"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.
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."
