That was my immediate thought as well. The internet really creates the illusion that these debates are more salient than they actually are to most people. In reality people, even college people, are overwhelmingly dis-involved in internet culture wars. I've been in debates with people on Reddit about this since I'm a graduate student in Anthropology. Pretty flaky flower-power for these STEMlords (that's a whole other post, though). In my cohort's advanced theory course I was the one who explained what micro-aggressions and trigger warnings were (in a very neutral way). You'd think graduate level anthropology would be all over that Esjay-jay, right? Yes, but not in any way KiA types would recognize. Their understanding of social justice is very distorted compared to what most people in RL mean when they say that. And everyone else just doesn't care one way or the other, but will still probably hold the baseline 'don't be an asshole, or a _____ist' personality that is characteristic of most college kids. It's actually kind of amazing there were two people in the class that both know who AS is in the first place. For instance, I had to tell my graduate level 'Race and Justice' class (so basically, just the sort of advanced SJW-cum-'fake science' these guys love to hate) what the Red Pill was. It came up because the professor showed us some images of the posters RP littered Michigan's campus with. Anyway, all this rambling is to say that outside of the vaccuum chambers of the internet most people (even the people most likely have strong stakes in the debate) don't know, and don't care. But, nobody likes an asshole.
