It works like this: Controversial Event X occurs, resulting in {{flame war}}s, including ones spanning multiple %%forums. Internet vigilantes occur who muck up the issue even more into a morass of rumors. Eventually it gets to %%the point where people are so sick of flame wars about Event X, that this in turn causes flame wars conducted by %%those who want it to just die. Which it eventually does, sort of, in a smoldering-ember sort of way. Then some %%[[{{Noob}} n00b]] gives it enough oxygen to make it flare up all over again.

The poor, innocent, hapless newbie has opened the door, causing an InternetBackdraft.

TheCynic has opened the door, causing an InternetBackdraft.

Here's how it would go: StrawNihilist declares that HumansAreBastards, [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Are The Real Monsters]], and are the [[HumansKillWantonly only species to kill each other just because they can.]] This results in multiple {{flame war}}s, spreading between [[IdealismTropes Idealists]], [[CynicismTropes Cynicals]]/[[StrawNihilist Straw Nihilists]] and [[TakeAThirdOption Realists]] spanning multiple forums, including Wiki/ThisVeryWiki (The topic on this was even ''banned''). Internet {{Troll}}s spread the flames even further, causing the SilentMajority to [[{{Irony}} join the]] FlameWar. Eventually, Flame Wars will start by those who are sick of the conflict, until people realize how [[HopelessWar pointless the]] ForeverWar is. Until a {{Noob}}, a {{Troll}} or an another StrawNihilist starts it all over again.

Poor, innocent, hapless newbie wanders into a forum and wonders aloud if that guy in that show should be with that girl in that show. The forum erupts into flames, igniting all the boards that deal with the show, which ignites whole sections of the Internet into a [[FlameWar blazing Inferno]]. Or alternatively, a StrawNihilist declares that HumansAreBastards (which causes the same result, but with [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism Nihilists vs Idealists]]) In this case, [[MedalOfDishonor we will talk about the latter.]]

* HeManWomanHater (An obvious target, especially after an actress of ''Film/TheLastJedi'' was DrivenToSuicide by this demographic.)

* BuryYourGays (Due to certain events involving the deaths of several gay people, this [[ValuesDissonance inevitably]] became this.)

''Falls under "Overly Controversial Soapboxes" below, but constitutes a category of it's own as well. No examples on these at all, please.''

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters (Not only that there isn't another race to compare humans to, but this trope is begging to be FlameBait, from the fact that it always pits [[FanDumb Idea]][[SillyRabbitsCynicismIsForLosers lists]] against [[HateDumb Nih]][[StrawNihilist ili]][[SillyRabbitsIdealismIsForKids sts]].)

Here's how it would go: StrawNihilist declares that HumansAreBastards, [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Are The Real Monsters]], and are the [[HumansKillWantonly only species to kill each other just because they can.]] This results in multiple {{flame war}}s, spreading between [[IdealismTropes Idealists]], [[CynicismTropes Cynicals]]/[[StrawNihilist Straw Nihilists and [[TakeAThirdOption Realists]] spanning multiple forums, including Wiki/ThisVeryWiki (The topic on this was even ''banned'').
