The "don't be easily annoyed" rule is increasingly needed. An acquaintance was recently attacked for saying "hey guys" on a Discord. Then when he pointed out the madness of it, he got banned.
- FridayNightTV 3y ago> The "don't be easily annoyed" rule is increasingly needed. Interestingly.... I recall a post on here where a bloke got very indignant about the innocent use of the term 'Chinaman'; something this Englishman (sharing an office with two Frenchmen, an Irishman and a Dane) found rather odd, especially considering the complainant was not Chinese themselves. I think this was my introduction to the idea of the 'modern' internet user being far too easily offended (on somebody else's behalf to boot!), coupled with a modern desire to engage in culture wars and internet virtue signalling. This has certainly not lead to rational and healthy discourse.
- Marazan 3y agoSo what you're saying is that he didn't take being corrected well and was easily annoyed. Literally costs him nothing to adopt the culture of the Discord he wants to participate in yet still he was so easily annoyed he got banned.
- boxed 3y agoSome points: 1. he wasn't "corrected", he was attacked 2. even if he was "corrected" that makes no sense since the dictionary literally agrees with him He was attacked for being a male that knew he was male. That was the attack. Quite absurd.
