“I waste my time in the morning and evening
Caught in a feeling
I lose my mind looking up at the ceiling
It’s just a feeling, it’s just a feeling…”
Part III - Crumb
“It’s not meant to be a strife
It’s not meant to be a struggle uphill
If you’re bleeding, undo
If you’re sweating, undo
If you’re crying, undo”
Undo - Björk
“Past love, come back to yourself
Don’t keep reaching out to him
He can’t help you now
It’s a past life, so come back to the time
It’s been far too many nights, and you still cry”
Past Love - Kimbra
Going by your logic, that would be offensive to me, as a gay man.
But this kind of hypersensitivity, especially when applied regardless of context or intent, is one of the main drivers of the reactionary sentiment that is allowing the right to win elections all over the world. It’s one of the reasons why the “free speech” argument has worked so well in their favor.
Currently, the only ones benefitting from this “moral high-ground” stance are fragile little baby egos like Musk and Trump who can rest assured knowing their opposition would never stoop as low as them, while they get to freely spew as much intentionally evil shit as they want.
A society where no one is ever offended by anyone is a utopia. It’s as desirable as it is unattainable. I think the best thing we can do at the moment is focus on fighting back, not fighting against each other.
