Defence of offense offends offended
Vlambeer apologized for perceived racism. Polygon reported. The internet exploded.
More like “Vlambeer apologised for leaving a very negative interpretation of their work open. Polygon went around pretending like people ‘choose’ to feel offended (going against what Vlambeer had just said) and that being offended is the only consequence of things such as the holocaust or the violence against women in our current gaming culture (which it isn’t). Several segments of the internet spoke up and lazygamer.net thought it would be a good idea to classify that response as 'personal attacks’ and singling out a particular person in the discussion and framing them as 'that one hypersensitive feminist, amirite folks’.”
Where’s lolatmra’s text post about how men pride themselves in “not being offended” when I need it?
