Mkay I'm not going to use "What they would have done if xyz" as evidence of anything, since we're talking about what actually happened. I don't see anything that blames the user or says anything negative. They were duped by a phishing app. It happens all the time to everyone.
It's not blaming anyone. I think you're being a bit sensitive.
If you're that insulted by something so minor I think you need to toughen up a bit.
Lol, “evidence”. You asked how they should have phrased it and you gave a ridiculous example, and I was just answering your question with something more realistic that matches the tone of hundreds of leftist articles that we could all relate to.
Honestly I was just jokingly pointing out that the article was exactly as I expected it to be.
After years of being slandered by the media in all forms, working alongside people every day who form their hostile opinion of me from all of these negative cues (subtle and otherwise) in the media that they see all day, every day - I can assure you, this article is the least of the things insulting me right now. I just find it funny how consistently these things are written and how well I can predict them.
If you don’t see how this same tone would come across mockingly if written about something you identified with, then I’m glad. You’ve probably never met the consequences of people who hate you based on constant barrages of this kind of stuff, but I’m happy for you.
If this is your idea of fighting misinformation - telling people how they should feel after reading something - and this makes you feel like you’re fighting the good fight, then you do you.
But honestly it sounds like you’re just mad that we know the game. 😆

You honestly weren't. Instead, you gave a "what if" scenario.
It didn't seem as much as you expected it to me, based on what you wrote. It's not like they're insulting people and calling them idiots for getting scammed. People get scammed all the time, and articles are written about it the same way. The scam affects people who were duped by it. That's all there is to it.
I'm not affronted at your suggestion, I just disagree.
