Do you believe people get too offended about everything?

Are people too sensitive nowadays? Is it possible to talk about anything without someone getting offended? Is it person's obligation to consider what every single other person might feel about his words?

If you think this all "offended" stuff has got out of hand, tell me why you think this has happened?

    idk, the only problem I see with this claim is if the person making it also gets offended by criticism directed at themselves. I've known so many people like that. They'll be like "lol why are you getting offended by me being a piece of shit?!" So I think okay maybe they just have an edgy sense of humor, but when i get them back they freak out like a bitch. Treat others as you wish to be treated, and all that.

  • I agree. One thing that’s so fucking annoying is when someone talks a lot of shit but can’t take it back because they are to sensitive. Starting shit they can’t take.. classic.

      That word "outrage" sucks.

      It used to be when something was "outrageous" back in the 80's, it meant extreme in a good way.

      Equally retarded though is when something happens like some black person got offended (again) they say "Social media was on fire".

    I don't see it much in daily life but it sure is all over the news. Seems like a media invention to me.

    Lots of people just seek to be offended. I can't call anyone 'dear' or 'you fat cripple' anymore. So much going on in the world and yet the p.c. brigade just focus on piddling little things.

    The snowflakes need to go feed some poor African nation instead of bitching about themselves.

  • The majority of people aren't so easily offended. They're probably more concerned with regular things, like family, money, keeping their jobs, ect.

    Like with politics, it's the loud minorities and snowflakes among us that are polarized and hyper-offended.

    That goes for both sides. I'm a Centrist largely because I despise censorship, which both sides want to push in their own forms.

    Just people trying to gain attention.

    It’s the media creating division and intolerance for other views. As part of my morning routine, I view the front “page” of both a conservative and a liberal news source. It’s just amazing how differently each chooses what to focus on and how to report about it.

      It's actually amazing how similar it is. If you compare the stories, and not the angles, they are all exactly the same. What's the odds, with and entire world going on, that every news outlet would all pick the same stories every single day??

        It’s almost like there’s a central control over what stories the main stream media covers. I do notice that some stories that are positive for conservatives, like Trump, are buried or not covered in liberal media, and vice versa.
