Now came cross it in a news article in my first language. Maybe it was picked up from where it appeared overseas. Didn't pay much attention to the word, as these days they invent a lot to describe all kinds of nonsense which in the end turns out to be not worth much time. So this term means those people which easily show up offensed in social media and reality and quickly claim vengeance for their "hurt" feelings... And while claiming and executing it, they fuck up everything in culture and everything in mindsets, sometimes more racist and sexistic than what they allegedly want to fight.
Well, maybe that's a method to cause attention to oneself which you originally wouldn't get it if you stayed regular in society. Maybe that can be even blamed on the US-culture-driven mannerism that this country has flooded the world with. At least there can be said, you notice in the US-blogosphere (even here) that there are often repeatedly reoccurring discussions and debates about someone pouring out a mindset which is even from the day before yesterday. A lot of people make a fuzz about it how you can be such an asshole. Barely a day passes where you don't have anything like that. And even while partly this outrage may be justified, but it reflects how sensible the people in the US are about certain topics and how they react like a seismograph. I wouldn't consider this mannerism, as it now also appears in Europe and throughout other parts of the world, as "traditionally part of their culture". It is a thing typical of the cultural circle of the US, with all its propagated individualism, regard to the individual, even if he socially does crap, and all its cirlcing around strong emotions.
