I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:

“the saying used to be ‘it’s too good to be true’ has morphed into ‘it’s too horrid to be false.’”

On reddit it’s usually best to just assume something is for attention

I agree. It can go either the way, the story is written in such a manner for people to be angry. However, I could easily see someone becoming so brain washed by conservative media to actually believe this.

It is documented that watching Fox News is terrible. Or that people will believe even the most insane conspiracy theory. I think it’s safe to assume that there are indeed people out there who do believe pronouns only exist because of trans people and the “Left”.

If I agree with it, it must be real.
