Why are you offended when people call the Xbox One XBONE?

I don't get offended, it does make me look at that person differently tho. I love the 'it's shorter' argument tho, because browsing a videogame forum means you don't have an extra 0.5 second to type it out properly :P

Those that use it want to use it and they want the negative connotations to be put across.

But no point getting bent out of shape about it, actually it's kinda helpful.

Yeah, I kinda of believe that there are more people that hope it's offensive than people that are actually offended by it, LOL.

This can be pretty much the same thing though. It's like saying "oh, I don't mind you calling me x, but I know that calling me x was mean spirited". Clearly if you don't think it's offensive, you simply don't discuss it or raise it as an issue. Not saying that this applies to everyone, but I'm sure there's some truth in it.

It kind of reminds me of the whole "Oh, I don't mind gay guys as long as they don't make out in front of me". Well, clearly you do mind, because you didn't mention anything about straight guys making out with girls.
