Offenses

[salinea]

Today I learned of the acronym : "FO, DO" which is used to mean "if you Feel Offended? then you Deserve Offense".

Now I want to kill someone.

I'm going to assume that when it was forged, it was more for specific cases. You give a good example, but since the case I've just seen it used is when someone was thinking that using the word "Wrench Wench" as a trope title is offensive... well you can discuss it, it's not clear cut, but saying that finding this sexist means you deserve offence is way out of bound.

Oh yeah, I completely agree. That's a grossly inappropriate response, one which I, personally, find way more offensive that "Wrench Wench" itself.

Yeah.

I often find people's answer when called on anything being offensive way more offensive than whatever they said initially in general. People need to learn how to react graciously about that stuff, it's not that difficult.
