It's cult tactics cynical manipulators in those unmoderated spaces use to indoctrinate young adults and kids to exploit and groom. They target kids who don't have defenses to their tactics yet, either their education didn't yet include how to critically evaluate evidence & propositions or they just weren't mentally ready for that responsibility before engaging with predators. They want to seem edgy and offer truths on topics the kids' parents or teachers may not be willing to engage with to draw them in to appear like they have some knowledge or power to offer other than just hate and anger.
