If I want to offend someone and generalize with the intention of making people feel insecure, that's on me. If I say something that offends or "triggers" someone, know that I have no regrets and genuinely wishes for this person to learn how to cope with his insecurities so that the next guy trying to trigger him finds less success. Because if it's not me triggering someone, it will be someone else eventually. That's life. People will try to offend each other no matter what people like you say. The best solution to inevitable attacks is not to complain about them every time that they occur; The best solution is learning how to defend yourself. |
...What did I just read? You're being sarcastic, right? You can't actually seriously believe what you're saying. You're the one who's in no position to teach someone to "learn how to cope with his insecurities." You haven't been decreed by God to give people tougher skin. If you have no qualms about intentionally triggering and offending someone, and worse yet are actually prideful of it, you have absolutely reason to be offended for being called out on it. What are you even offended about? You proudly proclaim to be insensitive and express literal sociopathy in the intent of your deliberately offensive actions, but then are offended by what, exactly? Someone saying that being nice and considerate is the actual right thing to do? Someone confirming that being a dick is always a bad thing? Did you think I was attacking your right to be a jerk? Because I wasn't, but having the right to do something doesn't mystically absolve you from accountability. Just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean you have the duty, obligation, or judgementitive pardon to do it. You don't.
It doesn't matter if someone else will be an asshole in your place if you aren't. That doesn't make being an ass suddenly okay. That's like a thief saying "well if I don't steal from you, someone else will eventually. Just know that when I unceremoniously swipe your shit, I have no regrets and genuinely wish for you to learn how to cope with people stealing shit from you so that the next time someone steals from you, it won't bother you." It doesn't matter if "it's life." It's not right. It's wrong. The only solution is to stop being intentionally insensitive and to correct yourself when you are unintentionally insensitive. People will try to murder other people "no matter what people like me say." That doesn't magically make murder okay. People get raped in the world every day "no matter what people like me say." That doesn't suddenly make raping someone fine. This isn't a high school drama. It doesn't matter if "everybody's doing it." You shouldn't be doing it. It's not right. It. Is. Wrong. Deliberately offending someone is wrong, and no one should be doing it. I literally cannot believe I'm even having this conversation.
I'm not putting myself in a position to tell anyone anything. This isn't some devine law bestowed upon only me to teach to the world their morals. It's common human decency. You're taught this shit in pre-kindergarten.
