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?

    Often times just saying "hell yeah" is great because people who are through it will find it hilarious. Those who don't see through it can be won over in conversation.

    Ignore the response from the OP you replied to

      Sounds like it might work! Thanks.

      Which response, by the way?

        “all white people are evil” to “I don’t want to work. That’s why I am a leftist”

        things like these. just say "hell yeah!" and then peace out of the thread
