivery guys and the customers. And that his general positive vibe contributed to the store in ways that were harder to perceive. I would then use myself to prove my point since I was generally the opposite (a hard worker but not exceptionally friendly) and my coworkers would usually see him in a new light.

I wish I could do that, but I'm also a huge coward.

It's just adding more and more layers of bullshit isn't it?
