You are reacting to masses but attributing caricature as if the masses were individuals. You're being played by the game. On any story there's X% of people who are fuming over it, but its not the same people. You're reacting to the system but treating broad categories as persons. By default, you're strawmanning, and there's power to that, but until you grow out of that mindset, you are ruled by the strawmen you create for yourself, or rather, who our cultural engineers create for you.
