Just because you're offensive doesn't mean you're right, either.

Hmm, not sure if this is aimed at me. I didn't report your thread btw. I see that it was moved though and that section seems more appporiate. It just seemed more adult in nature and as a female I would prefer to not stumble across the topic so to speak. I wasn't offended and it appears to be resolved. That is how it should be I think on a forum looking for resolutions and here it just seems to be be where it posted. You had no idea to know.

@Jonn
Gervais is right of course, but hasn't it already become illegal to offend other people in the UK?
I'm fairly sure that's the case in Scotland anyway.

This seems to be a turning point for democracy. I'm looking forward to the legislation being applied impartially /lol.
For example, personally I've found the long-standing lies about the claimed (but non-existent) Gender Wage Gap deeply offensive. And have done since the 1980's when I realized they were deliberately lying.

If society starts to operate based on subjective interpretations of what people say, it won't stay one-sided for long.
Everybody will be forced to weaponize their "hurt feelings" just to stay safe.

The only way to regulate it will be compulsory universal use of bodycams, turned on by proximity to another person.
