Is Lemmy getting more conservative? Now you think offending people is bad?
Sorry you get an F in reading comprehension. Or are you actually masterfully trolling by posting something deliberatlely offensive.
If you’re offended by something then it means your ideas are challenged which left wingers like/support
If someone just calls you a name then left wingers don’t care. We might form an opinion of the person based on it but we don’t find it offensive
There is a difference between stating your thoughts/opinions then people being offended vs saying something that you know is offensive (which the headline indicates is the case) then people being offended. The former may challenge beliefs, while the latter likely lacks that line of thought. You may be mischaracterizing all instances of offense as challenging ideas when some may just be hurtful for the sake of being hurtful.
I’m not sure why you think *all *left-wing people don’t care about being called names, or why that would be a trait of left-wing people specifically. It just seems like an overly generalized statement about a group based on your personal experience.
If I tell you to fuck yourself with a rake, which ideas am I challenging?
Sometimes people say shit that’s just awful. There’s not some grand philosophical debate to be had. They’re acting badly and being called out on it. Don’t treat a blanket term for their miserable behavior into a fnord you’ll automatically judge as positive and one-sided.
Is the name of that man Lemmy?
“Just don’t look at it if you don’t like it,” shrugged Simon…
One of Simon’s friends, Jay Cooper, said, “I saw the thing before I knew not to look. If I’d known it was there, I wouldn’t have looked. But then I’d have still known he’d done it, which is the real issue here, if you follow me.
I really like this. Suprisingly salient
Just like trigger warnings aren’t effective and actually make things worse…
Trigger warnings aren’t effective for everyone and can sometimes make things worse is what you mean

Conclusion Existing research on content warnings, content notes, and trigger warnings suggests that they are fruitless, although they do reliably induce a period of uncomfortable anticipation. Although many questions warrant further investigation, trigger warnings should not be used as a mental-health tool.
“If you don’t like it, then don’t look.”, said same demograph that can’t stop obsessing over Disney being “woke”.
