Me too. I was originally worried that this thread was going to eventually erupt into a flame war and get nuked, but the exact opposite has happened. I based a lot of my wording on the front page around that expectation. I can probably change it now, actually, since I have been proven thoroughly wrong. I hope I'm not the only one who wants to keep on proving Tree wrong.

☂ I'm really sad that the Christian Thread on Chicken Smoothie got deleted. Apparently, everyone kept discussing gay rights, and had been warned by a mod not to? Eventually, the mod locked the thread due to that discussion. It sucks, yo.
Basically why I'm SUPER happy that this thread is still up and running. I literally was so happy to find this. c:

Actually most people on the site are either young millennials or generation z. Generation Z is usually said to have started around 1995 and are called the Digital Natives, since we have grown up with technology. And now coming up is Generation Alpha, those born 2010 and later.

wcrpforums.com/thread/8167/mm?page=1It's mad. I had no idea anything like this was going on so I was like "What the heck?" But almost all of the time I spend on here is spent on this thread, so I guess I just haven't seen any of it. What's their new album called? I like Skillet but have never really gotten too deep into them Late to the party. But here's my input.
Honestly, I think half the people on this website need professional help. And I don't say that as a mean, bitter, "they're crazy" way. I honestly think a lot of forumers need to seek professional counseling from a therapist. I mean, there are the kids with depression and I know they can't help that. But then you've got these other forumers who just blow every tiny bit of drama way out of proportion and seemed to be offended by everything...they become so uptight and worried about being personally attacked that they can no longer laugh at themselves. Everyone here knows I'm Catholic. And I've been verbally (and physically, once) attacked for that belief. I know what it's like to be singled about because of something a part of myself. But I can still laugh at light-hearted jokes pertaining to my faith ("these candles are too Catholic-y"). I know when they're meant to be mean-spirited and when they're not meant to be taken seriously. And I think that's part of the problem with a lot of youth today, not just on here. They take jokes very seriously. And frankly, I do agree with some of the people on the thread-- there are some people on this site that need to loosen up and not be so quick to jump to the offensive. The other day, I saw someone make a "wasted food? im triggered" joke. Obviously it's meant to mock the tumblr-esque version of "triggers," aka "this thing makes me mildly uncomfortable". Not mocking the people who have legitimate traumas and triggers. But immediately some accounts starts commenting about how that "wasn't funny at all" and "really offensive." And I'm just over here like...???? Are you serious?
Unfortunately I am part of a generation that feels offended by everything because society has been pounding into their heads that underneath everything there's some form of a subtle misogynist/racist/homophobic message. Not helped by the fact that a lot of teens never say what they really mean, leading to communication confusion and a lack of trust. Put those together, and you have millennials who suspect that everything is a personal attack against someone.
I also want to get this off my chest: half of OTD are drama queens. I've seen at least ten legitimate call-out threads or passive-aggressive "UGH DRAMA" topics. That is not how you stop drama, that's how you fan it. I swear, these forums might mostly be older teens/young adults, but they act like emotionally unstable middle schoolers.
Part of me thinks the thread you linked was at least partially directed at me. I've made a few snarky comments, like "wow drama" when I sense trouble brewing. And I posted a trigger joke on the ""SJW"" thread (which was a joke made by sjws lol). I can't think of much else besides that. But it seems to fit into what they count as trouble makers.
Ok yeah honestly I completely agree with you. I wasn't going to say anything, but there's a reason the Brits are calling our generation "Generation Snowflake". I still can't really personally judge what's going on in the rest of the forums though, since I pretty much only come here.
