Removed this subbullet that was attached to the hedonistic attitudes bullet. It spawned a massive ATT thread which is clogging up that venue but this needs more discussion, especially to get the Example Indentation sorted.

  • However the rise of political correctness has also spawned a massive backlash. Terms like "Social Justice Warrior" ("SJW" for short) have risen to mock people who take political correctness too far, with a Straw Feminist stereotype being associated with the Vocal Minority on social media websites such as Tumblr and Twitter. Opposition to multiculturalism amid increased immigration and terrorism have spawned far-right populist parties which many feel are harboring sentiments reminiscent of the Third Reich. In addition, neo right-wing groups have emerged, with varying stances towards social issues. These groups are dubbed as the "alt-right", and may be the counterclaim to more liberal millennials.

Here's how I would reword the entry, personally, to be more objective and informative.

  • The increased discussion of political correctness has also increased political polarization. Terms like "Social Justice Warrior" are used to accuse people of taking political correctness too far. Common targets for this sentiment are college students and certain subgroups of social media sites like Tumblr and Twitter. On the flip side, opposition to multiculturalism amid increased immigration has spawned far-right populist parties and neo-right-wing groups, dubbed the "alt-right." These groups often fight the ideas behind modern social justice in the name of free speech, with social media making it much easier for strangers to unite or clash over political and social stances.

(Honestly the more I read the original example the more it does seem biased...focusing on the Vocal Minority for the "SJW's" example but framing the alt-right as having "varying stances towards social issues" and a "counterclaim to more liberals millenials." I also removed the "terrorism" bullet because it implies only the right was concerned about terrorism, which isn't true and has Unfortunate Implications when saddled alongside "increased immigration.")

I'm considering mentioning antifa since that's another political group that really emerged in this decade but I'm very worried about framing it the wrong way.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

My only complaint is that I still find "political correctness too far" to be redundant.

Other than that, the rewording seems fine.

So out of curiousity, how are we going to deal with the works listed here? I'd like for these to be given the same deal as the other decades gave undergone, that and giving mediums within the decade their own pages too...

I now go by Graf von Tirol.
