By that I mean the "I am a feminist and you just triggered me" style of :stupidpol: posting on :reddit-logo: , on numerous game chats, and so on.

There's many versions, from "did you just assume my gender?" to "all white people are evil" to "I don't want to work. That's why I am a leftist" and many more.

Sure, I often say "that's bait" but there's often a lot of enthusiastic barking from :so-true: when the reactionary dog whistle is blown so that doesn't seem to do much.

Ideas?

    Not sure how effective it would be to say "Yes, I'm triggered." To chud culture, that's like the primordial bullseye.

        It kind of sucks when "did you just assume my gender" causes every :le-pol-face: in the vicinity to start howling. It's got to suck for anyone quiet but reading it that isn't in on the edgelordery.
