They're an existence proof of why the reasonable person principle doesn't work in practice.
If you assume this is performative, it's an exploit to control the environment the RPP is in. If it's authentic, then it's a person who cannot bridge the gap to meet the reasonable people, therefore the reasonable people must comply with the demands of the authentic and aggrieved person.
Probably best to assume that for MOST people, operating by a Reasonable Person Principle is best. You've got to account for outliers, though. You can't operate both a reasonable person principle, and total inclusivity, at the same time.

It's a lot easier to assume reasonableness if there's a giant gate in front labeled Everyone Who Passes Through Here Has Gone Through The Admissions Process... and a giant slide in the back labeled That's A Nice Academic Career You Have, It'd Be A Shame If You Violated The Institution's Code of Conduct Similarly, the reasonable person principle tends to work in practice on this forum thanks to moderation, votes, and the extremely occasional ban. The parent of the comment you replied to is getting harder and harder to read as the day goes on.
