At this point the V community is verging on self parody. I can’t think of a more illustrative example of a victim complex.

Unfortunately it’s very hard to convince self-proclaimed victims that they are not in fact victims, because then you become one of the “detractors” or “competitors” looking to “gaslight” and “slander”.

I’ve never seen a language with so much self-inflicted drama around it.

Indeed. Pointing it out to them is difficult. I have experience doing it in other contexts. The jury is still out on whether it's successful or not. :-/
