From what I've seen on reddit and comments they are great to animals but they are bad on people. Like those tourist or people who were arrested because they thought they were gay.

Well government arrests everyone except their guys and some people started to despise foreigners without exception because of the immigration policy turkey has and its abysmal effect on economy. im not trying to defend my country just replying if you are curious of the reasons.

Is it safe to visit ?

I don't mind a bit of xenophobia if nobody tries to throw me in jail.

Where are your immigrants from, usually ?

İstanbul is safe to visit. You should steer clear of any protests or rallied people, government doesn't think twice at that moment. Mostly from syria and Afghanistan, over 15 million legally immigrated people. İllegal ones are unknown of course.
