"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 (irritatingly) not quite dead yet but that whole, "Girls: Something boring and basic, Boys: Something epic and quirky" template is legit one of the most annoying memes out there, just literal toddler brained shit. Obviously some subversions of it can be funny though.

      These fucking annoy me so much, I don't understand how they can appeal to anyone over the age of 12. That "girls with a time machine vs boys with a time machine" shit is so stupid, where the boy goes back to some based history man.
