Why is this still so normalized?

• Is it anonymity that makes people feel untouchable?

• Is it the algorithm rewarding shock value?

• Is it because we’re becoming desensitized to it?

• Or because platforms profit from controversy and outrage?

Also: why do so few people call it out when it happens?

Are we scared? Exhausted? Or just used to it?

Yes, all of the above.
