This offends me!

[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!

[lugal@sopuli.xyz]

It's not that comments are supposed to be original or something. Sometimes it's just to engage with the YouTuber or the community or just to boost the algorithm. If you're looking for good content on YouTube, watch the videos instead

[nandeebisu@lemmy.world]

I mean, what was the post? Some things that are posted are offensive whether or not you intended that and it's not unreasonable for someone to comment on that.

If it's happening to someone so often they need to physically move to a different platform, maybe they should pay more attention to what their saying and the audience you say it to.

Like if I'm with friends and someone makes a dead baby joke, I'd probably laugh, if someone recently had a miscarriage the reaction to that joke will be very different.

I wouldn't expect a lot of 4chan jokes to fly in normal society and if you can't engage with normal society without making 4chan appropriate jokes, maybe you need to work on your conversational skills.

[niktemadur@lemmy.world]

1. No it isn't.
2. No I'm not.
3. No it isn't.

(yes to all three, actually)

[cidvicious@sh.itjust.works]

Well...I suspect a lot of the people who routinely complain about this stuff actually are teenagers.

[lugal@sopuli.xyz]

Well, to make it, you need money and therefore an investor and you won't convince anyone with "it" anymore
