Yes. Which, I can understand that to some degree, because many antis are quite young and young people ARE usually worse at managing emotions, and also keep being bombarded with the message that they are fragile and helpless and can't take care of themselves.
On the other hand I feel like... sometimes they WANT to think of themselves as powerless? Because it makes the bullying they inflict on others somehow all right, in their eyes. They're weaponizing their own and others' vulnerability in order to paint anyone who disagrees with them as an abuser and oppressor.
