This begins in our youth. Participation trophies and catering to the emotions of children robs them of the coping mechanisms needed to overcome adversity and grief. It is no wonder we have such a suicide and mass shooting issue in recent generations.



Socially, the bar of offense will never be static. Something will always need to be changed and the outrage will be directed and manipulated politically, as it is, and the fabric of society will not be strengthened by outrage culture, which is never going to be quelled by catering to it. This is currently dividing our world into factions and entrenching views, and strengthening opposition to just views in ways organically unfathomable. All of this is one big manipulative shitshow preying on the emotionally weak and reactionary mobs who stand on internet soapboxes and stir up outrage to exalt themselves among their peers. This culture is a snake eating its own tail.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying “hey dont call that guy a bitch because of the way he is dressed”. There is something definitely wrong with calling him a bitch because of the way he is dressed.

We are constantly trying to better ourselves and ourselves as a society. Remember when women couldn’t vote and black people had to use separate bathrooms, etc etc etc etc. Should we have just left things alone? Of course you will always have extremists that are offended by stupid shit. That is not what is going on now.

Internet soapboxes? Last time I checked people were actively protesting in the streets. But nothing is good enough for you guys. Those people are now mobs and criminals because of a few bad apples. And their criminal activity is somehow far and above any other criminal activity that has been going on since the dawn of man. I bet there was a very similar sentiment to yours during the civil rights movement of the 60’s.

Honestly it isn’t that hard to not be a dick, if nobody was a dick we wouldn’t have to worry about the “bar of offense”. I just really do not understand where all your frustrations and anger is coming from. How has your life changed other than the name of ur football team? Why such ire and resentment towards people who are not happy? Why don’t you try to understand what makes them unhappy instead of just calling them sensitive sallys and assuming they are full of shit with some ulterior motive?

But the fundamental difference here is how you referenced the emotionally weak victims for the suicides and mass shooting numbers ( the latter of which id attribute to hate crimes carried out by racist fucktards) and I blame the bullys.
As if the victims are committing suicide for attention and they should just be stronger people. How about the bullys who torment them just stfu?
What if amongst us there was a crossdresser/gay person and they were offended by that meme and everyone chiming in to say what a bitch. They were so offended and it was the straw that broke their back and they ended their life? You can say extreme example but im making a point plus it happens every day more than once. Would you not think differently about a hateful meme? I know u all hate the signs that say “hate has no place here” because hate is so much fun, but it really doesn’t. Again its just not that hard not to be a dick.
