I think we overall agree then, it's just that society has become the 'walking on eggshells' part of your comment, in an attempt to not be sociopathic, which is part of the problem I am describing; just in different words.
In my opinion as someone who was constantly bullied in school and have had to deal with people through my life who (in a just world) would have been committed to a psych ward to figure out their issues in why they insist on psychologically harming others... I think we as a society are going too far now with being worried about hurting some random persons feelings over things they technically have no right to be offended over. Which is a tricky thing to discuss, because 'right to be offended' is a hard thing for some people to wrap their heads around when all they ever are is offended at everything.
Which is why I bring up the boy who cried wolf story. I think it suits the situation, since these people are essentially crying wolf at what the rest of society sees as 'nothing'.
Anyways, don't worry about whether or not something is a helpful expansion when discussing these things with me. Sometimes what ends up being the case is we actually agree on many points; but our lexicon differs. That's helpful because others will too, which means now both parties are giving a description that different people will now understand (hopefully) more accurately.
- llampx 4y agoHeh, the same people who bully others are the ones getting over-offended. Its just a new tool in their toolbox.
- Manu40 4y agoOh believe me, I know. I don't know about you, but I've been having to deal with these people for over 2 decades now, with only a few moments of respite. I can't begin to tell you how much I have to say on this subject. I've already written and deleted multiple paragraphs due to the potential of my words being against this sites rules.
