Same numbers, different framing. Switching lens never changes a computed value.

No licensed social corpus is connected, so stance (adopt / debate / mock / reject) is not published. Any reading of backlash here is inferred from news tone alone and should be treated as weaker evidence.

Labelled interpretation, not measurement.
