Because when someone cries “Wolf” and it turns out to be a Panther, there was never any problem?
Great logic, very victim blamey.
But now I am a little bit angry about the needless hyperbole and the shoddy fact checking, which does much to divert attention from the fact that valuable resources are actually being destroyed.
That does nothing to divert attention. The inability to distinguish trollies from people of good faith diverts that attention, and that’s on you not the authors of the article.
Again, when someone is being assaulted and cries out for help in a way you could find fault with, it does not absolve the abuser one iota. Unless you, YOU, are so inclined to view the world that way.
