What happened to people being decent human beings and taking responsibility for offending someone and apologizing. When did it become a bad thing to put a disclaimer out there before you say a racist or sexist or any phobia related joke at LEAST. If you HAVE to make jokes like that, make sure to let me know that you're KIDDING instead of acting like I'm a stupid snowflake sjw or whatever else you idiots use as insults these days when I say "hey, that's not an okay thing to say" and then be like "oh someone's triggered" or "sjw alert, don't get so easily offended and grow some ovaries" You getting offended and defensive when I get offended and defensive over the things that MATTER TO ME AND THAT I CARE ABOUT.
You literally get angry when someone has a viewpoint other than your own! And yes, that can be said for any side of any argument because there's always that one idiot that makes everyone else lump communities with actually good intentions all together in one group and put negative (or what is perceived in their communities as negative) labels on us and assume things about us just from ONE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU HAD OR HEARD ABOUT FROM SOMEONE ELSE!
And depending on your experience, it can be biased on one side or another and feel like you're being attacked by those who disagree with you. I know how this feels. But if you "don't care about what others think" then why even pay attention to the media and ignorant comments on your videos or posts or whatever. PICK YOUR BATTLES!
Sometimes It's hard to tell when someone's joking or "joking but really trying to spread lies or misinformation or push my extremist agenda on you" Again, this can be applied to any side of any argument.
ALSO YES I KNOW I NEED TO TAKE MY OWN ADVICE AND I'M WORKING ON THAT SO SHOVE IT! Don't EVEN start with telling me what I need to do and mind your own business. I know what I need to do and I'm getting it done.
If you get offended by me being offended, then let's work out a compromise, don't start labeling me and making me feel like shit for having a different opinion than yours. Or make fun of me just because you think that I'm easy to make fun of.
So, if you wish to discuss something with me, and are willing to be peaceful and respect my beliefs, then I will accept yours and not get hostile or angry with you. If you feel like I am, or if you feel like I'm offending you in an actually serious way. Like ALL JOKING ASIDE, tell me and I will apologize and not do that thing that bothers you. I'll be as considerate to you as you are to me.
But the minute you start insulting me and putting negative labels on me because of my beliefs, we're gonna have a SERIOUS PROBLEM. I want to see from EVERYONE'S PERSPECTIVE! Because if I do, I'll end up being more educated on the matter. The only way to defeat the ignorance and bias that we all have is to educate ourselves and see from everyone's perspective. Otherwise, we'll never get anywhere and spend the rest of our lives fighting on the internet. We have to end this madness. And the fight to end it, begins with us.
