I think risks are a lot higher generally now, just in everday life.

Back 20 years ago people were a lot more understanding and had a lot more tolerance for things.

Now everyone is looking to get offended or make a big deal about stuff. That mentality has affected everything. The risks are higher which makes the entry higher and deflection from the status quo dangerous.

People feel on guard just with talking. That sort of mentality will bleed into everything.
