Why are people so easily offended by everything these days?
Its like the best way to not get **** from anyone, you have to stay quiet even if what you're saying is good, someone will get offended.
Its like everyone wants to be victim.
For example, I was wearing a shirt that said "Love Wins" with a rainbow heart in the middle and someone walked up to me and started bitching because they got offended. Apparently, what I was wearing was "hateful". Then another day I saw a post about how rape is never okay. This post didn't specify a gender on the victims and the rapists because it was actually speaking for both genders who are victims and against both genders who are rapists. The page itself didn't specify a gender (there are gender specific pages - you know by the name) or had anything to do with feminism (Im probably gonna get **** from saying "feminism" because that word is also now offensive) or anything around that. Yet, people in the comments were beyond offended and crying about feminism and sexism. So I guess you have to be pro-rape or else you're a feminist. But, if you're pro-rape - you're an asshat.
Another example was this post about how wearing pink shirts won't stop bullying (even though pink symbolizes breast cancer survival) and how we should teach people how to stand up for themselves. What happened? A bunch of emo kids got offended.
Basically, everything these days in offensive in some way.
Just like how, a lot of you are gonna get offended by this question. No doubt about that.

How is it anyone's business what you wear? That's what gets me! That person should mind their on damn business! How rude?! But, hey, I get it. My dad died unexpectedly in late January. My one brother is the executor and was expected, among other things, to sell my dad's car, which was relatively new and top of the line. My brother, who's always been undependable and lazy, told us at the funeral reception that he'd sell it to that online place that will give you as low a price as you will take, which isn't fair to my dad because he always took good care of his cars. My brother would run his into the ground. So, he let the car sit in the driveway over the winter, ignoring it. I suggested first that his wife take it because her car is used and the oldest. Then I offered to take it off his hands. That's when I discovered we had to buy it. I wasn't going to do that. Well my other brother, disgusted that it was just sitting there, depreciating, said he'd buy it for his daughter. But no one said anything to me. This was in April. I asked about it a week ago, still thinking it was in the driveway, and it was all a big secret, the other one telling me he'd told me about it. All of them now are angry at me because all of them think I was demanding my money. All I wanted to do was find out if it was a surprise for my niece and how she reacted and wish her the best with it. In fact, I'm not even going to take my portion of the money from it--but of course the one brother wants his. You can't understand people--and these are supposed to be family.

Stupid people get offended easily, because it's hard for them too tell the difference between offensive and not.
You can't mention any sort of race without being called racist, you can't say anything about gay people without being called a homophobe, you you can say anything about women without being called sexist, etc.

we live in the age of feminism. 50 years ago, it was an age of masculinity where people had values and worked hard. Now everyone who cries victim gets anything they want. it's a terrible time to be a sane person. but the time of feminism has had its run. guys are starting to man up again.

Whatever the reason actually is I'm sure Obama and black people will be blamed for it.
