are people just becoming overly sensitive and looking for reasons to condemn others?

was reading an article of backlash about steve harvey's wife calling herself retarded and people jumping on her case of using the word. when are people going to stop being hyper sensitive?

i don't think it's being sensitive letting people know saying a slur is wrong

@badapple asshole isn't used to mock a group of people who can't really stand up for themselves tho.

also, no one is saying you can't use the words. people are saying you shouldn't. there's think there's a difference
actually there is, the backlash of people saying that you shouldnt be using them. thats what the whole beef was about. people attacking others just for saying the word.

@badapple you're saying yourself that people are saying we [i]shouldn't [/i]use those words, though? you can't blame people for expressing their opinions as long as they're being civil. now im sure a lot of those people aren't being civil, but then i don't think some of the comments on here are especially civil either so that goes both ways

Hypersensitivity is a coping mechanism
what if
one day we'll be able to see into the place words are uttered from

It will only be okay if we know the heart of the person saying it
but we don't
and we are quick to assume they are out to hurt and be condescending

one day
maybe words that make people feel less than human
will totally disappear
@SW-User they won't though. Eventually your gonna get too tired to even care if someone means something badly towards you, it's their problem not yours
People should be able to say whatever they want including condemning people.

they can't .. because they're retarded.

:P


though, retard means 'slow'. what? they're going to punish ingredients that 'retard spoilage'?

better get ahold of the FDA! ... STAT!

people are assholes, nothing you can do about it and the republicans don't want us to abort them. (because they're assholes too.)
It’s like there’s a whole breed of them.. wake up every morning and go searching for something to hate on, just feel better about themselves..
I’m not racist, I keep a black friend 👌

Forget the fact ppl can defend themselves these ppl need to defend everyone they see as weak or discriminated against it feeds their selfrightousness
People are becoming more sensitive absolutely but condemning others has always gone on, far worse that it does now in modern first world countries
