      It’s a little silly to look at a whole nearly 10 years and not recognize culture has changed significantly, but here’s an example considering the other reply failed to produce one:

      Merely 1 year before, the internet was roiled by absolute massive drama that was basically masterminded by proto-incels upset that women were in the video game industry. They were extremely successful in framing a jilted ex’s story as somehow a question of ethics. It was not only impressive how seriously they were taken, but some aspects were just unquestioned as just “how the internet was” like making depictions of these public figures being beaten to a bloody pulp, when nowadays the kids have been having to make euphemisms for implying someone dying in any way to get around censors. It even spilled over into 2015, which is why I can even use it as an example for that year.

      In comparison, Gamergate 2 happened a few weeks ago. Its likely not many people here will even realize that even happened, and those that do recognize it was a whimpering yelp at best compared to the OG.

      Many aspects of our society and culture including the fact that in the early teens random jokes at vegan’s expense were seen as normal rather than a fuck move

              No, here to tell you to go vegan. Your gluttony doesn’t justify what’s done to so many animals.

                And you wonder why jokes come at your expense.

                  You should be wondering why your cholesterol is so high.
