Related (or maybe off-topic)...  I think this is one of the behavioral
attributes of Gen-Z and above.  The behavioral psychologists tell us
that kids raised on smartphones and social media can lack problem
resolution skills and they are hypersensitive to criticism.[1,2,3,4]
To them, nearly everyone who disagrees with them is an attack.  (Big
Tech acknowledges the problems, but disputes the cause).
