Saying "this image is used by white supremacists" seems to be a far cry from actively suing people for being insulted, but I guess false equivalences are par for the course.

Ah, so she was rallying against something that had been deliberately co-opted by the alt-right? And that's equivalent to being insulted on twitter how?

Because it's an example of hypersensitivity to get that worked up over a frog.

But she didn't sue anyone. She said "that's bad", exercising her free speech.

This guy, however, tried to sue twitter because people online were mean to him, and he belongs to the party that is always complaining about hugboxes and snowflakes and safe spaces. It doesn't get more hypersensitive than trying to silence insults with the full force of the law, does it?
