It may be a good idea for us all to make a pact to keep these topics in Poli-Sci from now on.

Whilst the Internet has done so many good things for the world, one of the worst is that people can basically bully and accuse others of something, with little to no consequences.

As you said, people throw terms around so flippantly now they are the generic thing used when people try to win arguments.

Not sure if any of you are gamers, but I waited 7 years for a sequel to the Last of Us game, which I frankly didn't enjoy. However, write that on the Internet and you get accused of not liking the game because "it includes transgenders."

Internet can be a dangerous and idiotic place.
