Why are people so sensitive on the internet (lemmy.zip)

People treat you like you said the worst thing ever but you actually just asked "Are you sure you're bi? You've never been with a woman yet you might want to experiment more with your sexuality" to a man that recently started to have doubts of being bi in his 30's.

I got jumped by different people calling me biphobic and toxic and what not. And I'm sorry but I congratulate you if that question seems like the worst you've ever seen in your life.

I envy the privilege of having such an easy life that such a trivial thing sounds like oppression to you.

This is only on the internet tho, in real life this type of situation would never happen, normally people have too much going on to be offended by bullshit

Well the difference is the stranger is asking about feedback on the internet? like be so for real. Also what stupid example is that, are y'all so mentally challenged that you can't see the difference between someone finding out their sexuality at 14 to someone doing so later in life?
