Something that actually just occurred to me.

Why, if a SJW feels offended by my shirt or nail polish or choice of music or laughter or opinion or comment or skincare product, unless I'm far away or inaccessible, can they not come to me, FB me, call or text me, write me a letter, to inform me what I've done that has offended them and why this thing that doesn't offend millions of others and seems inoffensive as milk, offends and hurts them to this large degree that it does, and ask me not to do it around them or their collective group that shares this offense?

Cause honestly if somebody did that and explained it to me and was nice ID actually make it a point not to do that around them.

Why does it seem like their SOP is to accuse loudly and publically by labeling the offender as some type of bigot, and then either ask in a tone and volume and accompanying heckling group that it's really a demand and they are just being "nice" by asking, or they just actually demand it and sometimes gang up on the surprised wrongthinker or present him with a petition demanding he stop being whatever ist and showing it by doing whatever is up their butt at the moment ?

While it is kind of entertaining to YouTube watch the deer In the headlights look of someone who is just informed that the work boots he's wearing are offensive to the unemployed, or some such, it really just seems to make anybody who isn't paid a salary for a job that includes catering to this stuff, annoyed at them and maybe eventually kind of pissed. That reaction probably occurs in those salaried bunch too but they don't show it.

So, to the SJWs here, when its not something obviously done to be a dick, why not just handle it like that?

I had an experience today in line at the grocery store. The oriental girl behind's dumplings fell over the belt divider and mixed with my groceries. The clerk asked if they were mine and I said no and indicated they were the girl's. She said she should have known that. At first I thought she meant because it was Asian food and the girl was Asian. But the clerk didn't mean that. She then said, makes sense that all the dumplings belong to the same order.
Anyway I thought this is a good example of something that could be interpreted as racist, but isn't.


I think one has to have a mindset of racism to see it. It didn't even occur to me that the example you talked about was even the slightest bit racist. Do Asian girls love dumplings or something?

These were the Oriental dumplings. They have an Oriental label on the package.

But having said that, I guess it could be interpreted as racist if the clerk were making a generalization about the eating habits of Asians. But then why would it be racist to assume an Asian person would like oriental food?

Notice the very consistent straw men:

Anti SJW: "I'm tired of people going out of their way to be offended by things that require effort to take offense at".

SJW: "Who wouldn't be offended by racism and people in blackface!"

Anti SJW: "Who said anything about blackface? I was talking about people being offended because someone said they like meritocracy.

SJW: "Why are you okay with blackface? You're probably a Nazi, or maybe in the KKK..."

It's startlingly similar, almost as if they're all working off the same playbook...


^ This.

It's two sides of the same dumb coin.

I'm tired of the perpetually offended, and I'm equally sick of the crowd that lives to be "offended" by their offense.


Im not offended by them at all, even though they always label negative emotion that way IN MY EXPERIENCE. Im just annoyed by people making a big deal out of nothing and then bowing up and throwing a temper fit until everybody either gives in out of sheer exhaustion, shuts up and apologizes immediately so people don't think they are whatever ist they have just been loudly and publically accused of being, or until they get enough people watching and tweeting their current victimization by the accused defending himself that they have enough proof and witnesses to temporarily satisfy their need to show the world how terrible *those people* are to them, and reinforce their own self image of the poor abused and mistreated soul who JUST WANTS PEOPLE TO NOT OFFEND OTHERS!

DISCLAIMER The above is only my opinion. I'm not bullying you, nor your group nor even Auburn fans.

Roll Tide


Oh, I agree.

I've just seen too much "offended for the sake of being offended" by BOTH sides.

Obviously, YMMV.

why can you not do it yourself via critical thinking? (serious question)

I think that's your list:
don't be a jerk
On either side.

Pointing that out means you're a self-hating white person and thus not to be trusted because something something race traitor something insult something something.

e: the above was a joke, don't take it seriously.

We should find better things to do with our time than being offended all the time.

You have people who are idiots (usually they are less idiotic when they are off the Internet and in Real Life--the Internet really brings out the Idiot in many people). Just ignore them.

It was a joke, I posted something similar on page 2 and got this response:

ok.
1) think before you speak
2) don't be an as*hole
3) see #1

How about we just ignore self-hating white ninny "liberals"(they're complete opposite of liberal) and move on with our lives?

I wouldn't mind it, actually. Especially if it's pretty near the Staten Island Ferry.

I could take the Ferry--about 20 minutes from Staten Island to Manhattan, then walk about 15 minutes to work.

There are some really nice parts of Staten Island.

One always laments over what one does not have.

I wish I lived in your area--so I could take long walks, and not see anybody.
