I think the way the rage bait industry works, the details don't matter. They just take a standard formula, add some currently relevant pictures and names, and it serves as a Pavlov style signal to the chuds to flood their systems with adrenaline and cortisol as they hatesturbate at each other.

Like Lara finally being gay on screen probably drew their attention like a guppy swimming past a snapping turtle and this is their nervous system activating reflexively.
