They didn’t though. That’s just where the Cathedral put the Overton Window.
A handful of actual extremists who the algos push up propagate this lie that it’s rife. Some things existing is a problem but the order of magnitude of all of it is pushed to a level that isn’t reality, it helps obfuscate shit that we shouldn’t tolerate in a sea of garbage.
If you took the media at face value we’re about to head into a time even worse than Nazi Germany with their own people turning against the country because they want to murder Trans people who are the new Jews.
Those poor 20% of GenZ who naturally identify as LGBTMNOP are at risk from the Nazi takeover. They might be misgendered or worse.
Having girls pumped up on testosterone and boys feminising with oestrogen across such a big section of the population is going to be a lot more real in the world than all the social rhetoric that lead to it.
I don’t think anyone wants to see what this looks like at critical mass.
