I think it's what happens when critical takes get upvotes.
that i can certainly agree is the leading causal factor.
the rise of hate watching content channels in the wake of the new Star Wars trilogy and Fantastic Beasts film, on the back of the mishandled Game of Thrones ending, has been a plague on society. as if we needed any more reason to be cynical.

culture war 101:
this is just what happens when outrage media blows up every story about a minuscule minority of people in order to scare-monger about them, to fabricate a MASSIVE culture war battlefield over an issue that barely affects anyone who is now so up in arms about it.
cynical grifters pretend that creating a more inclusive and equal society with basic rights for everyone is somehow the end of the world, and simple-minded bigots swallow that shit, hook, line, and sinker - like they always did (suffragette movement, civil rights, gay rights...). imagine using your MASSIVE platform to push back against rights for minorities, and then getting your knickers in a twist over the backlash for it...
no one has the right to make people say "men menstruate too". you have to get really loose with the idea of rights to claim JKR is "anti trans rights".
change my mind in a non 30 min youtube format if u like.
