"Enraged" is a pejorative word used in situations like when one wants to exaggerate negative reactions to something they support. Done of course for the purpose of demonization of their opposition.
Rather than say "Who woulda thunk there'd be controversy over the color of an actress playing mythical fairies and mermaids?"... the pejorative "enraged" conjures up images of people turning purple with sputtering rage over something also mischaracterized as trivial.
Nobody whose expressing distaste over this is enraged and the issue is not trivial.
Certain groups of people are engaged in a power play in our society, by using guilt and shame tactics to advance their cause and bully the media into toting their water. IOW complaining and crying victim.
Many of us find that kind of disgusting.
And yes, I understand that the other side is pulling similar crap, as bad or worse.
Like much of the shenanigans of the right, I feel this is something that I need to speak out against too.
