So when did Valentines Day become offensive?

Like, I think I was living under a rock, but now Valentines Day is a capitalist scheme to make people insecure or buy things. Seems like projecting. 🤔🤔🤔

I mean, not totally wrong, but that’s a lot of anger over one day. 🤷‍♀️😂

I find Valentine's Day very offensive. You have this holiday exclusive to couples celebrating being in a relationship. If you aren't in a relationship, the holiday just reminds single people how much a loser they are for not having someone special their life.

@htoad34 I can respect that. I just don’t have the energy or mental space to get offended. It can be about any kind of love. Or you can forget it altogether. Don’t have to participate or etc.

I don’t think being single makes you a loser either. Our worth comes from within

@YoungPoet345 I was being completely sarcastic. I don't care about Valentine's Day. I was just trying to feign being offended. Which seems to be a theme nowadays, let's all be offended by everything.

@htoad34 oh, I see. Yes, it does for sure.

@htoad34 I find this post offensive. Let's cancel mothers day too. Too many kids without moms. Fathers day? Cancelled. Thanksgiving? What if you have nothing to be thankful for? Cancelled. Halloween? To many diabetic kids walking around. Cancelled.

@KingBlue he was being sarcastic

@YoungPoet345 So am I! Im not throwing shade at all
htoad34 · 41-45, M
@KingBlue Yes! Let's cancel all holidays.

@htoad34 Can we keep Groundhog's day?
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
@KingBlue Lol, I guess sarcasm goes right over my head online. Whoosh! 😆
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
Yes, let’s cancel every holiday!

@KingBlue I suppose, that is the only useful thing groundhogs are good for.
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
@KingBlue but what about animals who aren’t ground hogs? What about them?
KingBlue · M
@YoungPoet345 I don't know. I just liked the movie tbh and would hate to lose that too.
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
@KingBlue idk. I’m kind of offended by movies about ground hogs. 🤔
KingBlue · M
@htoad34 I do wonder what of our current holidays would survive our current standards if they had to start fresh today.
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
@KingBlue how about “Everyone day”. Except some are offended by celebrating everyone and not their specific group. Nothing would pass! How about pizza day? Unless you are allergic to gluten. America can’t agree on anything! 😂😂😂😂
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
Not even America day

@YoungPoet345 I'm still honestly perplexed that they only thing we could come together over for one week was Bernie in mittens, before continuing our hatred for each other again.
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
@KingBlue pretty much. It’s a crazy world we live in
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
I do think people are way more easily offended now than in years past
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
It keeps getting worse 😬

My school wasn’t allowed to mention or use anything Harry Potter cause someone was offended by the author
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
I don’t like the author but I’m not offended by harry potter
