(will do :D I was just lazy about using the DW user tag)
Part of it is that tone is hard to parse over text, another is that everyone is so primed to defend themselves at the slightest hair trigger that they misinterpret and sometimes assign blame where there is none.
I think a lot of it has to do with the current cancellation/problematic/anti culture as well. If someone disagrees that this Thing is Good, then it is possibly Problematic! and we all know if something is Problematic, you are Bad for liking it. So you must prove it is Good so you will not be Bad.
Sometimes I want to nail 'bad taste doesn't a bad person make' to people's foreheads. in mirrored writing as well, so they can brush up on that lesson as well. But yeah, no clue how to stop it or start solving it, beyond being the change we wish to see in the world?
