Thought id ask you lot on where you all stand with this as i am having a very hard time drawing the line.
For starters i wish this to be an adult discussion as i know this can be a touchy subject and i do not wish for any arguements or threads locked.
The problem im having is this...
These days i find too many people are easily offended. I dont know whether it can be viewed as only a millenial issue or moreso the way we have become as a society.
I also fid that these days a lot of people post wayy too much personal shit on social media... whether it be a break up, an argument between couples by posting statuses about eachother and basically airing there personal dirty laundry.
The other part i find rather disturbing is somewhat of self respect.... These days there are so many women posting semi naked if not naked with blured or hidden genetalia or boobs on line in a sexual manner in order to gain more followers... call me old fashion or perhaps maybe because i have 2 daughters but the way some of them these days portray themselves on line makes me think there really is nothing left for our imagination and wonder where the line should be drawn and quite frankly what happened to it (the line).
In many cases these days in the social media 4x4 world i am finding many women posting sexual or semi naked pics in fromt of their cars with bullshit inspirational quotes hoping to gain that next follower... dont get me wrong as a bloke i do fimd them attractive but moreso think to myself what the hell are you doing amd personally think they are cheapening themselves.
These people are happy to use it to their advantage for followers etc and are also happy to lap up the positive comments comming their way. By positive i also mean "liking" comments from men that would say something among the lines of them drooling, calling them hot, etc etc.... Anything that pretty much boosts their ego and makes them feel better about themselves... i believe for them it comes as am addiction... a thirst for followers and or likes...
The problem is though they dont seem to like the negative that may come with it...
A simple comment like "why do you feel the need to post semi naked photos of yourself on the internet" or simular remarks are ones that i find they dont like...
The old argument is though as they say if you dont like what you see dont follow... but doesnt that just mean everybody is litreally there to only give positive info and for those that oppose your opinion isnt wanted?
The next problem i find with many of these types of people is that the second the get given a negative response there have been plenty who have a whinge, a cry etc to there followers by making yet another post of them crying or upset stating that they arent happy at what people have said about them and also find that many also push the mental health card....
This is to me where it gets tricky...
Mental health i think we can all agree is a serious thing... Just on fathers day alone there are up to 40 men commiting suicide because the justice system is preventing them from seeing there children and alienating them from their children but thats another story...
What im trying to ask is , is the mental health card being pushed around far too easy as a mean for people to get what they want or when they dont get things going their way?
The sad thing is there are so many people out there dealing with real life problems who are suffering from real personal problems but i also feel that the "im offended" snowflake syndrome is now starting to be paired up with bullying and mental health.
Just today I was talking to a guy who had a big private investigator Buissnes and he said mental health claims at work are now the biggest work cover claim and the insurance company’s won’t investigate because theyre scared the person in question is going to kill themselves which in turn can have it come back on them.
He dead set lost his buisness almost over night! He said that back injures used to be the biggest issues now its mental health...
He said that these days all you have to say is you want to harm/kill yourself wanna kill and your insurance certification is in the mail.
This makes me pretty cut to hear because there are so many people affected by it genuinely and it erks me to hear that there are some people out there willing to push the mental health card...
So my question to you all is , if there are snowflakes on line who carry on this way as mentioned about where and how do we as a generation to come go with this and how on earth do we figure out a way so this problem doesnt get worse?
Are we starying to see a "snowflake, post semi naked pics on line and everyone should be cool with it and if youre not im going to be offended and drop The mental health card" type of generation or is there a way we can move on from it?
Thoughts and questions... keep it nice please...
