      I joined a dating service for Star Wars fans but it wasn't for me. My mistake was looking for love in Alderaan places

    It is a blatant reference to an obscenely woman-objectifying scene in an overall misogynic movie. Why do you support wife beaters and wife-beating?

    Reminds me of a few years back when I overheard a group of people talking about the Les Miserables movie and how terrible Russel Crowe's singing was. One of the group who has been sitting quietly suddenly burst out, "Can you please think about how insensitive you're all being? Russel Crowe's awful singing killed my grandfather."

    The weird thing about Lemmy is no matter how anodyne you think your post is, some people will downvote it. This post is a fine example

      I make jokes all the time, and I almost never offend anyone. Just don’t bully people and don’t say any hateful shit, it’s as easy as that.

        I was in a bar last week where i haven't been in 10 years. Some of the same people still hang around there. I talked to a guy i knew for a bit and then turned around again. Then i heard them talk about how it's crazy that they can't joke and even talk normally anymore without people getting mad and offened. I turned around again, and asked them what they are talking about. What can't you say anymore? They were pretty drunk and just mumbled: you know, normal stuff. Do you just mean racist shit? You think you can't do racist jokes anymore? They were like: can't even say faggot anymore. You just did, you can say whatever the fuck you want, you just have to accept that people think you are racist pricks.

          Also, these idiots always ignore context. Like, if gay dudes amongst each other say faggot jokingly that’s totally fine (assuming they’re all cool with it, of course), but some straight dude saying it with a negative undertone isn’t acceptable at all.
