The term is fine in my opinion, its just been misappropriated to the point of being annoying like "gaslighting" or "parasocial"."Punching down" is one of the gayest fucking terms the internet has ever spawned.
It's inherently more satisfying to watch someone with some level of status get taken down a peg rather than some dipshit nobody. What's annoying about the usage of the term to me is people moralizing it, as if calling someone a retard is somehow less mean if they have more youtube subs than you.
