To find this so fucking offensive?

Not sure if I'm overreacting.

A semi famous social media person uploaded a photo to there Instagram of them with a sellotape wrapped around their face up to their nose to resemble tubes. Making fun of the film Fault in our Stars, a film about a girl with cancer.

I said I found it disgusting to be told I shouldn't be offended because

"It's a fucking film! She didn't really have cancer! Go to bed you fucking noodle!"

Seriously aibu?

Why are you now being so aggressive to eatshit just because she isn't agreeing with you??
She hasn't said anything horrible yet your responses are just nasty.

BackforGood · 25/05/2015 01:34

to be honest - I find the language in your thread title pretty offensive.

As other posters have said - we all find different thing ok, and different things offensive. There is no 'one' line

well you're a nasty piece of work OP, no need for that just because Derek has a different opinion to you. Hmm

diddums hiding the thread because you haven't had the response you want?! and you call Derek hysterical.

SocialMediaAddict · 25/05/2015 01:45

Your messages to Derek are offensive. Get a grip.

sleeponeday · 25/05/2015 01:45

Blimey, OP. Are you drunk?

sleeponeday · 25/05/2015 01:45

I really, really hope nobody reports that last post, OP. It shows your true character in such gloriously unforgiving, HD technicolor.

BoreOfWhabylon · 25/05/2015 01:46

KorsILoveMichael, what you have just posted to Derek is the sort of thing a goadyfucking bitch might post.

So I've reported you.

Somehow I doubt you would get anything like the support Derek did if you were banned.

kali110 · 25/05/2015 01:47

Ahh, one of them.
Soon as they gets responses they don't like they turn into a crying little bitch Grin

Love mn sometimes.
Reminds me of school!

kali110 · 25/05/2015 01:50

Ignore them, people can be whiney little bitches wgen they don't get their own way.
It shows their true colours!

SeaUnicorns · 25/05/2015 01:54

Hang on wait how could Derek's response to being banned be posted for all to see - she was erm banned so she couldn't erm post, if you mean the thread asking why she was banned it wasn't started by her.

Sorry have to agree if it was simply some on making plastic tubes out of cello tape and going I'm the girl from fault in our stars, it's not actually offencivr. I don't know where the world trade centre or the holocaust reference has come in. Because this celeb isn't an actor/ress maybe and it's ok for them to pretend to be someone/something and not other people dressing up.

If he's made plastic tubes and gone look at me I have cancer like the girl in fault in our stars then yes that's offencive that's someone not understanding how serious cancer is, and weirdly there are people who don't know.

It's the difference between re-enacting the film, "I am (being) a character from a fictional (all be it heavily inspired by real life) book/film"

And I'm taking the piss out of a genuine medical condition because I think the film over played it and it's not like that in real life by saying "look at me I'm funny I have cancer,"

Any one that thinks cancer is funny or not that serious needs pitting TBQH.

kali110 · 25/05/2015 01:58

Posters got another thread where her fesponses are judgy so says a lot.
Funny thing is i actually agreed with her on this post!

crustsaway · 25/05/2015 02:00

Im really not sure why you are so offended? People reinact things all the time. My dad died of cancer and I laugh about certain situations that occurred, I surely wouldn't go all ballistic about others doing the same in humour. Its a way of dealing with things.

nowitscleanugobshite · 25/05/2015 02:03

Wow!! Just wow!! I tend to "read and move on" round here, but OP your reaction was out of order?! Way out of order and unnecessarily personal. Not cool. Not cool at all!

Toofattorun · 25/05/2015 02:06

Calm the fuck down you insomniac bitches! Grin

crustsaway · 25/05/2015 02:09

I'd tend to think that the posters who find things very offensive then hit out are rather troubled, so give her grace, tell her to piss off for a bit and come back a better person.

Peace and love Grin

kali110 · 25/05/2015 02:16

^Yeh you defended on another thread when she was being nasty too. Why? Those comments above despicable. Completely uncalled for.
This thread has taken the same turn as the other thread.
Op doesn't like the responses she gets so gets nasty.

ilovesooty · 25/05/2015 02:17

Another name changer who'll probably go back to her normal user name tomorrow if she can get away with it.

I hope she pisses off permanently.

SeaUnicorns · 25/05/2015 02:20

I kind of agree with crustaway, that the op seems to be fairly troubled. But she rather loses her moral high ground by lashing out at one poster and she's rightfully being pulled up on being rude and personal when Derek has done nothing other than tried to reason with her.

ilovesooty · 25/05/2015 02:26

Agreed kalli

Classic example of a cowardly goady name changer who gets nasty when she doesn't get the responses she was after.
