I like the point the author makes about the incredible intolerance there is against different points of view online, usually from both sides of the spectrum.

For example, it's impossible to talk about women's rights without having people take extreme sides are reject any form of intelligent communication.

Unfortunately this has been leaking more and more towards real life. People in large part repeat slogans and take predefined stances instead of using their own heads.

This case is no different: the world is not divided in good, left leaning, progressive people and bad, right leaning, conservative people.

A more realistic spectrum is bigots, people who think religiously about things and don't accept uncertainty to people that embrace reasonable change and diversity of opinion. People that accept that art expresses emotions and people that don't accept art that does not conform to their philosophy (remember the Talibans defacing the Buddhas in Afghanistan?)
