- hprotagonist 8y agoi’m offended we didn’t even get to discover this level of offendedness ourselves! That’s ageism!
- effingwewt 8y agoI don't remember to whom it was attributed, but this always reminds me of the quote 'offense is taken, not given'. This is weird, things have flipped. I moved from California to Texas recently and TX now feels more liberal than CA, in that here different opinions feel more respected, as does personal choice, etc. CA felt like it had become fascist, too easy to be jumped on for wrongthink. ESPECIALLY in the educational system. I swear growing up it was the opposite. I was kicked out of school until I cut my hair, my gay friends were genuinely oppressed and harassed, I was fired for getting my ears pierced, I received $250 tickets regularly for skateboarding and rollerblading inside the city limits,TX was terrible growing up in the 80s-90s. Now it's much more chill and you couldn't pay me enough to move back to California. Weird rant I know, just saying this stuff is weird and has far and deep reaching effects. /rant.
