Society lets you go from an asshole to "truther" with one word

I don't have to. Look at the OP. If your major complaints about injustice and hipocricy in society are about who gets to make jokes about who, things aren't that bad. Especially considering all of the things going on that ARE worth worrying about and that ARE worth saying something about? Things that people of all races, genders, religions, whatever, have to work through and live with? In a world where getting an eductation is both more important to have and more difficult to attain I'm supposed to sit here and nod my head and get angry about someone making jokes about white people?

 

In fact, I find it demeaning that I'm supposed to do anything but laugh at a thread like this. It's offensive that people would think it's worth our time to complain about nonsense like this.

So, I take it that you find people complaining about being fat shamed offensive as well? I mean by your own logic, there's way more things to worry about. 

No,no,no,no. Don't for one second mistake this thread as equal to a personal story about being body shamed.

This is one guy (well, a few people actually) taking opinions of a very small segment of people on the internet, projecting them out onto society as a whole, and then claiming that society is being hypocritical and unfair to groups that, in a genearal sense, don't suffer the kind of injustices being presented. Since the majority of society doesn't perscripe to the opinions in the OP.

1. Saying "men are horrible" in normal society is NOT acceptable.

2. Saying "White peope need to stop commiting crimes" is both something your unlikely to ever actually here, and isn't something that's going to garner any sort of agreement pretty much no matter who you're with.

3. It is totally acceptable in most instances to say you prefer skinny people. What isn't okay, is to shame somebody for being skinny.

4.  Not only is it okay to say that Muslims need to reform their issues, but if someone says that than it is a particularly level headed conversation on the topic.

5. What the fuck is a heterosexual joke?

6. If you think it's not okay to tell jokes about liberals, you aren't spending enough time with conservatives.

 

The complaints in the OP are not societal problems. My issue, and what I find offensive, is that I'm supposed to be upset over made up bs like this.

 

This OP is for people who live in a bubble.
