I think a lot of people on reddit could not take the non-PC approach of saidit. Their brains might explode.

Yeah and I think that there are a lot of chucklefucks that view reddit as the de facto watering hole. There's a "feel good" factor that the non-intrepid will struggle with in coming over here.

I think that we need to accept that we're really better than other people. If you like Saidit better than reddit, then that's a sign of intellect and character. We should stick together and get through this. Play the game. Provide subtle resistance to the lunacy.

I accept.

That degree of oversensitivity is not organic, not as a society-wide phenomenon anyway; it's been culturally conditioned. And as such I fully believe it can be unlearned, but without a massive paradigm shift that would require a level of personal motivation that most redditors just don't have. So I agree with you but I think it's as much about culture as it is personality.
