It's not a wealthy western phenomena. It's global and it's as old as the hills.
- InGoodFaith 7y agoI wish you would take GP's comment in good faith. NB: I have lived in these countries, and I am also part of what you may call a "protected group" in western areas. I have come to terms with it. Counter examples: 1 - PRC's treatment of Uighar muslims, LGBTQ+, Tibetans 2 - Light-hearted potrayals of lolicon, sexual harassment in the entertainment (specifically anime) industry 3 - "No foreigners / (insert specific race group here)" signs in some Japanese establishment that normalize xenophobia.

- strbean 7y agoHow does that narrative apply to the example we are discussing in this thread - r/wallstreetbets? All the objectionable language used there is self-applied. The members of that community call themselves gay, autist, etc. Are they trying to persecute themselves, and evading social standards by calling it comedy?
