What annoys me the most is the double standard. People spend days mocking her. And it works, because she's an easy target, any meme mocking her gets lots of shares nowadays.

But at least here in my country I've seen many examples on Twitter of gay men trying to criticize some artists/influencers for their homophobia... and then you keep seeing threads criticizing the gay men for "cancel culture", for being elitist, etc.

What annoys me the most is the double standard.

Most people's standards are "Whatever/whoever I agree with is okay" so it's really not "double standards" as it is having no standards at all.

Underrated comment. I'm constantly surprised at people's willingness to just accept whatever their friend group /favorite newspaper/political party/religion/whatever tell them without learning about it directly for themselves.

edit: and judging according to their own values. You have to have your own values in order to do that, though.
