But of course if the person in question asked me to stop saying that about them, I'd stop. If something bothers you personally, I'll be nice about it and stop doing it around you or in regards to you. I'm not gonna be all like "well, freedom of speech, I can say what i want!" about it like an obnoxious d-bag. But you DO have to bring it up, because I'm not (and many others like me aren't) accustomed to the level of eggshell-walking so many people demand nowadays (which, yes, I do find excessive at times).

I've been keeping out of this discussion and I'm not going to chime in regarding Ayu but I just have to agree with this sooo much. People are so easily offended nowadays it's kind of ridiculous :\ This generation is being raised as if they're special little snowflakes. Everyone suddenly wants to play the victim, write up an argument with their keyboard and post it on Tumblr and it's gotten to the point where it's like... chill the fuck out. That's why I'm grateful for my group of people where I know I won't have stones being thrown at me for calling them a whore, slut, bitch, whatever just like how I won't care if they call me that as well. I can tell the difference when someone is making an exaggeration out of it and when someone GENUINELY means it.
Like Chibi-Chan said, we just have to agree to disagree.
