Also define 'casual friend'. The thresholds put on real friendship by the general public have always been far too low imo. God knows how disposable friendships are to today's terminally online young people. Yet even they have seen fit to identify a subset of friends as 'weaker relationships' (in the study), even further downgraded from their normal idea of friendship. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if the trannies and activists they have to pretend to agree with at work and school are actually a more poisonous influence than eg. some reaction youtuber whom they watch movies together with in their head.
