Exactly. A tactic they favor considerably — especially when mixed with gaslighting.
For instance:
A woman says "Star Wars was never good. It was always a misogynistic film promoting the patriarchy and sexism!"
People arrive and point out how ridiculous that is — because it is.
The woman then switches to: "The toxic fanbase is now attacking me for defending women's rights. All I wanted to do is raise awareness on women's issues! It's not right to launch a hate-campaign because of what I said!"
The people pretty much get bored and leave. Confused how the crybully mob somehow made them the "bad guys" of the situation.
The woman immediately returns to her bullshit rhetoric, antagonizing others in order to garner attention she she can victimize herself again for attention.
You'll see some variation in many facets of modern culture. It's a clear sign of an intellectually lazy ideologue.
