There seems to be a very specific pattern where someone says a problem is not as bad as it's made out to be, and they are immediately jumped on as an enemy who is not "serious" about the issue by those wishing to position themselves as being "tough on X" for whatever reason. It doesn't seem to happen in the other direction much, ie there seems to be little negative consequence about getting too excited about a particular problem. One sees this all the time: - outrage about someone saying that, all things considered, paedophiles are not a particularly large risk to children - outrage about someone saying that terrorists are not the huge threat they are made out to be - outrage about someone saying we should consider a more nuanced, pragmatic approach to drug strategy - outrage about someone saying that maybe the IT industry is not solely comprised of misogynistic psychopaths out to crush every woman under their boot at every chance I really hate this pattern. Needless to say there is little nuance to any of the smears, it's all just claims of "terrorist sympathiser" or "he's just sexist too". Is there a name for it?
