Things That Annoy Me

Sensitivity

I know I haven't ranted in a while but I have to say this: People are so freaking sensitive nowadays! Everyone gets freaked out at the tiniest things and it builds up and up and up until POP! I rant. This, my friends, is a POP! moment.

Let's start with the things that led to this small scale explosion:

1. Nicole Arbour, a YouTube comedian, posts a video about an encounter with fat people she had. She does not name them or say when this was or aim to shame anybody but the SJWs of the Internet decide she is being offensive. I agree that some things she said could be considered fat shaming but the message was "Morbidly obese people, please take some responsibility for your fatness." and also "Government, stop helping people who need a kick up the bum be lazy." She did not set out to shame those who are fat but instead tell a funny anecdote. If she wanted to shame people then she would describe the 'fat family' in detail and aim her statements at particular people. THE INTERNET IS SENSITIVE!!!!

2. I saw an article online about a feminist lawyer/activist person who got a message off a lawyer that complimented her profile picture on a social media site. He said that it was a stunning picture and that it was the best profile picture he had ever seen and he looked forward to working with her in the future, not to mention he started his message off by saying "this is probably incredibly politically incorrect". As a woman in modern society I would have said 'thank you' and brushed him off as a weirdo. But of course this woman is an SJW so she posts this message to Twitter and (surprise, surprise) it sparks controversy. She called this man misogynistic but that is way too far. It is a man, being a man, and trying to win over a lady he is interested in, maybe only platonically. If she didn't like it she should have either ignored him or politely confronted him, not try to shame him all over Twitter. EVERYONE IS SO FREAKING SENSITIVE!!!

3. The fact than calling a person who has the condition dwarfism a dwarf is now socially incorrect; now you must call them 'small people' or something along those lines. WHAT? Soon the term 'small person' will become offensive so that means you cannot call a person that is small a 'small person' because it is offensive to those with dwarfism because they aren't as small. Soon you won't be able to call anyone anything because it offends someone. OH MY GOD! One day it might be considered offensive for a man to wear a red t-shirt because women menstruate and red is the colour of blood so it offends women because it makes fun of menstruation. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Labels aren't there to categorise and discriminate, they're there to make it easier to recognise different groups that have already been categorised.
Say you have a draw of red pens, a draw of yellow pens and a draw of pencils in an office. Some employees are coming and some people need different things from these draws. It would be so much easier to label them pens and pencils so people know what's in each draw. It is even more comprehensive if you label the yellow draw and the red draw separately so people can understand what they are.
Black people aren't called black people because white people wanted to make fun of them, it's because their skin is black and white people have white skin. It is not derogatory, it is a fact.

PEOPLE NEED TO STOP BEING OFFENDED AT EVERYTHING AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE IT'S TOO SHORT!!!!

Thank you.
