It's baffling how this type of worsening is happening in every place on the internet these days... I think it's just a natural thing to happen when those said places keep existing for a long time: while at first people are happy, active and full of willingness of doing something productive and friend-bonding, then things get not as interesting as before and some people start to claim the right to act like a douche by offending people, imposing opinions and doing messes just for fun.

I admit to have acted in that kind of way sometimes (only on the slightly rude side, not on the hateful and disrespectful one, but still)... it's something that I felt liberatory to do at the moment, but then turned out to be just useless.

Not everyone can be nice, and it might be just a matter of accepting and dealing with it. It's not like everyone in here is bad as an expired egg, there are many examples of civil discussion, just like Hydraffe has said below.

P.S: I am grateful to have not seen the examples of racism, sexism and omotransphobia you are talking about. Because I would have gone REALLY mad.
