    I was expecting to read how it was being misused by Andrew Tate et al, but they don’t actually discuss it. The headline does not match the content as far as I’m concerned. (There’s links to more, but geez.)

      I hate how common this form of outrage peddling has become in the so-called news but I guess it sells clicks.
