I noticed an increased amount of vitriol and slimy online posts around August 2013 at the beginning of the Gamergate controversy which I am not linking to here as I do not want to dredge up any names. The second big jump seemed to ignite on November 8 2016, changing to a tsunami of questionable posts by 01/01/2017 (I will let others make that connection). I have no solutions. I do not expect Rian Johnson to have any solutions. However something we should all be aware of, if we do not police ourselves others will do it for us. Given the current climate in DC, I think that we should all shape up quickly.
I agree with a comment Dan said (maybe in jest or even frustration), let's retrain humanity. Next time a questionable noun is used, just use the comment field to simply link to the word in a dictionary. For example "snob" http://www.dictionary.com/browse/snob?s=t
Definition does not seem to be complimentary, but maybe that is just my viewpoint?
