Top 10 Things People Most Need to Stop Getting Offended Over
It's the 2020s yet idiots around the world still get all worked up or triggered by silly things. These are the things people most need to be able to let slide.I have had some people call me pretty nasty names because I disagreed with them. Many times I wasn't even attacking them.
Why do they need everyone to have the same opinion as them? It is okay to question why someone may have a certain opinion, but not attack them when they are not attacking you.
I respect opinions unless someone says that Twilight is the best book series and movie in the world when it really sucks.
I prefer to watch To Kill a Mockingbird and My Little Pony.
TheTopTens is full of biased opinions. If you like pop music, Sword Art Online, Serena from Pokémon, or Frozen, you're not gonna have a good time.
Unneeded criticism is different than constructive criticism. Constructive is good.
If you are wrong, it's not my fault. I'm showing you the problem and you get mad at me for it?
It helps you to improve, as long as it's constructive.
As long as the facts are not pulled out of someone's butt to invalidate you or if it's just plain wrong, there is nothing wrong with the truth.
That even includes horrible things that are unfortunately facts, so you shouldn't even get offended over it.
Yes and no. Many people like to misconstrue "facts" to fit their agenda or throw out facts that have no relevance to the conversation. This only goes to show that person's ignorance of the subject.
People have different types of senses of humor, which depend on what type of jokes the audience would enjoy laughing at.
People may think that it's really funny or severely offensive, which would unleash controversy.
I get it if you went through a tough time and I just went to your video on that subject and I made a joke about it.
But when you get mad when I tell a dark joke in an area where it is more encouraged, you need to get the hell off.
It depends on the jokes because there's a fine line between what's funny and what's disrespectful!
Grammar Nazis can be annoying, but they're only trying to correct grammatical mistakes.
So if you hate these people, then improve your grammar and spelling.
If you get offended by people correcting your grammar, then I have no respect for you. Grammar Nazis are good.
Don't spell like a 5-year-old and you won't have to worry about someone correcting you. Sound like a plan?
It depends on the context. If it's connected to school (cyberbullying), then it can snowball into a larger issue which turns into bullying. But if someone's being toxic on the internet in general, then that's easy to ignore.
Unless it's from someone personal whose actions have the threat of transcending into something bad outside of the screen.
One thing that needs to be taken into account is the difference between being offended and just wanting to correct false statements. These two get confused easily and are treated as the same thing. False information is harmful (antivaxxers are the big example that comes to mind).
I don't understand how people can get mad over it, but I am disgusted by it. It's by far one of the things I hate the most, and I never talk about it.
People always tell me that I should feel ashamed for being disgusted by it, and it really gets to me. Like, learn to handle an opinion.
I don't want to have sex or ever do anything associated with it. The reason I'm so repulsed by people talking about sex and hearing many sex jokes is because I know that if humans and many other animals don't do it to reproduce, we and those other animals would become extinct.
I hate it, but I don't hate other people that do it (within reason).
I'm bisexual! I like boys and girls equally and am happy to date either.
Why would people get offended by someone liking someone else? That's like your best friend liking someone of the opposite gender and you getting offended.
Just let people date whoever they want! Love is love!
This is the biggest one for me. I cannot stand homophobic people at all. At least with some of the others, I can still have good relations overall with them.
But people who continuously whine over certain harmless civil rights are despicable.
Are you saying there is something wrong with your kid because they have autism? I have news for you: there isn't.
I have autism and I love it! Autism is a gift, not a curse.
What? Autism is offensive to offended people?! I have a brother with special needs!
Curing autism is impossible since autism is genetic.
Imagine still getting offended by Bieber in 2019. He's pretty irrelevant as of now.
They are just doing it for entertainment. How are they worse than criminals?
The Newcomers
Give them a break. They just want to have fun!
People treat conservatives like crap just because they don't share the same opinion. God, liberals are annoying.
I hate when people treat conservatives like zoo animals just because they have a different opinion. (And vice versa - conservatives can do the same thing to liberals.)
I don't really care when people say swear words, but I remember in 2nd grade this kid told me to say duck except change the d with an f. Back then I thought idiot was a swear word, so I had never actually heard of the f-word, so I said it.
I remember when that kid told me I cursed, and I was so scared that somebody would tell the teacher.
I honestly don't see why people consider some non-slur swears. There is no reason why they should be offensive if they aren't of a derogatory nature.
They are just words people use when really angry or really excited. Not something worth getting upset over.
Just be respectful. That's all different religions need to do to coexist. Whether you're a Hindu, Christian, Muslim, or even an atheist, just be respectful towards other people and what they choose to believe.
There's no need to get offended over somebody else's beliefs, and there's no valid reason why we can't all live together peacefully.
I cringe every time at the idea of hearing the word "damn," discussion of someone else's supernatural powers, something against their religious laws, or another religion.
They get offended so easily sometimes. Not to diss religious people, but there are some bad ones out there.
Boomers are real people with a different perspective than you. They've lived longer and are wiser than you.
Yeah, they may not understand modern stuff sometimes, but they need to be respected for the source of wisdom they are, not a stuck-up snobby old guy.
Or maybe someone was just a child in the 90s. They don't act like that.
Yes, people do use it wrong sometimes, but this seriously means this gets too much attention, not that it's bad.
Overrated and bad are two different things.
Imagine being offended over a word that you clearly don't even know the definition of.
Some people need to accept facts. I'm also tired of some religious people saying science tries to harm their religion, which is not true for all sciences.
When science can't explain something, they automatically link it to religious belief, as if science hasn't already proved a ton in the past.
Imagine getting offended by science. An example of this is people who deny climate change, but those are just one of many.
You don't like what science says? Take it up with God because God invented science.
How is "they should just shut up and sing, they're musicians" any different than "they should just shut up and repair, they're plumbers"?
Since when did your career determine whether or not you're allowed to be political?
Like all those ultra-conservatives who were upset over artists like Rage Against the Machine, NWA, Public Enemy, The Beatles, etc.
They even get offended by different music genres like Heavy Metal, for example.
I love listening to these songs. It's unfortunate that some raging people are typing in the comments.
When you're a troll, you can go two ways.
The first type is the one that does stupid stuff like saying, "You must be like this," or making dumb jokes but can still give someone a good laugh. That's the type you shouldn't get offended over.
But then there's the second type, who takes it too far by doing stuff like wishing death, using stupid reasons, or doing crap just to get attention. That's the type worth being offended by.
So there are trolls worthy of being offended by, but not all are worth it.
Whenever someone burps, they are like, Um, that was so rude. Like what? It's just a noise coming out of your mouth - it's not rude!
Some people don't have a sense of humor.
How can you get offended over a fart?
Soldier 1: What's violence?
Soldier 2: I don't know, bro. Video games aren't invented yet.
Mix video games with opinions and you have an explosive combination!
Like those who claim video games cause school shootings.
I don't know what you mean by "modern music." But in my view, it is 2021 - present.
