It's social media. These days we aren't allowed to discuss anything philosophical or scientific, without having it called a "dogwhistle for <something_bad>", and then a few thousand people pile on you, and someone posts a death threat because you're some type of racist or bigot. And some of these people work for organisations that are supposed to promote scientific enquiry, skepticism and rational thought.
