I’d consider it more like someone saying they are tired of talking about conflict, hunger and disease.

You think it implausible that somebody might grow weary of discussing such dreary things?
It’s totally plausible and not really all that respectable to whine about it. Especially in this context where one option they have is simply not to click on the article.
No, but it is not so high minded and praiseworthy as your example implied.
Then maybe they should choose to adopt some non-dreary political beliefs to embrace that they can rationally and honestly defend without lying and gaslighting, so they don't get so weary of people being offended and disagreeing with them. Then they wouldn't have to play the victim and complain about cancel culture so dramatically.
