It’s almost like “outrage culture” or “hipster social justice”, people constantly trying to one-up each other over whatever unique/obscure social wrongs they can find or just trying to twist people’s words around to make them seem insensitive or intolerant. Even the terminology can’t even be agreed upon sometimes because it’s constantly being updated, it’s like trending hashtags almost.

It’s fine to care about something and try to bring awareness to these causes that people might not ever know about, but you don’t have to beat people up about just not knowing something. You can educate without insulting. I particularly notice it within certain communities and one community is particularly militant to the point of attacking neutral bystanders or people that might otherwise support their cause.
