A lot of the creepiness stuff comes from online social justice people. Sadly, there is a lot of nastiness in the social justice area of the internet (See this article). I am female and a feminist and I've been accused of being Worse Than Hitler on occasion. That doesn't mean there's no value in the social justice movement, so I still read blogs, but I discard a lot of it!
Well, some people want to help others, but some people simply enjoy screaming at others... and screaming at someone from a position of a good person (member of the tribe of everything good) feels so deliciously righteous.
Should we cynically assume that social justice is not about social justice, but about feeling superior to outsiders? For some people this seems correct.
This statement is quite spot on, and in more ways than you realize. There must be something about this particular form of self-styled "social" and "political" engagement (it is of course nothing of the sort) that makes folks especially likely to exhibit Great Internet F****ad behavior. Thank goodness it's all harmless Internet fun of no consequence for the real world - but if that wasn't the case I would be seriously creeped out.
