Comment on Things the media does to manufacture outrage

Comments

From the article:

"Is the world more easily “outraged” than it used to be? I don’t think so, but then again, there’s no real way to tell."

Presumably one could go build google N-gram timeseries plots for various n-grams associated with what the article calls "outrage culture" and then look for big bumps in the curve.

I'm not close enough to the phenomenon to guess the correct buzzwords. Maybe "problematic" or "offensive"?
