The "Im offended/outraged" culture these days

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

In which case the OP is outrageous.

In the overall scale of much ado about absolutely fuck all, I have to say I am apopleptic

 

[Machiavelli]

I have a simple rule, I will say what the fuck I want to say and if anyone doesnt like it then they can fuck off.....I apply the same rule for myself when it comes to other people saying what they want.....if I dont like it I can always fuck off and not listen.

You can't park where you want though. ;-0

Tom Hiddleston has had to write a long apology on Facebook apologising for his Golden Globes acceptance speech after causing "outrage". This is what he said that caused offence...

"One night... a group of doctors and nurses wanted to say hello... because they had binge-watched The Night Manager," he continued.
"The idea that we could provide some relief and entertainment for the people who... are fixing the world in the places it is broken made me immensely proud.""

What is going on these days, why do people seem to be in a rush to get offended? Its madness.
I can see absolutely nothing wrong in what he said there but apparently the offensive bit is about them "binge watching" his show. Whenever anything happens its like a challenge to see who can be the most offended, offense seems to now equal morals.

Thank god he didn't use the word swarm, would have ruined his career

As in: "Swarm innit?" - "Yeah, but it'll be cooler tomorrow."

Look hard enough and you'll see a long moustached man. Should I be offended by it?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

At work, I have to attend a yearly Equality and Diversity course to ensure that I understand how my actions and comment may offend others. One of the instructors listed a number of words which we may find offensive, on an increasing scale of strength (b**ch, p**f, w**ker, etc). When he got to the sharper end of the scale, he asked who would be offended by the word c**t. When I said no, one our management staff was genuinely offended that I said that I wasn't offended. C**T!

Can't even call racist thickos racist thickos anymore without them filling the internet with their butthurt

Goes hand in hand with the extremely overused word of the decade....Deeply

This.
He got mocked for apparently telling everyone how great it was to be him.

Now that's a whole other can of worms the armchair citics/twitter-WUMS desperate to start memes. It's the chicken and egg argument: Which came first the little delicate snowflakes competing to be the most offended by the most insignificant bollocks just so they can tell themselves they are better than everyone else for having their over the top moral codes or the attention seeking WUMS desperate for fame/recognition/cred to feed their overinflated egos and sense of being cooler/better than everyone else... world's gone mad I tell you, reason? Boredom.
