You have to understand that I’m coming to these things as a member of the most pessimistic and ironic generation that has ever roamed the earth. When I hear millennials getting hurt by "cyber bullying," or it being a gateway to suicide, it’s difficult for me to process. A little less so for my boyfriend, who happens to be a millennial of that age, but even he somewhat agrees with the sensitivity of Generation Wuss. It’s very difficult for them to take criticism, and because of that a lot of the content produced is kind of shitty. And when someone is criticized for their content, they seem to collapse, or the person criticizing them is called a hater, a contrarian, a troll.

In a way it’s down to the generation that raised them, who cocooned them in praise—four stars for showing up, you know? But eventually everyone has to hit the dark side of life; someone doesn’t like you, someone doesn’t like your work, someone doesn’t love you back… people die. What we have is a generation who are super-confident and super-positive about things, but when the least bit of darkness enters their lives, they’re paralyzed.

You might've missed it, but basically CSheep made a thread honoring people like Roffles who make drive by comments at shit posters.

Btw, this game is amazing (and I've just started) if only because you can go Japanese audio with English subs. Brilliant. Some small Japanese practice AND way better voice acting. OP.

But it all ties into Generation Wuss and its wussy influence on social media to a degree; if you have a snarky opinion about anything, you’re a douche. To me, that’s problematic. It limits discourse. If you just like everything, what are we going to talk about? How great everything is? How often I’ve pushed the Like button on my Facebook page?

I disagree with this sentiment but only because I've been on forums where people are way too nice. Like....scary nice. T__T;

And then there are certain people who like a lot of things...almost everything...and basically have nothing much but generic opinions to talk to you about, which makes for very boring discussion. -.-

Sheep there is no discourse is trashing people lol. Come on man! Don't try and defend it. It was a thread for cheap laughs and mocking individuals on TL. I don't want to see other TL members mocked, just loved, hugged and enjoy the great moments we have together in order to distract us from the shitty moments of real life.

The cult of positivity is the most cancerous thing to happen to the Western world since those Enlightenment dipshits thought human rationality was a thing
