I get what you mean however:

It wasn’t common to me, I’ve never heard of that hashtag (I don’t use Twitter) and it’s not used by any of my family or friends, which is why I asked.

Contrary to the ideology of assume first ask never, I did the opposite and tried to politely ask what they meant.

I could care less about downvotes from people who’d rather make an assumption first than simply ask someone to elaborate or participate in conversation rather than black and whiting everything all the fucking time lol.

Sounds like a miserable life imo, I feel bad for them more than anything, vicious cycle.

Long story short, people should be more inquisitive and less judgmental imo.

Right, politely ask about the stuff some "snowflake" would say. The expression is someone "turning to the dark side" which I find very hard to believe you haven't heard. You came across very much as assuming they were saying something political.

Yeah, that’s a good point. That was a lazy adjective I used for a quick jab. Didn’t really add anything and it only confused what I wanted to actually say because I got greedy.

Thanks for keeping level headed and talkin about this with me - I’m gonna leave it as is and take this one on the chin rather than edit it and try to rewrite things.

Hey man, I appreciate the humility! Takes a lot to own up to things. You take care.
