"R U TRIGGERED" and all its subvariants were radioactive toxic waste and turned a valid and important psychological concept into bullying vector that for a time had nearly universal acceptance.

I still see vestiges of "le epic bacon" out there but it's mostly confined to aging :grillman: types and some :up-yours-woke-moralists: cultists and a few contrarian carninist edgelords that want to "trigger the vegans." Yes I know all of the above have a lot of overlap.

    It's just a later version of that old webcomic "irrational emotional fool vs smug logical cool guy that raises an eyebrow and looks at the reader" template.

        Did that many propaganda posters for 20th century nazis include Viking LARPer beards to go with the Hitler Youth fades?
