Announcing "I'm offended" is basically telling the world you can't control your own emotions, so everyone should do it for you.

I agree that it's pretty stupid to be "offended" at innocuous things and promote censorship. However, it's just as bad to be openly disrespectful and discriminatory and expect other people to be okay with it because "stop being such a snowflake SJW smh." Let's all be reasonable people on some middle ground. And this isn't even really a meme, or if it is it's a shitty one. This is just a blatant political / social opinion pasted over an image...

I agree. Just because it's not illegal to be an asstroll doesn't mean you should do it.

I still think it's a funny meme, admittedly from an extremist view, so I posted it.

If there are funny ones about asstrolls I'll post those too.

Also, you seem like a pretty reasonable person. I'm sorry if I came off as rude earlier :)
