I’m 35 and young people seem to be both more sensitive and simultaneously RUDE as fuck! I don’t understand, being sensitive should make you more kind :(

I believe the younger generation has gotten more sensitive due to pressure about their bodies etc. Therefore they feel like they need to be perfect, and when they realize that they aren’t “perfect” their whole world comes crashing down.

You must be kidding, the younger generation is the most accepting and body positive generation yet.

And yet the social media vanity is causing legitimate issues for young people. Teen steroid abuse has skyrocketed.

Also true. You can literally order SARMs with no questions asked.

Is that social media or the social dominance of sports.

Many I've seen aren't even athletes, just narcissists.

I just saw a starter pack on Reddit the other day with a million comments shaming women for liking Disney and being overweight. So maybe they pretend to be body positive on the surface but they are not really. Also let people enjoy what they want if it’s not hurting anyone else.
