Yeesh. Being in EMS I know quite a bit of Police Officers. Our department in our area is extremely diverse. A lesbian is the spokesperson and one of the head detectives for our department. There is a trans officer that I know of, and as far as race goes it's a melting pot. Dont get me wrong, there are definitely officers that are bad and cause issues that are highlighted, but to say all cops are bastards... well, that's just complete ignorance.

I'm just leaving a comment here to caution people against believing that Youtube videos represent the real world.
(ignoring the content of Mika's video- this is a general thing I'd like to caution people about.)

It's very easy to find youtube videos that would lead you to believe most people living the US are idiots for example:

Spoiler

Of course real Americans aren't a bunch of idiots. This youtuber just didn't include all of the Americans they interviewed who gave the correct answer. Simple.

Unfortunately some people watch things like this and then conclude that everybody else in the world is an idiot except for them. S:

I'm just leaving a comment here to caution people against believing that mainstream news represents pure truth...

There allot of worse shit out there but it's pathetic how either walking around in a fursuit and enjoying making cute art is very wrong for stupid reasons.

Yeah I don't get it either. It's natural to be afraid of things we don't understand but in regards to the fandom and social norms I think it's more to do with this warped perception of masculinity and acceptance. The male demographic get absolute shit for partaking in something so dainty, so soft, that there seems to be this real fear by the general populous that it'll somehow drag down the gene pool, or something along those lines.

People get angry over the existence of vegans and vegetarians, just them existing and not eating meat.

That user's Twitter page is a goldmine of insanity.

Apparently veganism is "racist" now, according to "activists" on Twitter. We get that they don't give a shit about animals. Why don't they just come out and say it?

I've had relatives get offended that I am eating meat in their presence before

People complaining how things like Baby It's Cold Out being misogynistic and yet say nothing about rap music that sings about bitches and hoes and being pimps while portraying half naked women grinding on a guy in their music videos.

A (several) friends of mine got upset I ignored his call on discord. I am not legally obligated to accept calls on discord, especially without prior warning.
I'm still training him like a puppy not to do that, same with anyone else who tries to do that in groups, stop getting upset if I don't join.

I don't get how people get upset if I ignore their voice calls on discord when there was no prior request to do a voice call... Just because I am online doesn't mean I want to voice chat you, and chances are I'm most likely talking to other people...

A guy I used to hang out with once got offended because I bought myself a chips with salt.

That's the dumbest thing I have experienced personally.

Not mention how psychotic they are in there hate too. There nothing sane if they can't handle being told wrong or that its only a very small minority.

More non-furs were crying over kero than any furry was. I have no idea why they shove there views, When there toxic attitude is killing there own community. Because no one gonna listen to a judgemental group that refuse sort out there own issues before giving out advice.

Welcome to the human race I'd say... sometimes people are just stressed on a particular day and need to vent out; and other times - just passionate about a particular topic (or a certain belief system); and as such - they articulate that passionately with others.

It's when it starts to go over the line though, and starts to make someone else uneasy - is when it's usually time to walk away.

It's flaw i noticed with audio based groups. It's a ignorant opinion that mutated into fact over the years. Fantastic full range BA drivers are a thing, The ER4SR sounds better than majority of the competition. Seems it stemmed from people who either never got a good fit, ignored its a really netural sound or never tried any EQ.

The Subreddit I'm ranting about is horrid for it. Got -2 for pointing out there overhyped reviewer fanboying/bias over Dynamic drivers over BA based stuff. I disagree hard that a pure BA set up can't have good bass or is limited, The ER4 is shockingly punchy with a bass boost.

The dumbest thing I think people get offended over is actually whatever publicity stunt peta's up to at the time.

But I kinda feel people enjoy getting in a huff about peta, because sometimes people enjoy feeling angry and superior.
So maybe this is actually a form of entertainment for them, and they'd miss it if it went away. x3

People can complain and talk about whatever they want to, this is the fallacy of relative privation.

I'm also under the impression that this 'Age of Outrage' is really only coming from such a small percentage of the population, but for some reason its prevalence is being portrayed as being larger. Maybe it's just because I'm kind of closed off and work with and are friends with people that are very like minded. I think that most people that see something that would be classified as offensive, just shake their head and move along. But again, I could be wrong. Just a thought

It would be great to see some kind of coordinated effort against them online (that *isn't* coming from the Far Right), but now probably isn't the best time given the political situation.

There are Native American people who are uncomfortable with terms like this being used outside of their original context, and I feel like it's reasonable to respect that in the simple interest of avoiding being an asshole towards people when you could easily not.
I think "Lauren Hunchar" here didn't put things very well, and tried to sound overly authoritative/prescriptive when it doesn't appear to be her own culture under discussion, but the basic premise is sound IMO.

Here’s a less political one!

Storytime: I work at a small Starbucks inside a Target. We used to have a tip jar like any other Starbucks. Little did we know that a salt-deficient cow working in the clothing department would get offended that we got tips and she didn’t. She complained to management and bam! No more tip jar.

Like, excuse me Karen! You’re not the one making drinks to order! It was actually a customer that wanted us to have a tip jar in the first place because Target’s policies are weird about it.

The person behind this thread has a history of saying and doing things to purposefully troll people. Often to the point of constituting sadistic behavior. The best thing you can do is ignore their posts.

Funny thing is, it was a very progressive song at the time. And the girl clearly wanted to stay, but had to put in some resistance or she would have been considered a slut, because that's how things were at the time. Actually the song was offensive for a completely opposite reason at first: the woman was showing that she wanted to stay and that she was sexually attracted to the guy, how shocking!

I'm starting to think that many of these feminists and SJW's are just pathological contrarians who get off to making society bend to their will.

I really like this insult, thanks for bringing this to my life

Difficulty in videogames - mainly various "assist modes", easy modes in challenging games, optional helping tools, etc.

There was a huge uproar around rumors of Dark Souls 3 getting an "easy mode", with hardcore fans making a mess over how it's "not close to the spirit of the franchise" and how it'll ruin the game, etc. But thing is, not only most of the time said features are entirely optional, but they also act as a bridge towards less involved and capable players - if anything, I'm all in for more people getting into wonderful lore of Dark Souls or enjoying the music and visuals of Cuphead, and for me, "They'll skip on some fun of challenge" definitely beats "They will never play the game because it's too hard". It just feels to me that challenge gatekeepers care less about spreading the games they love and admire, and more about their sense of superiority for beating said games, and that's kinda sad.
