    It’s probably a very small number of small-minded people posting on Twitter, but the nature of that platform is that vocal minorities get signal boosted to fuck because of the dunk-tweet format and the algorithm.

      Yeah, it likely is a combination of outrage tourists fomenting a vocal minority response and other twats+bots are boosting the message. Twitter is such a cursed social site, if it’s not Grok creating CSAM and undressing women for weird and desperate men, it’s stirring the pot with patriarchal propaganda or shitty hot takes.
