Really? This Offended You?

OK I looked at the links. Here's why, specifically (and Glatt covered some of this in one of your other whine threads in Meta, and Shawnee hit the nail also)

Firstly, you seem to be using the word "offended" when you really mean "pissed off by". they are not the same thing.

You posted two images of scantily clad women in the WTF NSFW thread. They are not "offensive" in themselves to most people, I would say. But they are most definitely not WTF images. There is nothing overly special about those women. Most dwellars do not come to the cellar for that stuff, so it does annoy them -and shawnee's comments about wives daughters and objectifying women is an appropriate point here....

You compare those with (a) a picture of a guy with an enormous dick. That is somewhat WTF, as is the expression on the other guy's face. And it's funny. And it's NSFW. But it definitely has a WTF element. and (b) NSFW picture of a dwellar in the Dwellar NSFW thread. That's doing exactly what is says on the tin. Just because you don't like the penis doesn't mean the pic is inappropriate or offensive where it is.

And your final comparison. Again, the picture you posted not WTF at all. But the post as a whole is mean-spirited and not remotely interesting or amusing. Take Shawnee's comment about mothers/wives and apply it to parents/grandparents. Many of us here are parents, grandparents, we are or know and love and respect seniors. What were you trying to say with that pic? and for the picture you compared it with, see comment (b) above.

It's not the images that are offensive, it's not about nudity and sex, it's your attitude that's offensive, it's about what you are communicating when you post those pics in the places you post them. Seriously, what are you trying to say when you post these images? You want to post pics of scantily clad women because you enjoy them -make a thread for it. In fact there's probably one of Drax's lying around somewhere you can adopt. Personally I'd rather you did that on another forum because I am not interested in that or the sort of viewers it might attract the the forum, but that's not my call. It's yours and the community as a whole. You want to make fun of older people by posting pics of them getting frisky and ridiculing them? Fine. I'm glad you showed your true colors before I wasted too much time on you. That was pretty offensive. Again, not the pic, but the post. You have some growing up to do.

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it.

And you are not the only person who's suffered kangaroo court justice in here (although as I see it you're the one creating this drama rather than the community). In my memory there's been me, merc, bigv, tiki, shawnee, spexx, lumberjim, tw, radar, classic, shawnee, UG, marichiko(?), emma, drax/datalyss ...and more on the receiving end at one time or another. Whether we feel that our treatment was just or unjust, we get over it and get on with it, or we leave or get banned and aren't so much missed. But it ain't just you -you're not as special as all that.

Now can we please be done with this crap?

This is evident by "As usual I'm wrong no matter what the fuck the problem is EVER, I'm wrong. Looks like I'm just wrong all the fucking time. I was just born to be wrong I guess."

a) It's all about me
b) Even if it's not all about me, it's all about me
c) It's absolutely all about me all of the time

How'd you get your head that far up your ass with your shoulder all fucked up? I would've thought it would take both hands...
