You missed the point. It is knee-jerk in the sense that a panic is had whenever certain kinds of words or phrases are uttered on social media. It is like people really believe the content in question is some sort of real-life spell that could cause someone actual harm or someone else to cause physical harm. Words are just words.

Actions and words are two very different things and we shouldn't lose sight of that lest we be stripped of our right to speak our mind.

Unbunch you undies and stop trying to control everyone you don't agree with.
