Every time I see “backlash” in a news headline it’s always just Twitter culture warriors who are always angry about something

Literally from the article:
And that's it for citations on this "backlash". "This story is fucking trash" and since one person on kbin said that, it must be true!
Sometimes I read this garbage and I feel like it's that part from Mean Girls.

I’m pretty confident it’s always the writer who smells an opportunity for clicks, do they write the story first then look for a source.
If they luck out, they’ll find it trending. But mostly it’s the “one person on Twitter” scenario.
The worst part is when the content gets shared.

500 clicks in an hour, half a goddamned penny of ad revenue, then it’s time to move on to the next droplet of junk content.
