  • Cuss words offend me?  - Why? They are just letters, the only meaning they have are assigned by you.
  • Hate Speech Offends me? - Why?  Isn't a person's hate about them, not you?
  • I don't like aggressive communicators - Why? Do someone else's emotions really impact you?
  • Threats are bad?  - Are they?  Many people make threats every day, very few carry them out.  Thinking of a crime and doing one are two different things.  Unless you work for the pre-crime division
  • I don't want to see _____ (fill in the blank, advertisements, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theories)  Why?  Do you want to control knowledge and ideas?
  • Someone might be offended...


SO WHAT?

Seriously, so what?  I really want to know, what happens if someone is offended?

        More than letters/words as you can see they cause emotion by how you choose to use those so-called "bad words". Everyone is raised differently so, obviously you can offend someone ;)
