I feel like we’re playing a semantics game here.
We are definitely referring to the same behavior.
This is, for most people including me, toxic behavior. They have a toxic posting culture.
It helps if you engage with the “takes” before you label them.
Point being that simply calling it a different "posting cultures" isn't just semantic, it's downplaying what they do.
We shouldn't downplay racists, genocide deniers and trolls.
I am downplaying nothing. I call it “culture” because it’s not about a substantive disagreement about politics or ideology. It’s about the way they engage with each other and the world around them. Their collective pattern of behavior. There is a word for that. It’s called culture. And it’s pretty fucking hard to break out of.
I find your insistence to dig in here frankly a bit baffling.
Calling them just "fighters" is downplaying. Calling that a simple "culture", instead using the proper call out like I did, is downplaying.
You telling me to engage and then baffled that I "dig" is making you look like them more and more.
It is technically "culture". It is far from being only that though, and you somehow chose the least incriminating word to describe them.
That is baffling imo.
