easier to offend

Also because marginalized people are allowed here. Will be a great lesson in not being a dick!

    being marginalized and being offended by stupid shit have nothing to do with one another.

    plenty of marginalized people have senses of humor and are thick skinned. it's mostly the privileged over educated types who get offended by everything and on behave of everyone.

    More referring to the fact that being personally attacked is more likely to offend most people than bigotry against a third party.

    where i live, perceived bigotry against a third party is seen as way more offense than personal attacks. like people will go out of their way to twist your words to make them seem offensive because it gives them a reason to be upset.
