I mean some people think that just because they are joking, they are not offending anyone, but at the same time in 2015 I feel like anything you say can be pointed against you
Pretty much. People on the internet has this habit of making everything a big deal. I've seen some quite harmless jokes that wasn't received well on twitter alone. Tumblr is a WHOLE 'nother story. It will take days to tackle that one
People sometimes take jokes too seriously. But I find it hypocritical many of yall get furious over gay jokes yet tell other minorities like trans people "to get thicker skin".
