Discord is a lot of fun. I normally just go on there to talk to mac and play games with people
What do you think the response would be if I said something to the effect of ācan we avoid tasteless, offensive jokes, please, weāre better than thatā when they made an assholish joke (such as a PTSD joke)? Because if theyād say Iām being oversensitive Iām not joining the Discord. I might not be missed, but I donāt want to voluntarily enter an environment like that.

Well pretty much the way most people think on discord is: āIf it doesnāt offend me, it wont offend othersā
ā¦so if it does offend others, they acknowledge that and apologise or something? Or do they run with that assumption even after itās contradicted
It depends. But if you do get triggered by stuff I wouldnāt go there.
Everyone on there is nice. Its just when it comes to offending someone, weāre robots
Right. I donāt get triggered, because I donāt have PTSD, but if I see something I object to I call it out. I guess weāll see what happens.

God, I HATE IT when people make ātriggeredā jokes. Donāt they realize itās an ACTUAL PROBLEM people have? Itās like using āautisticā as a synonym for āstupid.ā
ā¦Iām only still in the Discord just for dev updates and due to the fact that itās the most active chat Iām in right now, honestly. Other than that, itās pretty shitty.

I know its a actual problem that people have. And I know they canāt do anything to help it. Its their choice if they want to be offended by something or not.
Some people get offended by the word āhelloā (And then write 5 paragraphs about how their ex always said hello when talking to them but then abused them blah blah blah)
Iāve gotten to a stage where because people used to try and make shit up about me, I stopped caring.
Them: āYouāre such a faggotā
Me: "Ohhh stop it you or iāll come for you next 
"
Then they donāt do it again

I hate that idea that people choose to be offended. That doesnāt happen. People are offended by things regardless of whether they show it or not. The only choice is whether they react, and all thatās driven by is whether they think itāll make somebody else stop doing the offensive thing or not.
The ridiculous hypothetical you included isnāt a case of offense. That is an actual trigger, and itās different from offense in that a trigger can cause flashbacks, anxiety, and literal panic attacks. This is the exact same shit that soldiers who come back from war can have. Would you go up to an Iraq veteran whoās been diagnosed with PTSD and then start playing gunshot noises on your phone?
I may be wrong, but the general message Iām getting from you here is that people whoāve experienced discrimination, abuse, or any other traumatic event need to just āget over itā because they āchoose to be offendedā.
Now, I donāt know you. I donāt know your life. But if this is in fact what youāre trying to say, then Iāve noticed a pattern with people who take that stance. They seem to lack a lot of empathy. They donāt give a damn about anybody that isnāt themselves, and they try to downplay or discourage other peopleās problems because they donāt want to deal with them, regardless of what that does to the other person. And that doesnāt get them very far in life.
If you want people to give a shit about you, you have to give a shit about them, too.
Sorry if Iāve made an inaccurate assumption here. Iām a bit angry.

It is, sorry. Is there any way a mod can split the posts from my first post down through the last one I posted into a different thread?

This is rather off topic.
Summed up:
- If someone is making fun of you, ignore it. It doesnāt even matter
- PTSD is something you canāt help. Anyone who plays with someone because they know it would make them have a attack is just messed up
- Chill dude

its the internet, you literally talk to any person anywhere, and yes, bullies, bad people and so many weirdos are around, because the internet is just a big clusterfuck of cultures and subcultures, if you want to be safe, stay in a community where you think people appreciate you and where you truly feel safe, the subulture that you think suits you the most.
