These days? It's been happening forever. I'm still desensitized to seeing swastikas and other bullshit on bathroom stalls just because kids were edgy decades back. I think a lot of people missed this or just weren't paying attention and now thing it's happening all of a sudden, but in fairness, it could be due to more attention being brought to it. People feel more unsafe after watching the news, even if they've never been safer.
