The outrage couldn't have been more over-the-top. "I don't care if you landed a spacecraft on a comet, your shirt is sexist and ostracizing," read a real headline that humans with no sense of reality actually wrote and published. Shrill outrage site Jezebel claimed that Atlantic reporter Rose Eveleth, who started the “#shirtstorm," had been subject to death threats. Their headline "Woman Gets Death Threats for Tweeting About Disliking A Dude's Shirt" led to a story of a few people being mean to her and saying stuff like "jump off a cliff." As one Jezebel commenter noted, "they're death threats in the same way that saying ‘go f-yourself, is a r--- threat." Trigger warning: A review of Eveleth's outrage-tweets over a shirt someone wore might make you embarrassed to be human.
