I hate this trend of saying "SLAMMED", or "HOUNDED", or "ATTACKED" etc in news articles where the stories are just "a couple of people with a dozen followers between them posted slightly negative tweets about topic xyz".

My parents were bitching about how Adele was "HAMMERED" online because she said "I am proud to be a woman" or something. Turns out it was just two complete nobodies tweeting about how that's trans exclusionary or something with 1 heart each.
