"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.

    Yes but it’s not entirely centered around having your hand on your cock and envisioning yourself as a supreme logical being for not believing in god and hating Muslims. Sure it’s has been distilled into other areas, but it is nowhere near as concentrated as it ever was in the early days of Reddit

      In those moments, :reddit-logo: was euphoric, enlightened by its own intelligence.

      I still see residue of that euphoria today, even on Hexbear, especially when someone plays the "logic" card on their opinion and calls someone they disagree with "emotional."
