What I never understood is being offended on behalf of other people. If a Jewish person is offended by a anti-semitic name (even though that’s not what this was), fine fair enough. I could even understand someone coming to a dev and saying “hey I’m worried that a Jewish person might be offended by this” as some kind of a warning

But to say you’re offended by something that doesn’t even apply to you is just…unhealthy IMO. It’s taking on extra stress you don’t need

imagine an alternative world where a person finds out that the name they chose could be perceived by someone as offensive and they offer to willingly change it out of an abundance of caution and empathy. Good. now go back to getting offended by people being offended on behalf of others.

I choose not to allow other people to dictate how I conduct my life based on the idea that someone, somewhere "might" be offended by something I say or do.

That's stupid.

At the same time when I find something offensive, I turn it off, or go somewhere else, or ignore the person or offensive thing and move on with my life. Starting a crusade to weed out all evil in the world based on your subjective sense of morality is fruitless and creates people that have no emotional or cognitive resilience. And unfortunate byproduct of freedom (especially that of speech) means that people will say (or do) things you don't like.

"Oh hey, when i named it 'Jooh' i thought of it like 'you' not 'jew' but now that you point it out i can see where you might have come to that conclusion. sorry if it made you feel that way."

A "normal" person

"Oh hey, I named my character whatever I wanted and you took it the wrong way. That's on you. Don't try to push your delusional 'put down all the things I subjectively find offensive' outlook on me. Also, stop talking to me. Go be offended quietly somewhere else. Hope you get the meds you need soon."

Sincerely,

A normal person
