I was born in the wrong era, I wish I was born pre 1970’s. Honestly, some people are desperate to appear offended by something new all the time.
I'm no feminist, but things weren't as good for women or minorities back then, though in some respects it was a much better time socially--you didn't have to edit everything you said like there's pressure to do today, nor was there that culture of victimhood that's so prevalent in 2021 (and has been since around 2015-16). I'm all for women's rights and fairness for all, but that's not what identity politics is all about, unfortunately.
Anyway, you're right to suggest that OP (and many others) need to grow a thick shell around them if they're going to be a member of bitcointalk. Getting offended is the price you have to be willing to pay for the freedom to speak your mind. If there were rules against racism, sexism, or "offensive" posts, this forum would absolutely suck. One of the reasons I joined it is because there weren't any of those rules, and there
were on many other forums I'd been a member of.
I am so sick of the faux offended do-gooders who seem to be everywhere at the moment.
Oddly enough, most of them seem to exist only on the internet. In real life, I don't interact with many of them--but in real life, I don't try to offend people and tend to be respectful anyway. The snowflake thing has been going on for years now, too. I'm wondering when the pendulum is going to start swinging the other way. I'd say it's about time, no?
