Hey Pandas, What Is The Worst Trend? (Closed)

Sexism in general, misandry gets it's fair share too online. Not to make it about whataboutism, but generally less of the "they vs us" mentality would be better overall

Censorship of common words that have many meanings is the worst part.

Worst than the plague. There should be a vaccine for it

It completely turns me off to reading an article when an AI photo is used in place of photos that actually exist.

When you have a mental deficient as your leader, about half the population is racing to stupidity because it's lazy and simple... like them.

Go-Fund Me started with great intensions but unfortunately like too many things gets taken over by greedy people and con-artists. Now any personal fundraiser is I see I just look away.

Sadly, I think there's a sufficiently large number of people who *would* do it that the later ones would have a soft landing. After all, 6th of January....

It's frustration within the medical field. I deal with several long-term health issues and hear horror stories from others. When you are suffering and an incurious doctor treats you like a billable hour, you lose faith... add to that using internet blurbs as "research" and you have a disastrous recipe of distrust and just enough information to be ignorantly dangerous.

There are a lot of local groups you can get into where discussion is welcome. They can be hard to find.

Especially workplace supervisors.

Political OVERcorrectness - It became something parties and politicians used to gain power by calling the opposition racist, misogynist etc. and claim to be the most humane choice. Becomes a problem if serious crimes aren't prevented / punished out of fear to be seen as "racist" by their own people. (Huge reason why the Right gains popularity here in Europe btw)

You could have stopped after TikTok.

I've lived/worked in indigenous communities and enjoyed my time there. Trust me they are not free of it. Also, many indigenous groups are where they are because they moved in and absorbed/forced out/ killed off whoever was there before them. It is a 'human' thing.

This is only a trend the USA has implemented because due process has gone out the window over there. But this mindset of villifying people isn't limited to high-profile people. There's people all over social media accusing each other of very serious crimes, that may come with very real, serious consequences, that may be unjustly, over blind accusations of racism and violence and p********a, just because people don't actually read into sarcasm, or understand the context of a comment, or just nitpick at certain words without reading the whole comment. I get not everyone is great at language/literature comprehension, but it should be acceptable to ask a question for clarification, and without snarky insults. Not enough people are kind and understanding these days.

Post deleted - t'was actually supposed to be relating to the next post down. I was tired, wrote it in the wrong box. I'm not perfect. Oh, and Riccola, and I'm not going to take the bait for the rest of your comment, suffice to say that cherry picking one phrase and ignoring it in context is asinine. But, whatever...

That’s been going on since the 1990s. I’ve been waiting 30 years for it to go away.

Seems to be very normal to the USA. They did it to Hawaii, and this is why Canada and Greenland are not taking Trumps threats and rhetoric lightly. Canada was basically formed by assimilating, kidnapping Indigenous children and genocide. At least Canada acknowledges past atrocities and we're trying to make things better and move forward. Not like we can just rewind time and change the past. The USA wants Canadians to erase our history and conform to the USA history, erase our culture and take on a USA mindset, including the money-centric culture. (Shame on that Maine Senator for even thinking that was an acceptable letter to send our MLAs.)

What is unearned self-esteem? Are you saying self-esteem has to be earned and that if you have low self-esteem you should try to improve on that if that's not what others think you can have? I'm lost.

Three ducks flying up the wall. Fake brick wallpaper, especially around an equally fake electric "fireplace". Fluffy carpet in the toilet (restroom to Americans). Everybody wants an Aga...

That's not a trend - just personal preference. If it's a trend then it's been going for centuries and shows no sign of dying out anytime soon.
