HenryAllbright 11/13/18 1:09:31 PM #61:	Another thing to consider.... Punishing people or telling people they are being immoral by saying "i'm offended by your comment" or "your views on ______ are offensive" actually works AGAINST any goals related to getting people to stop saying certain things or having their views. And that's because when somebody says "that's offensive" to a comment you make, that remark is actually perceived as a bigger attack on the person who made the supposed offensive comment than the supposed offensive comment was in the first place. In other words, it's offensive to tell somebody that they are being offensive. So if you don't like when people are being offensive, why engage in that behavior yourself? <cite>HenryAllbright posted [p:912336733] in Why do peo...

They're not dropping the hard r. People trying to be offensive with the word aren't using the soft a. They're essentially different words. Soft a has a variety of different uses that change with context, hard r doesn't. Hard r is only ever used in one way by the transmitter, and only meant to be interpreted in one way by the receiver. You might want to pretend as if the distinction is meaningless, just for the sake of carrying on an idiotic argument, but homophones are a thing and they encompass far more than just the n-word.

Punishing people or telling people they are being immoral by saying "i'm offended by your comment" or "your views on ______ are offensive" actually works AGAINST any goals related to getting people to stop saying certain things or having their views. And that's because when somebody says "that's offensive" to a comment you make, that remark is actually perceived as a bigger attack on the person who made the supposed offensive comment than the supposed offensive comment was in the first place.
