While I’m not unsympathetic to trauma or completely unwilling to accommodate it at all, if we clean the meme community of everything that someone finds somehow either offensive or triggering, there won’t be much left here

So, tl;dr, just about anything can be offensive or triggering to someone, so where on earth do we draw the line?

I didn't find the post to be particularly funny, nor triggering, but the responses to someone complaining by doubling down on the exact thing they just complained about is very telling about the culture you're cultivating on beehaw.

Why on earth would you assume it's a beehaw thing and not a me thing?

If you had read carefully the beehaw.org TOS, you'd know there's a fine-print clause that nominates you, personally, as the ambassador of all of its communities; everyone else is contractually obligated to upvote comments on your posts where you make fun of... uh, people who have had sex education or poor English speechcraft idk.

That's setting the bar low enough that it's near the Earth's core

Oh am I uptight or weird or both

Guess I hit a nerve?

Wanna go check out my profile page, leave a sulky reply on a few more comments? Insulting the quality of my memes was a terrific idea, but maybe you could team up with the original offendee who's now convinced that this post is an indication of rape culture being out of control, and see what sort of absolutely devastating insults you can come up with? Could call me a fascist for example, that'd be pretty bad?

It's in the same thread as the other comments, idk what to tell you.

Don't worry I consider you lot weird and uptight too, considering the reaction to mild criticism.

The upvote ratio was what made me think that

I… see? Any other fun conclusions you want to jump to based on hilarious "data"?
