Do you walk around with a sign displaying all your so called “trigger warnings”? Pull your socks up big guy

You keep editing to add more bs. Where did you pull "you don't have the right to intentionally trigger people" when the person you're arguing against even said "just because you have certain sensitivities doesn't mean someone's trying to trigger you"?
Unhinged behaviour.
You keep talking about respect and how easy it is to not be a jerk while making wild accusations and acting out of line, yourself.
'Not being an asshole' is BS?
The phrase used was "offense is taken, not given" which is used to absolve oneself of responsibility. "I can say whatever the hell I want and it's your fault if it offends you". It's victim blaming. That means intentionally offending people, however they decided to excuse it afterwards.
If that's not what was meant, maybe try using your words more carefully so that they convey what you mean? See? How words mean things?
That's fine. You don't need to give any additional effort to dealing with other peoples problems. But it's easy enough to be conscious of them so that you don't cause them to begin with.
In the current climate where people are taking exception to basic measures such as avoiding known slurs and triggers, majority exceptionalism "I've never had a problem so why should I bother to educate myself? Other people should deal with my ignorance", sometimes it needs to be said.
Are you assuming everyone knows what triggers you though? People get triggered by the word moist. Doesn't mean I'll stop using it.
The issue nowadays from my point of view is people get all up in arms about "muh feelings". You can just say what triggers you without the expectation from the other person. If the person cares/respects you they will listen.
Let people make their own decisions, no need for this stupid follow up.
As a straight White unvaccinated Christian, don't worry, I'm an extremist with borderline too high testosterone. And I agree with you.
