And the people who seem to try and twist everything anyone says into something they can be offended by.
It must be an exhausting way to live.
- SpicyLemonZest 8y agoThe problem isn't professional outrage trolls. All of us sometimes take a comment the wrong way, inferring an insult where none was present. The problem is that Twitter's design makes it very likely for someone who's having a bad day and doesn't have any context to see your post.

The intended recipient of the call-out isn't the "called" but the audience the message is broadcasted "out" to, as you get to establish yourself as superior not just to the target but also all the people not as woke who didn't call the person out. Twitter lends itself to that, as does most social media. Other forms of more direct communication have much less of a call-out culture.
