it's what "reasonable" people might call "a stretch". as in if these kinds of arguments were made in person, people would roll their eyes and say yeah right, dismiss it, and it'd be over. but on social media all drama is amplified and people assume the worst of intentions by all sides

no one knows who sent what C&D! that's the problem. there's a lot of anger directed based on assumption of who it might have been. then that anger gets turned into "xyz is a *phobe or *phobic" then that label is used to broadcast "canceling" someone because of course once someone says such an accusation it's sufficient to be believed to be true for all time 🙄
