There are a lot of people who flock to social justice issues not because they give a shit about the issue, but they want to feel like they are morally superior to others for being on the right side of that issue. When somebody melts down at constructive criticism like that, it signals to me that they are the latter category and can be safely ignored. You cant make people grow up on the internet, best you can do is block them so you don't have to hear their tantrum

I fully agree with all this. I mean, it is possible that people like that also care about the issue itself, but the way it manifests for them places the priority on feeling superior and it's pretty awful. But yeah blocking is the only answer...
