"Dude, stop being a pussy"
*voice trembles*
"So you are saying I should be ok with racism?"

@matrix honestly, the short answer is yes, because words aren't violence. They're just words. Some ignorant asshole being racist should not shit in your cereal in any way.

@djsumdog They're not just words. Verbal abuse has real, *physiological* effects. Your emotions aren't just incorporeal abstractions either: elevated heart rate, clenching of muscles, short breathing... words can cause all of those.

Good for you that you don't find some kinds of verbal abuse hurtful, but guaranteed there are others that you do because you're human like the rest of us, in need of healthy socialisation like the rest of us.

I'm sorry as my post is completely out of context, but this does not apply in what I was referencing.
I'm referencing an adult man getting offended on behalf of others at jokes on the internet. Not a child being told to suck up bullying.
