I'm glad you found the information interesting. As I wrote about in the pronoun article I think that they are responsibility shifting. So rather than taking personal inventory and working on changing their beliefs so they can be happy regardless of what other people think of them, they place that responsibility to make them happy onto other people. That's never going to work because people are fickle and sticky and won't ever all agree to see the world as they do.
I would agree that those sorts of people are major Drama Triangle game players. While giving up their responsibility, they look for allies ("Saviors") and trouble-makers ("persecutors"). In scapegoating someone as a persecutor they dehumanize them so much that they believe they can now take out their aggression onto them, as you were saying.
Those cosmetic surgery graphs are surprising!! Thank you for continuing this type of work.
I've always regarded the pronoun thing and the mask thing as 'mere' bullying. (Currently) socially-acceptable ways to be aggressive.
