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.

Slurs? So we are to presume you only get up in arms about slurs which in general are frowned upon? No one is using slurs and getting away with it. Way to stretch. But you are responsible for what your own sensitivities are. No one else. You’re being pussilanimous trying to control others for your own issues. You want sensorship when what you really need is a therapist

A: "this community is full of soy"

B: "Let's be kind to each other"

A: "omg, stop taking offense at everything"

Just saying, this is what I missed about HW

Sure, I just do it when I get reminded that points I am now saying have already been said years ago. Honestly the game and the community are so stale I seriously cannot come up with anything new now.

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?

Also lol, now that I'm reading the replies... The original point was about people joking around and saying shit like "lmao did you really use LB as he jumped? go back to hall of the novice" "bro shut up you literally used tank lb3 3 seconds early three times in a row lmao"

Still happens in statics but never happens in DF now lol. There is a sort of male camaraderie that you just don't see in public nowadays. It was pretty common in HW.

Short answer: Yes.

definitely

... I legit had to tell them that I made the joke because I take medication for seizures and I was pointing out the obvious drawback to this cutscene.
