Maybe. Maybe it's just that for publications to survive anymore they need as many rage clicks as they need earnest ones. I'm fairly certain there's published evidence that that generates more traffic. I'd prefer erring on the side of letting people speak, so my problem is less with articles like this and more with the lack of articles saying this is bullshit. I think we have one of these PC freakouts every once in a while and the smart thing to do is just let it pass and let others' outrage help it jump the shark--an unfortunate collective action problem. |

The possibility that this cynical interpretation is correct is exactly why I made sure all my ublock settings were dialed up to 11 before reading the opinion piece.
