My question is what constitutes a "hate campaign"? If you write some anti-Trump article on reddit and then gets upvoted by 200k people, is that a hate campaign? Why isn't reddit moderating 99% of their content?
My problem with this definition is that "operating a normal life" is subjective and prone to abuse. In the case of SBI, I don't doubt that at least a few guys did insult/ threaten SBI staff as a result of the coverage the entire thing got. I expect the usual suspects to post articles with screenshots of tweets in the next few days. However this happens if you criticize anyone on the internet, I'm old enough to remember what happened if you dared criticize Disney Star Wars on main subs. I bet if I even criticize Taylor Swift on a Taylor Swift forum I'll get plenty of death threats. So where do we draw the line for what constitutes a "hate campaign" in the online medium?
Would be nice if we got an actual definition before we get a woke one where "directed against marginalized" or some other bullshit.
It was like that almost everywhere, even outside the internet. I remember expressing my frustration to a buddy of mine at the time stating, "I cannot even say no thank you anymore! It is either all praise or you are a bigot!" as I explained why I had stopped being a Star Wars fan.
I guess divesting myself from Star Wars early to escape the brightsided narrative was a small blessing as I can only imagine how much angrier I would be at the continued defilement of a once cherished brand.
I took me a while to realize that this is on par for anything the left takes over though. Eat the shit or else.
