When people resort to hyperbole and expect people to take it seriously it is difficult to remain polite and not just call it bullshit. It is so frequent in internet discussion that it seems like it has become the norm. When coupled with mindreading (assumption of motivation) it is amplified. Pepe may have a point. Many, if not most of the 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 are examples of first world pampered and privileged people who have never experienced emotional discomfort beyond things that should have a micro prefix. But as Steve points out, are they really so fragile that they are traumatized by things considered trivial in most of the world? Probably not, they are trying to collect undeserved sympathy as empathy. Teakettle tempests Karen and Ken may richly deserve the blowback that "traumatizes" them but the people they claim to represent may not.
