> The mob responds with a 1-sentence emotional meme. Classic moral panic 101.

it was one person.

im writing this comment 1 hour after yours, and still only a single person has responded and you’ve called one person, a mob. you’ve declared one person commenting to be a “moral panic.”

I shall echo the comment of pibaker with one caveat.

>The exact same sentiment is widely observed across this entire website.

You do see this sentiment across this website, but this doesn't mean that it is a view held by the majority of people here, the people motivated to act can create the illusion that their opinions are more widely held than they are.

A few days ago I posted a comment which, in it's entirety reads

>Perhaps things would work out better if people didn't say mean things regardless of who it's about.

>You can still criticise without being mean.

The comment sits at -4 today, and has one antagonistic response. I don't really think most people disagree with this sentiment.

The antagonistic response came from the same one person as the comment in this thread.
