Costa offends their customers

[dereksidewinder]

Since when did being “offended” become such a big thing. It feels like this is the worse thing you can do to anyone these days. Worse than a punch to the face. What even is offended.. I don’t agree with you and I’m unhappy. Yes that’s life, people disagree on stuff, get over yourself.

I was at work the other day and a few people disagreed over an issue. Instead of it just being agree to disagree, someone pulls out the old “I’m offended” / I feel “victimised” and you can just feel the atmosphere change. Suddenly people fear a complaint or disciplinary procedure. It’s pure manipulation.

People have always been offended it isn't new, what's new is that when/if someone voices an opinion and then gets offended or irked there are rafts of people who then get triggered and offended by other people voicing an opinion.

They will even go on Twitter/Facebook/Daily Mail and even watch GB news to collate anger evidence :)

What are people offended at? It’s hard to keep track these days.

Just be offended at everything and that way you wont miss out. Works for me....

I'm not offended, nor am I particularly arsed

I don’t think I’ll ever understand the constant desire to be offended by everything.

Oh you must! It’s the new cool thing to do. Apparently.

What's also new (or at least new on such a wide scale) is the performative offence. People actively looking for things to be offended by, and sharing it with other people who think the same as them to show their own morality. It used to be largely the domain of religious people. Nowadays it's the domain of everyone from BTS fans to vegans to racists to people angry that Jamie Oliver put fish in a paella.
