We’re at Stage 3, where soft men/women/non-binary otherkins/furrys/etc make hard times.

Once society shunned their crazies/useless members.

Then they were cared for/institutionalized.

Then they were set free because it was cruel not too.

Then they were lauded as virtuous special snowflakes.

The pendulum has only just begun to swing back, and it usually doesn’t stop in the middle.

Hard Times are going to be, well, hard.
