I agree that the article linked here misrepresents the original. I think you could make a case for the original taking the old timey, generation-wars perspective of "these gen Z-ers and their entitlement", although they've clearly tried to preempt it in the piece fairly explicitly.
I also agree that misrepresenting the article erodes trust in the outlet, although to what extent Boingboing has an editorial line these days I don't know.
