Why did you have to prefix your comment with “reaction”? Isn’t that assumed? Or can people interpret it in another way?

It's a disclaimer of sorts - "this is my immediate reaction, probably somewhat emotional, which should not be taken too personally nor too seriously".
If you don’t want anyone to take it personally or seriously, then maybe don’t post it
Such things are matters of degrees, and humans use all sorts of intonations, gestures, tags, emoticons, and such, to provide similar disclaimers. Being neither young nor on-line enough to feel myself fluent in the current local dialect of those, I fall back to something that feels workable, if rather clumsy.
Yes I suppose that there are always going to be people that respond with vitriol, yourself included.
I think it’s fine, I was just curious.
