I just got modded for making a joke about someone with a cat in their avatar getting wet. How can you resist not making a sexual innuendo about that? It's just so easy. 😆 come on dude... People need to lighten up

You guys, it's called oppression. An example: Women have, for a very long time, been subjected to falsified claims that they are not as capable, don't deserve the same rights, etc.

Transgender is barely accepted in most social circles. Gay people just got the right to marry which amounts only to legal stipulations and not social acceptance to a wide variety of social groups. There are many reasons for many different opinionated people to feel upset when someone says something offensive, or it's easier to be offended as an individual if you fall under any of these categories.

Some people will get upset, others may laugh, others may tell you stfu. All you can do is move on. If what you say falls onto the wrong ears then what are you going to do? Oh well if they feel something negative but there is a simple understanding as to why they would feel something negative.



No, you're offended easily!

*runs off crying*



Maybe it's you, I don't remember ever being called sexist/racist or such, and I did my fair share of typing on the net. If people repeatedly kept on sending me a message, I'd think hard about possibility of them being actually right.



    CU......or CF ?

I had a big falling out with half my clan in an online game simply because I said someone "got raped". (as in owned)

Pretty much just got to be SJW.

Perhaps you should change your nickname.

A gentleman like Hershel Layton always finds the right words to say without offending anyone. ;)

 


I do my best. However, I cannot find a way to say something without some sort of outrage or whining

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

You get offended too easily by those who get offended, they have always been there stop focusing on them, slut!



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Meh, I see more people complaining about people getting offended more nowadays and people joking about being offended then people actually being offended.

I don't know if I get what could that joke be, can you reproduce it here?
I'll go quote a mod here on a totally unrelated topic while you do it.

It's in this thread:
