I’d rather the stupid people get some leniency so that we don’t have to walk on eggshells all the time instead of getting outraged at everybody.
In my opinion, people who would call others “snowflakes” (not saying that you did) are themselves even more sensitive than those they accuse. They should pull the log out of their own eye first, so to speak.
Certainly, learning to not immediately assume offense was intended is a useful skill. But when people call others out for it, it just sounds to me like they’re upset that they can’t say whatever-they-damn-well-please and get away with it. Well, I don’t think they should be able to say whatever-they-damn-well-please because, to quote Billy Madison, “everyone is now dumber for having listened to it.”
In sum, learning to be polite and civil is a good goal. Both being over-sensitive and complaining about over-sensitivity doesn’t help at all. It’s just a way to try to shut opposing view down.
It also doesn’t help that social media exists purely to broadcast stupidity to the world
I can not argue with that.
