I'm offended that you would even think to ask.
How fucking dare you?
:P not very. It often takes me a while to realise someone is saying something offensive to me. I are slow.
Slow drivers in the left lane, or worse, slow drivers hogging both lanes and me stuck behind them.
That makes me quite angry.
As for personal offense... Someone would have to insult me with a reason for me to be offended. Calling me a random insult results in a random insult reply, without much thought.
First I must consider the source of the offensive offender. If it's some ugly mouthed cretin on IIN, then no fucking way can I be bothered by whatever they say.
If it's someone I respect, then it may be constructive criticism.
But extreme ignorance and prejudice voiced within earshot can offend me, even if the comments aren't directed at me. I can react very violently if I feel someone is being extremely offensive to an inoffensive person.
I very rarely have a strong, negative emotional reaction to anything. If that's what it means to be offended, then I am definitely not offended easily. I have a high standard of morality, and recognise something that is wrong on an intellectual level. I just don't get the emotional reaction much.
I should make it clear that "intellectual level" doesn't mean "objective". As far as I can say, still subjective. Objective morality doesn't really exist.
But for me subjectively, it's something that either a) brings about more harm than good, or b) is done without the consent of the individual people it impacts on if consent could not reasonably be presumed. If it does one or both of those things, I say it's wrong.
I think it's important to remember that none of the individual people in danger are really giving their consent to anything. If you do nothing, the people who get squashed didn't give their consent to be squashed. If you divert the train, the one person who gets squashed didn't give their consent either. The principle of consent is violated equally no matter what I choose to do, so I might as well forget the issues of consent completely.
That means that hurting the fewest people possible is all that matters. So I would say divert the train. No question about it.
One does not simply offend me by being offensive, however, I easily offend. Simply.
I try my best not to get offended, especially by little things, especially things such as mean comments on the internet...but I tend to take things personally if it involves me.
I'm an emotional person tbh but it's who I am so oh wells.
Someone called me a dimwit once. I think that's the most offended I've been. Especially because I was trying to help them at the time.
I'm offended by those who can't say My first name properly. I don't like being called "Indian" I'm Native American( at least a part of Me that is!)
Nothing can offend me due to the fact that I never gave a fuck to even be offended.
Nope. I'm pretty good at building stuff. I can handcraft high quality letters out of wood that spell FUCK and give them to each one of the people I care about. If they attempted to make anything like that, it would come out terribly and I would never accept such a low quality fuck.
well your talking to a 20 year Lego veteran, so if you need some high quality Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene Fucks then I'm sure i could whip up one for you
People that are easily offended often do not have fully developed identities.
if i'm in an elevator and someone takes a shit in the corner i'm offended....wish i hadnt thought of that sorry to offend
Eh....I want to say no. I mean if you jokingly say something offensive at me I will ponder it to be honest. I mean even if it's a joke you state some truth in it. Still though, I know it's a joke. I want to say no because I always try to look at things from the other person's perspective and figure out why they're insulting me.
I'm laid back and chill. I don't take offense easily and I don't get angry at people easily.
Most people tend to think how I type displays some sort of offended state when I am far from it. The only times I tend to be offended is when someone is insanely ignorant and refuses to take information that can change their mind, then, of all things, attempts to offend me.
Most of the time I am pretty apathetic, though and don't think emotionally.
For the most part I don't get offended easily. Making fun even just in teasing about how short I am is pretty much the only one that really offends and upsets me.
