It’s a kind of vulgarity they probably don’t encounter anywhere else. Usually internet vulgarity involves screaming slurs of some kind.
Whereas PPB dismisses their argument, or lack thereof, without shitting on anyone but it’s own balls. It doesn’t compare them to a marginalize group, it doesn’t accuse them of being shills, it doesn’t say they’re a bot, it doesn’t accuse them of being any of the stuff the GOP constantly scream.
It’s extremely vulgar, but how should you respond to it? there’s no script for it. It’s not harmful. It’s just vulgar in a way that transgresses lib civility norms. So what do they do about it? Well, the complain, because it’s new and upsetting and they don’t have a ready made response or dismissal.
