Yeah. someone made a similar remark over on DW, so I'm copy posting some of my reply from there, but: but what this is all leading to is, many Boomers look for visual cues and follow visual shorthand, focusing on how things make them feel rather than judging the actual actions of a person, or consequences of those actions. To be fair, this need for visual shorthand may have started back when acts of evil couldn't be explicitly shown "onscreen," in popular media, because of things like censors and the MPAA and the comics code and whatnot. So when you consider the fact that a lot of those "visual cues" of "evil" began as bigoted racially-coded symbols back in the day...
