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?

    I either do a "yes, that's right, it's not even enough" or pretend what they are saying makes no sense and push for them to explain, which is always hilarious

      The latter is a good idea, I think. I'll try it.
