You can always tell when prolonged exposure to social media has critically damaged a portion of someone's soul by the fact that when they make any statement online there is also an addendum addressing what they know the inevitable misreading or crappy response to that statement will be

"I really like waffles. But if you don't that's fine! And also pancakes are good too - l, look, just JFC let me enjoy waffles, okay, what is morally wrong with that - wait, you know what, don't even tell me, I'm so sorry I asked, please forget I said anything and that I even exist. I'm so sorry. I don't even know why but I'm sorry. Fuck waffles. Or not. I don't even know any more."

- Anyone who gets a moderate amount of interaction with their posts online

As my own little addendum because I have been critically damaged by social media too: no, this is not a complaint against "cancel culture" or anyone being held accountable for legitimately crappy things they might say. Read it literally. It is about the fear that even saying you like waffles is going to set someone off.

@AbandonedAmerica Oh, man. The anti-waffle people. They are the worst.

@AbandonedAmerica As long as they shut the hell up about hash browns, I can probably get by.

@roadskater oh, not hash browns. Those are the trash they put on your plate because they don't care about you and want you to end your breakfast on a sad note. Hash browns are an affront to breakfast eaters, sir.

@AbandonedAmerica Okay, now I'm affronted.

@roadskater by hash browns? Boy, I feel you on that one.

@AbandonedAmerica Circling back to the original point of your thread, "Don't dis my food!"

@AbandonedAmerica Sounds like a tasty deal. I will admit I am partial to French toast rather than waffles.
