They're butthurt.
People mostly relate them to quasi-serious issues. It usually has to do with people who need their safe space, are transgender, trans-phobic, vegan or suicidal.
Of course, these topics are at its core serious, but it always get controversial since everyone has a different opinion.
Make a positive spin out of it, and it becomes a kink; an instant attraction of sorts.
And then we decide whether we want it or not ala deal breaker-style.
Take me for example:
When I go on a date with a girl, it's a major turn-off if she speaks too softly.
It just annoys me as I have to inch in super close, otherwise I can't hear shit. Despite that, the conversation is littered with my, "What?", "Excuse me?"
It may sound frivolous, but the fact is, it's a deal breaker to me. I wouldn't want to meet her again.
It's just perhaps, the rest of us aren't that vocal about it and it isn't of high intensity.
Does this then, make all of us walking time-bombs?
Are we actually easily offended in our own way?
Are we all butthurt?
