Why are milennials so easily offended?

Most millennials are little whiney cry babies. I'm an elder millennial. You're unaware of prissy millennials because they do all their crying through email or direct messages and never create threads on forums because it's too confrontational.

Not a boomer! ;)

Yeah exactly.

It's the same with antimaskers. If they genuinely don't want to wear one, they would shop online, but instead they go to a store with their camera rolling and stand there for 10 minutes having an argument. It's attention seeking and it's getting really tiresome 😒

the right winger ones spring to the conclusion that :
there is a 'war' on Christmas
they're being 'censored' when someone objects to their slurs, or 'disrespects' herr schlump

of course. it's a personality type.

I think this is true. Kids know when they've lost, whether they get a trophy or not. I think the problem with participation trophies is that they represent a culture where kids aren't given effective tools for dealing with failure or accepting that things sometimes turn out badly. They have to pretend they don't know that they lost. Hence, the adults around them don't teach them that you can lose stuff and still be a worthwhile person. In fact, I think the constant insistence that everyone is equally a winner leads to the belief that if you DO lose then you must NOT be a worthwhile person. I think it's a sort of dereliction of duty on the part of adults, to not be willing to accept the pain that a young person feels when they realize bad things can happen to you in life.

But, for the under age 5 set, I think they don't really care if they won. They just like the shiny medal.
