no one has ever been offended by the word removed, unless they are getting offended on someone else's behalf to virtue signal

“Everything I don’t like is ~~woke~~ virtue signaling”

do you think virtue signaling isn't a real thing, or that it never happens?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I didn’t say that. Do you think people who get offended at racial slurs are just virtue signaling?

[–] WorkshopBubby 1 points 10 hours ago

No. Maybe sometimes they are. But generally, racial slurs are used explicitly to be racist or offensive.
