I think it's because society, as a whole, has taken a more mindful approach as to making sure everyone gets their fair share. There are a lot of stereotypes that can form a harmful mindset when perpetuated - but at the same time, there are times where it's taken too far.

I think context is very important at the end of the day, and I think maybe you have to think before you do something. However, I think the culture of tearing people to shreds for their ignorance is not helping anyone - at the end of the day, would you shame a student for not knowing the right answer or would you try to explain why their answer is wrong? Some people just don't wanna listen, and that's a shame but I think you have to really consider people don't usually set out with bad intentions.

Like I'm not gonna lie, I'm a big SJW - but you can't expect perfection from people and hunting people down. That doesn't do anything but hurt people in the long run, and that doesn't make you any better.

Originally posted by Toya I feel like you've posted that pic in a thread before. I definitely remember seeing it.

There is nothing wrong with people getting offended about stuff like blackface, rape jokes, transphobia, homophobia, racism, etc. but I feel like Tumblr and the SJWs have influenced the youth of today into finding stuff like that veteran costume and incidents like Kylie Jenner wearing cornrows offensive. Blame them.

Originally posted by highwayuni This is kind of a similar topic but I was watching The Simpsons earlier today and a LOT of the earlier episodes would have been murdered by todays social media

Originally posted by Toya Lol omg yes. I watch a lot of 90s shows and sooo much of the stuff on there would not fly today. Like I was watching King Of Queens yesterday and I could just imagine some of the Tumblr essays over some of the jokes on there lol.
