People are offended by a ton of ridiculous stuff.

It's actually quite hard to work out what words you're talking about :/ Why not just write them.

Because I don't think it's healthy to attach such horror and outrage at simple words. It's like in Harry Potter where they dare not mention the V word, they just refer to him as 'he who should not be named'.

"It's actually quite hard to work out what words you're talking about :/ Why not just write them."

Here, I'll rewrite it, since I have no compunction against saying offensive words in a conversation about offensive words.

Gays can use the "faggot" - noone else can Blacks can use "nigger" - noone else can women can use "bitch" - no one else can.

You're right it's just like Harry Potter.

I laughed so hard at this.
