Yeah, I think a lot of things of this sort online would be healthier if they were more "I will make the choices I want in space I control, and I don't need to justify it" and less "I am going do demonstrate how Good I am by vocally rejecting things that are Bad and Wrong!" Among other things, a lot of people don't seem to get that they can just make choices and have boundaries because they want to, so you get people scrambling for reasons why stuff the find subjectively uncomfortable or distressing is morally wrong. And the means things like trigger warnings and DNIs, which should theoretically make it easier to have and respect boundaries, get turned into ways to stigmatize certain things and generate more conflict.
