Dozens of posters on this board have made hundreds of similar jokes over the last 15 years, and no one ever openly reacted negatively to any of them.

You'd probably hear worse than anything he said if you spent more than 15 minutes on 4chan. If anything, I'd argue the problem is more that Twitter has become a repugnant cesspool with multiple lynch mobs constantly looking for a victim to crucify. Outrage culture reaching its inevitable conclusion, where the threshold for witch hunts is going to keep getting lower and lower, and it's not going to matter whether you said something yesterday or 20 years ago, because the Internet never forgets. And thoughtcrime is doubleplusungood. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
