What's something you used to do/see/say but don't anymore because you don't feel it's right? - eviltoast

Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.

    Once upon a brighter time, gay was only colloquially used to convey happiness, unrelated to the sexual connotations there is today.

    Such a sad time we live in where everything becomes a sensitive topic that can insult and hurt.

    To clarify before I get cancelled to oblivion 😂 - you want your diversity, fine with me, good for you, but please there is no need to be a touchy one and reserve a swathe of labels to get insulted by when it can clearly be decided upon context if it was meant to be insulting or not.
