Do you agree that people these days are far too sensitive over anything that they take any slight political disagreement or constructive criticism?

as a personal attack against them?

For instance, if I acknowledge that woman is overweight, that would get me the "fatphobic" buzzword thrown at me, even if I'm only just showing concern for her health (possibility of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in the future) rather than trying to put her down or insult her. Nowadays, it's just not worth trying to help anyone out without too many people taking everything personal these days, lol.

Yes

No

Depends

Others

You shouldn't talk about a womans weight. Simply because it will always go south. But in general I think people can be overly sensitive. If worst thing that happens to a person in given day is that someone calls them a name or disagrees with them, they have nothing to complain about. Because there are millions of people around the world that have much worse happen to them in the same day. Yet some people act as if being called a name or someone disagreeing with their view is equal to finding out a close family member died or winding up in the hospital with serious injury.

Communication keeps getting better and media keeps reporting on bullshit to fill their 24/7 news sched. So perhaps it feels like the sensitive extremists are taking over when actually they’re just getting more spotlight.
