Is chronically online culture becoming mainstream?

There are some things that I consider to only be known by chronically online people like femboys, furries, non binary xenogenders (I'm sorry if you are non binary but at least in my country no one cares about it irl)

Tho I've seen too many people irl make some jokes that you would expect to see on the internet by a chronically online redditor. My brother's friend (only 10 years old btw) said "if you lose the dare you're a furry femboy" 💀

Then a guy who is in my friend group said he's really into "looksmaxxing' lately. A lot of them acted like it was something normal to say.

Too many young people using TikTok slang irl, I don't know, I prefer to keep the internet shit on the internet and just forget about it in my day to day life.

Damn even my parents sometimes mention some influencer that got cancelled, it feels illegal that my parents know about some random streamer.

It is not becoming, it is mainstream and has been that way for well over a decade.

You've starting noticing millennials have grown up into full-fledged adults.

non binary xenogenders (I’m sorry if you are non binary but at least in my country no one cares about it irl)

Also wtf.

What is weird about xenogenders not being something people care about in my country

I didn't say it was weird.

My reaction to your unnecessary comment about no one caring about non-binary people in your country is "what the fuck".

I don't think they meant it offensively. Likely was saying that it's not an issue in their country and therefore nobody cares.

Come on, this is entirely unnecessary to say. Apologizing up front means they know it's offensive.

Maybe a language issue idk.

But yes, unnecessary and mean.
