I don't get this whole easily offended thing that a lot of millennials seem to have. Oh BTW I'm somewhat a millennial... Born in the 80s...
Anyway seems to be so embedded in the culture that it just ruins things.
Case in point... Awhile ago a coworker called me Spiderman... After he saw me maneuver a small cart... It would require you to be in push up position to be able to move it around... Let alone stop it after going at a decent speed or turning corners. Ground maneuverability... Period.
And then another dude yelled at him to stop picking on me. I just pretended not to hear anything and kept working. A truck about to leave. No time to talk.
In my mind I'm like... What? HIS COMMENT MADE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF! ITS NOT A MEAN COMMENT!!! Why? CUZ ITS PRAISE TO MY ASS KICKING ABILITY!!!
Why? Ground maneuverability is a very good skill to have. I've won or stalemated fights against SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER guys. I'm a stocky 5'6 180 ... Yeah I know I'm fat and not the best shape... I should be between 140-150 lbs!!! I know!!! Working on it! Lol
Point is, I'm talking guys 6 feet and change and weigh about 220 lbs at least. Maybe heavier. Obviously stronger. As in I get taken to the ground if I try to match em with brute strength. But once I'm already on the ground, my maneuverabilityâ evens out the playing field and I end up getting better position and leverage a lot! Cuz big guys most of the time are very slow on the ground.
Back to original topic... Sure if it's something mean like faggot or sissy or fatso or even weirdo or mental... Sure tell em to stop picking on him.
But really? Spiderman? Lol that's a compliment
Back in high school i used to be called a faggot even though I'm not gay... Guess just looked like one lol
Then that changed to "askal" (tagalog term for street dog...) after I started giving people bruises or bloody mouth and/or nose for physically bullying me. Took ownership to "askal"... When it's supposed to be a derogatory term...
Another term I was called is "abnoy" (derived from English word "abnormal") cuz I'm not good in socializing and just think and act differently than most people...
Lol how's that for calling people mean names!
