I'm always dubious about posts like the screenshot. I always wonder if the poster, AskAubrey in this case, has fallen for a troll or a prank, or if they're the troll or prankster themselves.

A microblog post saying "[the people I don't like] are doing [embarrassing/contemptible thing]" whose proof is a picture of a single person doing something could never be wrong, misleading, or overgeneralizing, though, right? Just like "the LGBTQ+ are trying to make MAP a thing!!1" was totally real and legit.

It's scary how willing people are to accept random shit they see on the Internet with zero further investigation or critical thought.

Exactly. And even if there was one case of the thing happening, it wouldn't necessarily mean a damned thing.
