    This is ridiculous, really. It does feel as if you were bots going aggressively off on a tangent with no connection to the content or context.

    Or you are simply unwilling/unable to make a distinction between different levels of communication.

    Do you agree that sometimes things were fine to say in the past and now they are considered hate speech? That was the topic of the discussion.

    To prevent you and others from getting caught up in and endless loop of being triggered, I will provide another example instead: In the past it was okay to address a woman as “Fräulein X” when she was unmarried. And as “Frau X” when she was married (in German). No one cared about that, now, many people will considered it rude an bigoted and call you a sexist when doing it anyway.

    Now that I think about it I feel it’s actually quite easy to find a few examples, and the question to the original poster to provide an example was seemingly just bait so you all can get enraged for a bit. And everyone who didn’t participate in the overall outrage, you generously consider and treat as a bigot you have to correct as well.
