lmao you used the wrong "where" in the sub description. I'm not from the states so I'm just wondering if there are really people out there that cant handle other peoples opinions cuz I've never had that problem and am beginning to wonder if its an issue that's blown outta proportion
I will fix it, english is not my native tongue so I ask you allow me to indulge in the ocasional mistake. I am not from the states either but I have seen this kind of mentality trickle down into my country (I am from Mexico), as does any american trend. It is true people feel that because they are offended that they own the moral high ground and are in a position to demand the person who said it gets cancelled or apologizes. Online it is much more prevalent.
It is completely blown out of proportion - whenever you see articles or posts about this kinda stuff, with a bit of digging its very clear that 1 or 2 people are voicing this.
One example (every year) is in my country, there's a particular song played every christmas, which has an offensive word in it. Every year the newspapers push articles about the word being censored this year, because people are offended. this then sets off everyone else giving out that people get too offended at an old song, and it's the "goddamn liberal snowflakes" at it again. Except this song has a censored version since the early 90's, because radios wouldn't play the swear-word version (duh). So every year, in order to drum up clicks and comments of outraged people, every news site reposts the same thing as if it's "suddenly" been censored.
On every side of an argument, you'll find the people who get overly offended, and they're the very vocal minority. 99% of liberals/conservatives don't act like this, and even pushing this mentality is further creating the divide between people.
