A debate where people are discussing which group of people is ruining society the most, special snowflakes because of their oversensitivity, and edgelords because of their overinsensitivity, without realizing that it's technically both of them who have done the most damage.
Is there any reason to have an edgelord vs. snowflake debate? They're both equally toxic and have been ruining our culture for years now.

Utilitarian edgelord

A person that has to come up with an extreme hypothetical to justify an action (that is commonly known as immoral) under utilitarianism. Often used to get away with edgy comments and not focus on the issues that those actions have in our current society.
Person 1: "Well, technically rape is morally neutral. If you could save all of humanity from an alien invasion by raping this one girl that would be a moral good"
Person 2: "Shut the fuck Steve, anything can be justified by incredibly stupid hypotheticals, you are just being a utilitarian edgelord"

ATS Edgelord

A particular user of the internet conspiracy forum "AboveTopSecret". Generally a member of the "alt-right", the ATS Edgelord fancies themselves smarter than most. These individuals often hold epistemological nihilistic beliefs, and a clear lack of topical understanding. An "ATS Edgelord" will often try to bully, belittle, and "out conspiracy" others.
Simon knew he was dealing with a typical ATS Edgelord when he was told "both sides are the same, man" and accused of being a Soros-paid internet shill for the so-called 'Deep State'.

stand-up edgelord

Often mistaken for comedians, who in contrast are actually funny and talented because their jokes do not punch down.

unintentional edgelord

people in online comment sections or forums giving extreme, hyperbolic, and/or controversial opinions for attention and validation. However, unlike normal edgelords, these commenters actually believe these opinions (albeit their belief is usually based on feeling rather than research) and are not just given for shock value. They even usually believe they're smarter than others and are unaware that they are seeking validation.

A common form it takes is the commenter pointing at a normal human behavior, a flaw in human perception, or a societal trait. Followed by them call it stupid (without researching why it exists) in a way that generalizes humanity but puts themselves on a pedestal for being above people that do that behavior or follow that norm.
person 1: I can't believe people fall for (illusion our brain isn't designed to see through), we are such a stupid species.
person 2: how does that make us stupid, we've never needed to use this in the wild.
person 1: but I figured it out, humans are the dumbest.
person 2: After it was explained to you. Look, can you even support that or are you just an unintentional edgelord?
person 1: *Leaves conversation in frustration*
