Anyone else notice the huge increase in the number of people who claim to find something offensive? It's like some sort of internet craze. I swear people try and find ways to be offended these days, it's so ridiculous.

Obviously I understand that people use hateful and disgusting words to purposefully upset others, but I swear half the stuff I hear people get 'offended' over these days is so freaking pathetic.

I think individuals can be offended by anything. I would be offended if someone told me they reminded me of someone I didn't like. But that in itself isn't particularly offensive.

People think that if you get offended and others are too it makes you right

That's a good example. I never thought of it in this context, but yes, I think this is one of the only times I'd ever be offended by something. Even if the person didn't mean it in a nasty way, I'd still be like 'you bitch' or whatever.

Yea I think it's part of that political correctness, hopefully it's dying out. Like people are entitled to be offended, but the problem is when they expect other people or the media to change so they will no longer be offended.

People are crying wolf at every little thing nowadays and it's becoming very annoying and people will soon start tiring of it and will stop listening altogether.

[Northern Monkey]

People will soon get bored of being offended.

It's funny though nobody seems to get offended by really serious things... kids having their cherry popped at school by their 'ethics' teacher? nope, not too offended.
But some random stereotyping or perceived racial/sexual slur is scrutinised.

Please give some examples I am interested in this subject very much.

..I think that mostly people are offended when there is an intention to offend though...

[jennyjuniper]

I hate it most when people say offensive things, but try to sugar coat them with insincere smiles (Nadia does this) I would much rather have someone like Katy say something offensive to my face, which I could respond to. The Nadia's of this world always look suprised when you take offence and their usual reaction is 'Can't you take a joke'?

[kirklancaster]

I'm offended by people who do not take offense when I am being offensive about people who do not take offense when I am being offensive.

..well, what an offensive post, Kirk/we're all deeply offended.....

Yes, Ammi, I was being irrelevant and flippant. You must be tired this morning love if you didn't see this as immediately as you normally would.

THIS SITE IS THE WORST FOR IT. ANYTHING YOU EVER MENTION ABOUTGAYS OR HOMOSEXUAL ISSUES YOU GET NAME CALLED A HOMOPHOBE AND DECENT POSTS GET DELETED. people pretend to get offended because they don't like having their idiotic views challenged, so then then try to silence you taking fake offence, its a massive attack on freedom of speech. the people who really should be protected are the truly vulnerable...the sick disabled and elderly who cant defend themselves, yet we never hear anything about the horrific abuse and discrimination and bullying they face all day every day...instead all we hear about is rich loose women spouting man hate and radical islam preaching hate and self pity
