I like justice porn as much as anybody else, but I wonder if some of these outlets become more about venting one's misogyny, more than about pointing out wrongdoing?

Lots of people out there who ascribe their grievances to a group of "others", be that immigrants, ethnicities, genders etc. I can see those channels turning into a confirmation bias echo chamber pretty quick.

IMO, it is just misogyny. They don't target the equivalent esports and gaming personalities (mostly male) who do the same thing, and it's couched in the language of "thots" instead of, you know, something thats not a derogatory term for women. Plus, I find it really hard to believe that most of these people actually care about fair taxation -- are they also informing the IRS about the kid on their block making money mowing lawns, or their server friends not reporting their cash tips? Give me a break.

It's literally just misogyny. It has absolutely nothing to do with taxes and everything to do with putting women in their place.

I mean, the fourth most upvoted post on there celebrates the indiscriminate death of thousands of women. Absolutely disgusting. It's just a group of men celebrating the fact that they hate all women simply for existing.
