    What offends you? Do you think people get offended to easily? What do you think is just so offensive that it can't be said?

    I don't think you should make fun or be offensive of someone's religion

    I saw on the Internet the other day someone got there ps4 account revoked because they messaged a Muslim "Allah is a sham and Muhammad was a pedofile" and I though that it was a horrible thing to say.

    It's pretty damn hard to offend me, but one thing that'll get me going is people that disrespect the music I listen to. I don't care what kind of music you listen to, if you feel something, anything from it, then that's goddamn beautiful, and that should not be insulted.

    Don't offend people's religion or their personality quirks or their interests (unless their interest involves killing humans and animals).
    What offends me are jokes about serious problems like rape, or generalizations made towards genders such as every man or every woman is the same.

    But yes, I do believe that we have gotten way too soft. I can't count the amount of times I make a joke that I feel doesn't sound bad in my head but once I say it, oh man do I make people feel awkward lmao. It doesn't happen that much anymore which I'm glad. I try to be more careful because I like to avoid trouble.

    It's all about opinions. Everyone believes they are more important and you are wrong

    Sad times we live in :(

  • The only thing that offends me more is when people make fun of those with disabilities. As someone who is disabled myself, it's not easy living with the fact that not everyone will understand you. I hate seeing people with disabilities get shamed or ridiculed just because they act differently than others. I've often gotten the same treatment myself because of being different. D:

    I do get offended somewhat easily. I tend to take things to heart as well, and it will also trigger my anxiety. I try not to let things get to me, but it's usually the downfall of having very severe anxiety. In some cases, I think people get carried away. Just yesterday, I saw something on Facebook about a woman who got offended because the turn signal of a bus looked like a pentagram. Like, you're worried over something like THAT when there's more pressing matters to get offended over? Some things though, I can understand. Others I just can't see being an issue at all.

    Negative behaviour that's not in retaliation of one being negative to begin with. There is absolutely no excuse to be mean to someone who hasn't wronged you in any way.


    Well, what do you think by people that get offended by sex jokes, or taken it a step further, Holocaust jokes, or taking it in really grey area, 9/11 jokes. They don't directly offend people, but people still get offended by it?

    It's just off-colour humour. I don't laugh at it personally, but I'm not going to get bent out of shape over it like my opinion over their humour trumps their humour. I'm not that important.

  • I don't usually offended really easy, or more or less I don't take it to heart much. However the few things that really do push me are often things said to me by snotty extended family.

    The biggest one personally are their comments usually on my appearance and how I choose to act. They always tell me, "Why are you wearing that?", "You don't look good with what you're wearing?" and the big one being "You should be dressing more like a girl" "...especially at your age" "stop trying to dress up as a boy it's disgraceful".
    Who are you to define what being a girl ia? They have never told me to act more feminine, but to be more like a girl because to them I'm obviously not dressing up like a girl like I HAVE to.

    Just because I prefer to wear hoodies, t-shirts, jeans and sneakers than to wear dresses, skirts and heels or whatever their definition of a girl is doesn't mean I'm TRYING to dress up like a guy - most of the clothes I get are even in the girls section. They don't understand even after how many times I tell them that their idea of the "right type of clothes" I generally feel uncomfortable wearing and yet it is expected that I'm suppose to wear it every day wear them every day like a "proper young lady" and to throw my "rags" away in the trash where they belong. Sure for events like certain party events or work interviews I will wear something proper to fit the occasion, but that's not good enough for them since they want to change my everyday wear as well.

    My hair also doesn't help because it's usually kept short for health reasons. Sometimes it's boy-short so I'm quite used to getting confused as a boy often (I'm not offended by that) and other times it's noticeably girlish above the shoulders type but they keep reminding me how I should grow my hair longer because I'll look much better "anyway" - more or less to fit their image of what a girl should be.

    Apart from that, because of how I'm dressed they think I'm gay despite being straight because "that what all lesbians do and dress" apparently and I have no chance at getting a boyfriend if I am actually straight...

    tl;dr My extended family are extremely stuck up and according to them I'm not a "real" girl.
    so much inner rage...

    Apart from that, people who speak badly about people close to me I will come to their house and slaughter them because I don't take that kindly.

  • People who insult my religion are really the only people who offend me. Otherwise I take everything else people say to try to hurt me with a grain of salt.

  • I'm sure irl I offend people a lot. I don't really filter anything I say I usually just speak my mind without putting any real thought into it. I'm sure I've made a few people want to punch me in the face before. However on the internet I have the opportunity to look at what I'm about to say and make sure I don't come off as a prick. So if I've offended you on the internet then I'm not making amends and you apparently deserved it.

    The way some people talk and the way they dress displeases me. I dislike the fad of girls wearing just leggings and their underwear (or not). And then people who can't spell really pisses me off; you're not stupid, and it's not fucking cute.

    Probably just asshole people in general. I do agree that people get offended too easily. People need to take sarcasm a little less serious imo.
