I mean you're more than welcome to share your opinion and/or be offended. I don't get why it's gotta be a generalized "triggered liberal" thing or w.e. - just seems so unproductive towards any end. If you want the language to stop, making it an us vs them thing doesn't appear to be a successful strategy.
If you're just memeing then carry on. It doesn't really bother me, I just never really understand the call-to-political-arms mentality for this kinda stuff, because it doesn't really change how people talk in my experience - it only changes who they talk to, which I think is counter-productive for society. A society built on private chatrooms is just putting everyone deeper into their own echo chamber.
- tylerhou 5y agoI’ve been called an SJW for politely asking people to stop saying “retarded” or the n-word (or saying things that sound close to the n-word to allude to it). So even if you politely ask, some people will interpret it as an us-vs-them fight anyway. I think the triggered liberal comment was an attempt at levity to make the feedback less harsh so that people might have a less visceral reaction.
- MrStonedOne 5y agoPeople don't like bad faith being injected into their speech, and its absolutely appropriate to treat such attempts as an act of aggression, because it is.
- BrianOnHN 5y ago> an attempt at levity to make the feedback less harsh Indeed.
