This offends me!

Oh man there was an entire south park episode about this...

Even triggering arguments to build up hype on socials. Can't find the episode, but it mentioned arguing or disagreeing with someone while aiming for a 3rd person to jump in overreacting and it spreads.

If you can't tell what is offensive and what isn't

That's subjective though

[mummifiedclient5000@feddit.dk]

No it's not!

[hexesofvexes@lemmy.world]

"Seek offence and you shall find it"

[smeg@feddit.uk]

My butt hurts!

[honytawk@lemmy.zip]

Oh yeah? Where is your proof?

[recreationalcatheter@lemm.ee]

really bored loser

That's offensive

[kichae@lemmy.ca]

Eh. People should take things as seriously as they feel they should. A lot of actually important shit, that challenges real and significant injustices, gets shut down with "don't take things so seriously". We don't need to turn discussing our feelings about the world into an "I'm so chill" competition.

But also, people need to understand - on both sides of the utterance - that "I find this offensive" is an informational statement, not a demand for action. If I find something you've said offensive, that's information that is now yours to weigh as you please. If you don't care to understand why, or decide that my feelings don't outweigh whatever else you're trying to do, then you're now making that decision with a little bit of extra feedback.

Getting defensive about someone not liking what you've done is on you.

That's not an argument, it's just contradiction

[mummifiedclient5000@feddit.dk]

We've been over this already.

[etterra@discuss.online]

Their mistake was engaging the offended idiot.

[deadvey@lemmy.ml]

How is that offensive?

[krauerking@lemy.lol]

You need to educate yourself on why this is offensive!

[zorque@lemmy.world]

And a lot of unimportant shit that shouldn't really be a factor gets brought up because some people just don't like it.

Trans people in women's bathrooms, or even something as simple as gay marriage, for example. Should we spend time and energy on that because it hurts peoples feelings?

Like I said, it's not a matter of all one thing or all another. It's about finding a middle ground.

[niktemadur@lemmy.world]

No it isn't

[akatsukilevi@lemmy.world]

And I commented that only because it was a joke over the comic itself, it just felt funny

[justanotherkay@lemmy.world]

My butt hurts!

[theobvioussolution@lemm.ee]

Man, this reminds me so much of a recent submissions I made. The amount of BS text certain "users" can write and the extents they will go through to it for something relatively harmless is wild, specially when they are the sort to make wild unproven accusations.

[valmond@lemmy.world]

If that's from monty python then you are right. Marvelous piece.

[peppycito@sh.itjust.works]

Cause this is lemmy and finding new communities and people to block is the main event!
