Thank goodness someone said it. I was a kid/teen then but there were certain accounts that really rubbed me the wrong way, it was the nascent beginnings of the current culture linked to outrage/cancelling/extreme "sensitivity"/whatever you want to call it. So much narcissism and cult building around being "special", duping vulnerable kids who feel misunderstood. Only later did I realise the lies.
