General sneer: it's shocking and indeed completely surprising and unexpected that pretty much every media personality, poster, and public intellectual whose shtick is "I'm really very liberal but maybe woke excess has gone too far" eventually ends up pulling out the ol' skull calipers.

"By far the stupidest idea that "rationalists" have bought into is that anything said with emotion or the tiniest insults is automatically weakened or inferior and the most vile ideas said in a calm voice are totally legitimate. They're like dogs, hearing tone but not content." (https://twitter.com/itsbirdemic/status/1021057021150482432)
