I mean... Reasonable. "Bullshit" has a particular meaning to me (ala Dykstra's comment on abstraction) that I felt was appropriate; adding syllables is then a particular modifier on that concept (same same but more so, basically) given phonetics and cultural usage. "Fuckin' bullshit" carries more anger, "that's a load of bull" doesn't convey enough dismissal. "Bu-bu-bu-" conveys not only a more-than-usual amount of bullshit, but enough and of the right flavor that it's starting to be humorous in a pyrrhic kind of way.
I'm not actually figuring out a non-loaded term to use instead; the next best that I'm finding are the phrases "head so far up your own ass" and "check your privilege", both of which have their own issues.
AFAIK, when people are willfully ignorant of the plight of others, you call bullshit on their crap. Like replying to ad hominem attacks with fallacy ref memes. Anything else is engaging with the trolls. I'll take suggestions, tho.
Otherwise, thanks!
