I cannot stress enough that organised media manipulators, harassers, & white supremacist orgs use flamebait, debate, flame wars, drama, arguments, outrage & tabloid gossip as part of their strategy.
Amplifying them and assembling an audience for them is exactly what they want. They will pivot on that to multiply harms - at the low end of the harm scale, they’ll goat se the audience. At the high end: hundreds of people see revenge porn of a secondary target. Or worse.
Squelch them, every time.
