dipping my toes in more broadly that the information war online has been won and dictated by bad actors on the (far) right, incels, etc. For example my cousin's kids use terms like Chad all the time, which first started in incel circles that moved into wider internet Gen Z speak. Now, I don't think those kids are high school incels (I think) but I think being aware of how the 'manosphere' leaks out into other discourse is of value. That's how these things get mainstreamed.
This is why I cringe whenever I heard stuff bts about creatives of properties they don't like. Most rumors are just started by bigots.
like, I don't really dig modern star wars, but I don't think Favreau and Kennedy are 'at war' if that was the case she'd just fire him like the others!
