Guy, you do realise that the entire story is made up? None of those tweets or accounts are real? Sheesh.

  yes it's a fake example, but the general trend is real. You can see real instances of this mock story play out regularly.

  No, I did not realize that. How could I know? There is no text explaining that this isn't real and the screenshots look real enough. It's not like the story would be uncommon or important enough that I'd care to actually look it up myself. If they are mocking the outrage culture, it may be even worse since Buzzfeed is one of the media outlets carrying a big part of developing it.

    Woosh. So you entirely missed the point of the satire, got outraged, and yet Buzzfeed is the one with the outrage problem?

  I'd like to applaud the person making up the fake names and bios, because they are absolutely spot on parodies.
