With all due respect, a huge shift in tone happened 10 years ago
Yeah...anonymous posting on social media. Any nimrod will say anything his depraved mind can come up with if knows he will get away with it.
I can guarantee you that many of the January 6 protestors have been so twisted around by social media that they thought they were storming the Capitol anonymously.

You may recall that one guy arrested last month, who got busted over proudly using his recorded trespassing as a snapshot/profile picture on a dating service app. Am merely fighting the notion that such extremism is individual and sporadic. The sad reality is, while most radicalize themselves over perceived or real economic hardships, this new shift provide a platform through shared misogyny. A few years ago some neckbeards made a loud uproar about a ban in Japan regarding a "video game" if you can call it that, which served the sole purpose of sexually assaulting female characters on a commuter train, something they felt entitled to. Would not be a problem if some with a flexible spine had not discovered that catering to these bozos is easy money as they're willing to pay anything to the point of personal debt just so they can avoid any content they don't like.
There are virtually no stones left unturned, some aren't even interested in catfights, they just do this because the fighters are attractive, and even more important, due to the nature of the business, self-employed aka self-reliant. That's something they loath. While they themselves oppose societal hierarchy and civil rules, they have "strong opinions" on where a woman's place is, and that's being a kept woman. Once critical thinking is out the door, it's not hard to come to the "conclusion" that a one-time donation of 100 to 500 bucks to a custom match equals in their minds to a champagne dinner at a fancy restaurant, and if the woman who until then didn't even know they existed naturally draws a line, the "guys" engage in a concerted effort to harass her until "she sees the light".
