Obviously, gossip spreading in public is overstated. There are two reasons. First, exaggerated rumors tend to spread faster. This is because people tend to concentrate on more unconfirmed and exaggerated gossip. People tend to love dramatic stories with a lot of twists and turns. Accordingly, many people tend to exaggerate stories in public, especially on social media to gain more attention and more likes. Secondly, there is a group dynamics. In both online and offline communities, gossip can create division and social exclusion, making the original issue a “us vs. them” problem. Many people tend to participate in gossip to sense group protection. By exaggerating the gossip, these groups can feel more solidarity by dehumanizing and demonizing the opposite. For example, Korea is deeply divided in LGBTQ rights. The population opposing these rights often brings up with unproven and overstated health issues that these people could have
