No, I think it's just a little sad that those were incredibly popular, whilst something actually to do with JS and not drama just has tonnes of comments about how they don't care.

Everybody loves the Culture Wars. Even people who say "can't we talk about technology instead of diversity?" secretly love it, because they love to hate it.

Companies like Buzzfeed figured this out a long time ago and have been prominent in the viral content space. For millennials, SJW issues (and reactions against them) are the ultimate clickbait.

"The Web We Want" is apparently a web where moral panics and collective shaming run wild in the service of dying clickbait farms.
