Sorry to disagree, but this is not really happening and I think it's one of the reasons for the current madness. People who are outraged first claim some type of victim status, and this is enough to force other people to support them. And anybody who might disagree is silenced by moral blackmail- how dare you voice an opinion against somebody who is a victim?
There are at least a couple of things that seem lost to public ethics:
1) the victim of some injustice is not on the right side of any possible dispute, nor is he/she free from the normal obligations of civility towards anybody, including the perpertrators.
2) the magnitude of some perceived injustice should be measured by some objective standards, not by how much someone is "crying, shaking".
Then people are outraged that people are outraged about X.
Sooner or later people won't remember what they are outraged about but they will still be outraged.
That's the power of "fake news"; it doesn't matter what X is at all.
