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?

This thread is the very definition of irony. OP finds something horrendously offensive (still don't quite get what) and because people aren't all agreeing with her, gets even more offensive.
Couldn't make this shit up!! Can almost see the toys being thrown out the pram... [Hmm

Mozzereena · 25/05/2015 06:30

YABU, OP. You are overreacting to someone taking the piss out of a film.

DrankSangriaInThePark · 25/05/2015 06:35

Wowzers.

There I was, nodding along with the OP, thinking yes, I agree, you see it a lot, people trying to be "funny" and get themselves some cheap publicity. A

And then whoooooah, left field Enola Gay stylee explosion onto Dezza....(who wasn't disagreeing with the OP as much as others were....)

Why daren't you post under your real name OP?

Flipping heck!

parsnipbob · 25/05/2015 06:51

Wow OP, pretty disgusting personal attacks from you there.

GlitzAndGigglesx · 25/05/2015 06:53

I find it so funny when "grown" women throw around how sad or lifeless you are to be sat on MN as an insult, but they're doing just that themselves Grin

Perissa · 25/05/2015 07:02

Wow, that got OTT very quickly. I'm still not sure what OP found so offensive.

Crocodopolis · 25/05/2015 07:06

YABU, OP.

Eatshitderek, I always enjoy your posts and am sorry that you were subjected to such abuse.

Stealthpolarbear · 25/05/2015 07:09

Am I the only person wondering how one would dress as the entire world trade centre?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/05/2015 07:11

Omg, Yanbu about the subject of your thread.

Yaba disgrace with your comments to Derek.

Derek you have been very gracious in your responses to the OP. Smile

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/05/2015 07:12

Agree Lime

GobblersKnob · 25/05/2015 07:12

Wonder no more Stealth, I remember it being in the news it didn't go down well.

GobblersKnob · 25/05/2015 07:13

And yes, that was all rather unexpected, you handled it very well Derek.

Stealthpolarbear · 25/05/2015 07:15

Ugh no
But then I don't agree with the people dressing as jimmy saville either

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 25/05/2015 07:21

I was wondering about the twin towers costume as well - horrified by that link, Gobblers!

TheEggityOddity · 25/05/2015 07:22

Oh oh. I'm scared to say now but I think yabu to not see that people get offended by different things. There are people dying in their thousands in countries all over the world from preventable wars and diseases, there are politicians doing despicable things, and the media employs journalists to make funny cartoons out of it. It's just a joke. That particular joke touched a nerve with you, it probably didn't with lots of other people. If it isn't close to the knuckle, it probably isn't going to be funny. I actually think that joke is quite funny! There are probably some people with cancer who think that joke is funny in fact, it's called macabre humour!

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 25/05/2015 07:23

WTAF?

Why not just start a thread saying 'I'm going to have a go at the first person who disagrees with me'...?

fiveacres · 25/05/2015 07:23

I couldn't stand that book.

fiveacres · 25/05/2015 07:25

But, whilst I am not for a moment condoning the personal attacks, i doubt they came out of the blue (pardon the pun.) I imagine the OP has recently been through cancer in some way, shape or form.

CoogerAndDark · 25/05/2015 07:27

I'd think they were crass and thick and not worth bothering with.

exLtEveDallasNoBollocks · 25/05/2015 07:30

It's more likely jealousy from a cowardly ncer. People like Derek, really like her and some pathetic posters are jealous of that, jealous that no-one knows or likes them.

This cowardly name-changing OP was a wanker on another thread as well. She sounds bitter and twisted and very much like a goady fucker just doing it for attention.

It backfired though, because of course she is just a coward and will NC again because everyone now sees how pathetic she is.

SoupDragon · 25/05/2015 07:33

Going by this and other threads, I can only assume the OP was bored over the bank holiday weekend and decided to turn into a twat.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/05/2015 07:34

five I doubt it. The OP was rude and aggressive on another thread. No excuse for her, she's just a goady fucker.

pictish · 25/05/2015 07:35

"Go to bed you fucking noodle!"
Sounds like he gave you some sage advice there.
