Yes, and that’s the downside of the internet as it become more entshittified: the pile on of trolls who want to stomp down anything that’s fun or unique. Dog forbid anyone be happy or be themselves!
And unfortunately, the downside of the social panopticon that social media has become. Stupid, angry people dump their negative energy on people who just want to live their lives.
And this is why I wouldn’t envy the younger generations but I do worry for them. They have burdens that we old ‘uns didn’t have to deal with, ones with a significant negative impact on their self-perception and mental health.
Back in my day, we had sayings like, stay weird, and don’t feed the trolls. Maybe it’s time to return to those ideas. Because negativity sure as shih ain’t working for folks.
