But it's cool to be offended these days. Nobody's got time for opposing opinions wrong opinions hate speech, least of all on the internet - other people might read those opinions!

This video might help anyone interested in joining the cool kids club:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-mju_gW3c8

Because if you're not cool, you probably need to be shouted down or deplatformed entirely.

That's a pretty cool video, thanks.

That´s the dynamic of the new society: everything is racist, everything is extremist, everything offends someone, etc. It´s just that the internet is a part of that "universe"

People are oversensitive today. People don´t want to be confronted. People don´t want to live with other people who think differently, who have different opinions. And that sucks

Maybe the problems did exist back then, but as time goes on we become more nostalgic and think less of the negatives at the time.

As someone who was online since the nineties, I can safely say the internet has become more snobbish, entitled and easily offended or alternatively, incredibly obscene and profane with time. However, this is really noticeable around six years ago... No idea why.

Maybe it's confirmation bias.

This thread in itself is pretentious. Why don't you calm your ass down?

In all honesty, I never quite fully understood how Nintendo managed to create a franchise out of Kirby prior to mobile platforms. That's where Kirby and Yoshi really belong. It's appropriate for its mindless fun; very fitting.

NOOO, don´t try to trigger me into triggering from your triggerization attempt.

Deep breaths...10....9...8...7...6 NOOOO! Its not mindless fun, they are fun not mindless fun! Kirby is the best! You are nut!

huh I guess I failed :/

Kirby your thread lead to that post and now I got triggered. Its the first time ever. I am usually so cool and emotionless. What have you done Kirby, what have you done...

Others try to keep calm and trigger only about someone triggering from triggering or feel offended only about someone feeling offended from another feeling offended.

I don't see the issue with trigger warnings myself, it's not like they're mandatory and if people want to warn their audience in advance I think that's fine.

No, I did notice a lot of users who used to be amicable and friendly in sites like Deviantart left shortly after Google Chrome started to rise in popularity and heavily customizable engines like Presto went out of vogue. Pages started to update their looks every once in a while, rather than every two or three years and sites like del.icio.us, MySpace, dA itself and smaller, standard cult forums and fan communities started to shut down en masse. I noticed an exodus to social media and people talking more with those outside of "tightly knit" circles like they used to before. 

I am thinking it was the "publicization" of the internet after smartphones and social media became popular that led to the death of "respectful differences". Agree to disagree used to be commonplace pre '12. It started to become more common to assert that the other person was objectively wrong and his or her opinion had to change in order to enter a community. "GTFO" and "get out" were rare back then. Git gud was also less common.
