The term on its own is not offensive but using it in the wrong way indirectly belittles people with actual problems associated with it. I don't think for a second that you were trying to piss anyone off (and holy hell I sound like some overly PC twat for saying this), but it's a teachable moment wherein I can explain how your words might come across as a micro-aggression. and yes, I am well aware I come across sounding like South PArk's PCPrincipal, but there are some ways in which that character - though clearly an exagerrated parody - was an accurate representation of what some people wish for. That said, you're being awfully aggressive towards me here. Like, you suffering from Anxiety Disorder isn't quite the same thing and the way you used 'triggered' had absolutely nothing to do with a panic attack so I have no idea why you felt the need to use it as an excuse. But whatever, internet peeps will be internet peeps. |
You're right man. Last thing I want to do is offend people. So even if I don't quite understand or agree with it being offensive, I'm willing to accept your advice in the hopes that it keeps this sort of thing from happening ever again.
