The brackets thing is a real and well-known dogwhistle. If I say that the (((city council))) is putting chemicals in the water, then you should know I’m touting an anti-semetic conspiracy theory.
In this case, using «Guillemets» isn’t that, but the thing that they confused it for is real.
Saying something malicious while making it look normal is kinda the whole point of dog whistles. How are we to tell if <<this>> is benign, or just (((this))) with an extra layer of obfuscation?
Different languages have different quotation marks. Using one’s own native language quotation marks is pretty innocuous, but going out of the way to make specific formatting not used in any other language (both human languages and programming/markup languages) is what separates the two.

No clue why you are getting downvotes, you are just objectively right
