Why are people nowadays such snowflakes?

I’d rather let children watch true crime documentaries than deal with this shit.

Also in my fantasy universe (Flesh Armored Vanguards), I’ll probably say shit that’d be considered politically incorrect IRL because the people in that world wouldn’t have the same values as us IRL.

yeah, as expected, you have a fantasy universe

One of my favorite things in creating fantasy stuff is recreating attrocities of real world, yet maintain a moral neutrality.
Don’t get me wrong, I do find having a set good and evil side is great, but I think the same goes for having the readers develop their own opinions.

They’re not. Corporations are just dumber than bricks lectured on flat Earth theories. Almost every service backed by a major firm in the modern day is only getting worse. Look at most ad-ridden streaming services, look at what they tried to push for Helldivers II, look at flipping Roblox as a whole.

People aren’t the problem—not really. It’s just that most corporations let ignorant, unknowedgable shareholders make bad decisions for them.

I despise it when they cover logos with pride flags or paint every actor black in a show
Not because I’m racist or anti-lgbtq, as a matter of fact, I support lgbtq people and I have no reasons to hate other races
But it is because the companies really don’t give a shit about any of those people. They only see them as easy cashgrabs. I do support well-made and interesting lgbtq characters, such as Emporio Ivankov, Bon Clay, Yamato etc. from One Piece, and I kinda like the fact live action is making the princess of desert kingdom Alabasta actually black.
But because of forced inclusion, not only do these people who were discriminated for a long time become cashgrabs for greedy executives, but some people actually start hating on those people because of clear bias
And if people call them out on their bullshit, they become sexists, homophobes, racists etc.

Ehhhh, I beg to differ.
While this topic in particular refers explicitly to the deeds of corporation, we can see a trend in younger individuals being more and more prone to escapism and defensive aggression.
Of course, this varies from demographic to demographic and can be caused by a multitude of differing factors such as: laws, culture, education, environment, et cetera, but I like to believe that the third is one of the greater contributing factor, sometimes catalysed by the first and second.
I would provide an example of this, but I believe that would end up being too political for the forums and earn me a warn.

In the end though, all of these corporate reactions were made to capitalise off of the everchanging sands of time, some of which don’t make any profit.

This exactly. Every media production made with false “representation” like this just pushes actual acceptance back farther and farther.

God i hate forced inclusion so fucking much.
Don’t get me wrong, inclusion is important- but if its done simply for audience appeal (cough cough disney) its… just so ass and thats coming from someone that should be their supposed demographic.
They can genuennly just fuck off

First Archenhailor comment in history to not have a poll in it

Yeah it’s never the people being “represented” by forced inclusion that actually like it happening. What it does is make other people think “oh yeah they are being inclusive, therefore they must be doing the right thing”
That and it also will reinforce certain stereotypes which, even if they are positive ones, are not going to actually help anyone.

well for the reddit question, it’s because of advertisers, not the creators

did somebody mention peak?

so tired of seeing the 734th fictional gay couple with generic straight gender roles (a man and a “woman”) with no actual importance to the story

or just any stereotype about anyone at all

if youre not gonna make them anymore than just PR points then dont make them at all

It’s good to finally see some sensible conservatives on here.

I’m just going to say my thoughts. I think that people are such snowflakes everyday because LITERALLY EVERYTHING OFFENDS THEM.

And I’m blaming the leftist progressivists, who clearly take offensive at every little thing.

Oh and Woke Culture. That too.

do you want a head pat archenhailor to calm yourself down not being able to curse 120 times in comment section?

Weird, I can cuss all the time I didn’t know there were censors.

Tbh, i can’t really take people that use the term “snowflake” seriously because for one its like… such old slang and for one the people that use it then complain that others have the basic level of empathy.

Not in this case tho, false representation is bs lel

I’m not sure the people here are really that conservative.
This stuff is more like shitting on greedy corporations who sold their morals to satan just to get a quick buck. That’s at least my personal point.
Again, I have nothing against people of other races, lgbtq people etc. but the companies are nowadays crossing the border to the other extreme.
It basically comes down to being prosecuted for not being a lesbian black trans woman, or being one, due to such bullshit.

You kind of got my point.

Woke and Cancel Culture has become so prevalent that anyone that disagrees with it (corporations and individuals alike) will be cancelled and cast into silence.
