It's clear people go into an article looking to be offended and cherry pick what they read to back up their agenda. Happens when reading posts as well.
It's impossible to deal with people who are so emotional and I vote we stop this as it just goes in circles and has been the same argument for weeks. Pretty soon it will devolve into name calling, posts will get removed, it will stop and then some other article will appear that will rile up the perpetually offended anti "pc" brigade.
Rince, repeat.
This is the common tool people with these opinions use. As soon as the argument gets difficult to justify, then the people on the other side are bigots, nazis, emotional, or just "old white men". Despite the total lack of emotion they were showing up until this point, they're branded as emotional and apparently the conversation should be shut down.
I don't think anyone went into the article "looking to be offended". In fact I don't think anyone has said they were offended at all, they have just expressed their disagreement. Claiming the opposite side of an argument are "easily offended", or "snowflakes" etc, is another tool used by the left and right in equal measure.
If there's one big credit due to "old white men", it's that they are not easily offended compared to the younger demographics, that's for sure.
P.S. I am 36, so honestly not sure where I fit in these demographics!
