What Offends you?

[Fiddleford H. McGucket]

In all honesty, and without breaching the rules (The two are NOT in exclusivity), what act offends you moreso than most others?

Mine is the portrayal of All Men as slobbering sex-crazed idiots, and the idea that if one is not in that mindset there MUST be something wrong with that person. I'm not an efite (sp?) overly sensative guy by normal standards, but to basically be told that unless I'm some damn neanderthal that I'm some aberration and my opinion is somehow devalued upsets me greatly. The harder part of this is that the general male populace simply puts up with it when most other blanket negative portrayals are seen as a product of an unenlightened era and relegated to a fringe idea.

The term "trailer trash" or variations of such.

I realize the user doesn't always intend to lump me into a group with most of the cast of Cops but it is very irritating.

[Soultastic]

When people assume I follow Satan after I tell them I like metal. Hell, my best friend thought I did for a while. It really pissed me off.

[woodface]

Board nazis offend me.

[Kris Kobain]

When people state opnions as facts (in regards to my family and friends)
an example
a co-worker of mine was telling people that a certain manger (who I'm friends with) was sleeping with some of the girls who work the front desk. ( We also both work there)
1 is a good friend of mine and I was dating one at the time.
She basicly called all the front desk girls w***** in the process and made him look really bad.
She had no facts to base this claim off of but was telling people that it in fact was true.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Emo/Goth/Scene/Hippie/etc bashing is really, really stupid and the people who trash them obviously don't even know s*** about their lifestyle.

Whenever someone attempts to use dark humor... but forgets the "humor" part and ends up with a blatantly racist/mysoginistic/homophobic/otherwise needlessly offensive and ignorant comment. And what pisses me off even more is that of course, if we call them out on that and dare not find them hilarious or (God forbid!) we don't share their opinions, we're obviously butthurt oversensitive arrogant bigots who are trying to censor them and can't understand true comedy. I find it especially ironic that they're usually much more oversensitive, narrow-minded and easily offended than the average person. Dark humor IS hilarious, but being offensive doesn't automatically make you funny. And when you're not, well, I'm sorry but you're a dick.

And in a similar vein, I hate it when humorists make fun of a celebrity because of baseless rumors or wrongful accusation, not to mention many STILL do it when said accusations are proved wrong (Michael Jackson, anyone? Oh and Mel Gibson seems to be following the same path). Because a half-assed stand-up act is well worth ruining someone's reputation, right?


P.S.: I also find it funny (read: hypocritical) that many dark humorists are ironically the quickest to accuse other people of racism/sexism/homophobia because of highly insignificant details that could only be considered offensive with your head deeply shoved inside your ass.

Agreed. Agreed so, so much.

When people look at you as a freak just because you like things that the average person doesn't. Like when I tell people that I like wrestling, I'm automatically a redneck who doesn't know its fake. I haven't even had to nerve to tell my friends or family that the type of girls I like are those ones with some muscle on them(i.e. Serena Williams and Beth Phoenix).

[Yami Daimao]

Your face.

[General Adam]

Intolerant/Closed Minded towards others because they don't share your ideals or belief's.

[sunwukong]

Could not agree with you more man, I hate that stereotype of men as well as what you said that if you're not like that you're not normal. I also hate how men are always portrayed as downright idiots who can't function by themselves, drives me up the wall.

[slasher911]

When people put mayo on f***ing everything.

[Ultimo Chocula]

People who can't seem to grasp the idea of other people coexisting in the same space when out in public. You're in a store, walking down the street, whatever, move your ass and watch where you're going. Don't take up the entire sidewalk and move at a snail's pace. People are trying to get past you. Either move you hump or step aside, and don't act all snotty when someone says "excuse me". I can't tell you how many times a day I have to dodge some jackoff because they can't bother to watch where they're going when walking down the street or exiting a building.

Furthermore, if you're in line ahead of someone, that is not your personal time to be the center of attention. Make your transaction and move it. The cashier doesn't care, and neither do the people behind you. You're not special.

[Macho Dude Handy Damage]

Stupidity

[chazraps]

Footage of actual death.

People who lick plates.

Caucazoids who put on blackface for Halloween.

[Throwback]

Alot used to offend me. But then I realized I probably say and do things that offend others just by being myself. Strangely enough once I figured that out, not so much bugs me anymore.

I kind of live me life now on the basis of if I don't like something I just don't do it myself.

[Mattification]

Comedy wise, not much. Apart from crap jokes I suppose.

In general, people having no consideration for others rips m knitting like nothing else. Especially when it reaches extremes with dangerous drivers etc putting other's lives at risk so they can get their jollies. Not on.

[simplydurhamcalling]

Absolutely nothing. Some stuff angers me but I don't think it offends me.

[eagerbeaver]

I hate when people use scientific terms during regular conversations.
