First off, I'm the type of person that feels bad when I upset people.
Even if I didn't mean to or they're just an asshole trying to start shit.
However, it's gotten to the point where people get offended by every little thing.

There's some things I find serious that I joke about.
I like to laugh and make people laugh instead of being angry and sad.
I do it with good intentions, but I do make people angry.
And I've come to the point where I care less and less about offending people, when it wasn't my intention.
So basically "Get over it".

So many people go looking to be offended.
No matter what the intention was, they seem to think it's made to offend certain people.

Like the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. Robin Williams dresses as a female nanny to stay close to his kids because he loves them.
Well, apparently some people got offended by it because it was offensive to transgender people and such.
Which WASN'T THE POINT.
They just pulled that out of their asses and got offended by it.

I also commented on a video that was about Creepypasta.
I said that it didn't exist when I was a kid and I had to read books and put a silly emote.
Well, someone took it as me saying that I'm superior to others because I read books and didn't use technology and how I would have used it if I had it back then.
I didn't say ANY OF THAT. They pulled it out of their ass and got offended by it.

I also make jokes about things I've experienced or someone close to me has experienced.
I think I earn the right to make jokes about it.
I can laugh about it, and I will and try to make the subject matter lighter for others.
I pissed people off again.

I basically am tired of people being overly sensitive.
If something is made or said that wasn't intending to offend, and you get offended, I think the problem is probably you.

How do you guys feel?

I do agree with you about people being too sensitive these days, and I just wanna tell everyone to grow thicker skin, but that really wouldn't help since people would take offense to that as well, and I'm pretty sure people would beat me up. I do try not to get involved with fights and conflict (because I know I'll get beaten up), and I try not to offend anyone... I don't think I've actually offended anyone before, but still... I've seen videos of a bunch of people being offended, and it makes me worry a little.

I've always been a sensitive person and was always told to grow a thicker skin.
I always thought "Why should I change while others get to continue to be assholes?"
I'm still sensitive and I know how it feels to have your feelings hurt, so I try not to do it to others.
But it's getting ridiculous xD

I feel more like "I know they're hurtful, but just ignore them."
I also have confronted people online and they turned out to be nice people.
I guess they take advantage of the anonymity of the internet.

I see. I think I may be a little sensitive too since I almost cried when I heard my sister tell my mom people made fun of me when they saw a picture of me crying when we were at my aunt's house for Easter. I didn't hear them making fun, so I don't know what they said. I'm not going to complain about it, though.

I see. Yeah, that's true, for sure. Oh! There was one time where I said something hurtful on purpose, but after thinking about it, I felt bad.

A site owner sold the site to another site, and I said I wanted to go to the con and have everyone sing the exile song from The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride when the guy who sold the site entered the place. I felt bad because he is a human, and he has feelings too. He claims to suffer from depression too, and the thought of him committing suicide because of us made me feel bad, so I decided it wouldn't be worth singing the song to him, especially since he suffers from depression. I do feel bad for him. It was bad enough a lot of the users were furious at him because of the selling of the site.

Have you said something out of anger before and felt bad?

It depends on what the subject matter is. Things like racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, aphobia, and stuff like that? It's not that people are more sensitive. It's that we're (Collective We) sick of people being jerks, and are fighting back to make the world kinder and better off overall.

If someone's being an ass and giving you shit about your appearance, your beliefs, etc? That's them being an ass, and you are well within your rights to tell them to fuck off.

If someone is calling someone else out for one of the aforementioned reasons? It's not them being "too sensitive" or "politically correct". It's them calling out an asshole for being an asshole, and that should be encouraged.

Boris_Boris: I always say things when I'm angry, that I later apologize for.
I actually think of the must hurtful thing I can, to make them hurt like they made me.
But I do feel terrible.

AutobotDen: Yes, it's perfectly fine to retaliate against idiocy. The big issue is when people get offended by things that didn't exist? They will literally pull it out of nowhere and get angry at it. Like I mentioned about the comment I made on Youtube. I said I had to read books, which I hated. I didn't say anything the person got pissed off at xD
Or if someone says "I don't like that movie." and someone gets pissed and cusses them out.

I don't usually do something like that, and the time I was mad... I had no right because I'm not even... well, not part of the community that the site is for. I do get mad, though. The other day, I threw away some screen because I was mad at my mom... actually, I have said I hated people when I was angry.

My mom's side of the family, on my grandpa's side mostly - we have horrible tempers.
We even say "The family temper".
Explosive anger and such.
So I guess I picked it up because they explode then apologize later. Which is exactly what I do.
I tend to not think when I get angry. I just want to hurt them the way they hurt me.
Then I cool off and realize I was an asshole and apologize.
Even if I had the right to get angry xD

This one time my mom's boyfriend pissed me off and I yelled at him and tried to leave.
My mom grabbed my arm and I jerked away so hard that I slammed my hand against the door frame.
I hit the frame really hard, but I didn't even flinch because I was so angry.
She also slapped me one time and I immediately slapped her back.

I do seem to take after my dad's side too. I'm usually calm and easygoing.
But if something pisses me off, I'll go zero to hundred xD
Then I'll be calm and easygoing again in five minutes.

I actually don't like arguing and fighting.
I have seen family argue and fight since I was little.
I don't like it at all.
So I want everyone to get along or at least not argue and fight.

I've said "I hate you! I hope you die!" to my dad. Now I feel bad.
I say "I hate people" when someone pisses me off. It's not true. Just angry.
People do and say things when they're angry. Doesn't always mean what they say is true.
I know people say that when people are drunk and angry, they show their true colors. It's not always true.
Like...I can say "And your cookies taste like shit >8u!"
I know it's a weak point, so I attack it just to hurt them.
But I do LOVE the cookies.

I just offended a bunch of people on another site with how I phrased something, but I didn't mean to. SHould I have phrased it differently? Yes, but it's too late. A bunch of people saw it already, so I'm just goig to give it a few months before going back.

I saw u8

Do you mind sharing what you said that pissed everyone off?
