This shit is out of control. Put aside the sexual aspect of situations like this for a second, regardless of what you think of them (a tall order for some, I know). These days it seems as if people aren't allowed to have any individual personality anymore. The Internet has the immensely incredible potential to connect the world, to bring together people of different backgrounds/cultures/communities/etc. Yet this political correctness bullshit means that if you express even the tiniest hint of being anything other than "plain Jane" straight down the middle-of-the-road you are likely to be lambasted, railroaded, harassed, and possibly lose your job/place to live/goodness knows what else.

What is even the point of things like "social media" if you can't truly be yourself? People are strange. Too many people act like like they are in the business of being professionally offended. They jump on the outrage bandwagon far too easily, seemingly just to be able to point out to other people that "yep, see, I too was against that, see my Tweet on the matter? Did ya? Did ya see it!?"

Stephen Fry was right on the money when he said people declaring they were "offended by ..." was the equivalent to the adult version of whining. OK... so you're "offended" by that... so fucking what? People act like if they declare they are offended, or point out how "wrong" something they don't agree with is that it automagically puts them on some sort of moral high ground. Ridiculous.
