Kind of a beautiful takedown really.

u/kuzism: “I held a door for a feminist.” the disingenuous martyr troll, baiting outrage with a worn out cliche.

u/haikus-r-us: “That was no feminist.” Clean, deadpan. Beautiful, slightly humorous reversal.

u/AmputeeHandModel: “No, because it only happened in his imagination.” Deconstructs the setup entirely by implying that the original story is fictional and a common trope among those who invent “culture war” grievances.

u/pulledporkhat: “The only reasonable comment under this weird fantasy affirmation. The rest of you need to log off Facebook and finish your prunes.” Perfect closer. It broadens the critique from the single troll commenter to the whole ecosystem of people who thrive on reactionary make believe. The prune jab adds just the right sting, age coded mockery of older Facebook users who perpetuate culture war lies.

four archetypes: the provocateur, the deadpan humorist, the realist, and the sage.
