But it is seriously getting ridiculous when everything is a so-called 'trigger' to someone. You can't even make an innocent mistake online anymore because someone will instantly come at you for being racist/misogynist/fillintheblank or 'OMG TRIGGER WARNING!!!' or some other nonsense.

True, there are those extreme cases. Some may be too sensitive. Others might have misinterpreted the way we said it. And a few might be just looking for a fight, issue, or argument.

In my own experience...I think it's just someone looking for an excuse to fight.

However, if you are sprouting off racist/sexist/homophobic things online....then nah, sorry you don't get my sympathy there.

(Well, not you personally but in general)

Yeah, although where they'd get so much energy to start fights and already senseless debates is beyond me.
Lol definitely. Nobody would like to read such things. I tend to avoid such posts or react to it. I know it will do me more harm than good.

I think we have. I remember seeing a video on 50 ways to offend pokemon fans and they are such dumb reasons, "oh your calling me a genwunner so I'm going to curse you out or your saying that the best couple in the anime is ash and misty? I'm going to curse you out because that wrong!" Just stupid things like that doesn't make sense to me on how their "offensive" unless they are doing in a repetitive and irritating manner.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will leave horrible psychological scars that will need years of therapy to cure.

Or just grow a pair and shrug it off.

Sorry to quote all of you without intention to contribute more. But I really don't think I could possibly add more to this. My fucking thoughts exactly.

It's bad syntax. If its bothering you, edit your post and look for where PV's comment is. Switch the {/quote}{/blue} with {/blue}{/quote}.
