Is today's society easily triggered and hypersensitive?
You can't say or post something in the internet now which doesn't get an offensive reply such as:
This offends me as a vegan transgender atheist who vapes and crossfits 4 times a week and im also a male feminist as I identify myself as a asexual and if you dont agree with me You're an ignorant arrogant globaphobic homophobic bigot sexist lesbian.
Yep! The fact that nursery songs are getting banned for using the word "black"
The fact that a doctor telling you you're an unhealthy weight is deemed as offensive and rude :LLL
The fact that if there is a film with less poc than white people it's ww3
Yes, we live in the age where society is hypersensitive.
Conversely, if you're not a moronic, racist, sexist, bigot, you really have nothing to worry about.
I don't think so...I think people have always been triggered, in some way. For example, responding to someone who says "Hey!" can be triggering. It can trigger a response, be it a "Hi!" or recognition (any). I think now we hear more about "triggers" because more people are coming out and becoming (hyper)visible about anxiety, gender, and other things like these. People have always had disabilities...People have always had genders...I think we live in a time (whatever "we" and "time" mean here) where openness and flexibility is on the horizon. Of course I am speaking from my Western perspective, so my position is Eurocentric. My point: due to media relations, increasingly, people are speaking and are being made spoken to each other, through transnational channels. I think the world (broadly speaking) has always been like this...There's always been a kind of globalisation. Now (I think) it's a bit more visible because people are making noise about it. The answer isn't black or white...I think it's in the middle: both media/internationality and other things (e.g. things that I didn't mention here -- slavery, for example).
Yes!
You only see so much PC crap these days because of the rise of social media. The type of person to go and complain about inane and imaginary issues like 'there are more than two genders' most likely has no real social life and/or any friends in the real world. Therefore, they are lonely and sad and go complain on twitter! It's simple quite simple when you think about it
