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?

Fuck me Derek did you accidentally cross post with the OP about something as awful as fluffy kittens on a previous thread or something equally evil? Grin

OP have the courage of your convictions and be a complete wanker under your usual posting name, eh?

Yes, ilovesooty the PBP's love to come back and then complain that other posters are 'obsessed with MN' and 'spend too much time here'

Oh the irony!

elQuintoConyo · 25/05/2015 09:00

Is the OP Katie Hopityfuck (or whatever her name is?)?

You sound like a very sad, bitter twisted woman OP.

Why don't you step away from MN, have a glass of wine, relax, have a wank.

ClashCityRocker · 25/05/2015 09:01

What's semi-famous anyway?

Pagwatch · 25/05/2015 09:01

I wish MNHQ would name them once they post shit like this as in 'pbp who has previously posted under 'pretendingtobenice' 'actuallyatwat' and 'spinelesswanker'

I'd have stuck up for you usual. I stick up for anyone Grin

sharonthewaspandthewineywall · 25/05/2015 09:02

I agree with the OP that the person on FB was being offensive and totally not funny.
The rest of it I'm not going to dignify with a response.

Alchemist · 25/05/2015 09:03

Thanks for Derek, as she is a classy bird.

Biscuit for Kors, as i think she has low blood sugar.

BadgersArse · 25/05/2015 09:04

i bloody love this thread reads on

kissedbyamoonbeammyarse · 25/05/2015 09:07

Alchemist, is that the TP lilac? How did I miss that we got it? That's lovely.

KittensOnAPlane · 25/05/2015 09:08

Has anyone seen the picture in the op?

(I name change a bit, but only do I don't give out too many details about me)

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 25/05/2015 09:09

Fuck me, this wasn't what i expected to read as I scrolled down Grin

Del, you must have hit a nerve on this twat.

Bloody name changing!

Alchemist · 25/05/2015 09:09

It must be! I have never read any Pratchett but I think I will now.

Where do I start?! Thanks

floatyflo · 25/05/2015 09:22

Well...that escalated quickly.

kissedbyamoonbeammyarse · 25/05/2015 09:23

Start at the beginning. The Colour of Magic. There are better discworld books.but this one is my favourite because its where I began. It gives a good start with getting to grips with characters too. Jealous you are just about to discover the discworld!

IonaMumsnet · 25/05/2015 09:23

Morning folks. Thanks for all your reports on this thread. We've removed the comment in question and will be having a word with this poster off the boards.

Alchemist · 25/05/2015 09:26

Thanks Kissed

Pagwatch · 25/05/2015 09:27

Hmm, I hope you are having more than a word Iona.

Or that the word you are going to have is 'shithead'

BoreOfWhabylon · 25/05/2015 09:27

I hope you'll be doing more than "having a word" Iona

BoreOfWhabylon · 25/05/2015 09:28

snap, Pagwatch.

exLtEveDallasNoBollocks · 25/05/2015 09:33

Hopefully 'the word' will be "We don't allow ncing to be a goady fucker so YOU ARE BANNED. Ta ta Smile"

FarFromAnyRoad · 25/05/2015 09:33

Anyone else find it extraordinary that someone actually stores personal details in their head for later use in a tirade of abuse? I find that so odd. I suppose it's jealousy. That, and an unhealthy dose of emotional and cerebral instability.

Pipbin · 25/05/2015 09:34

What the fuck happened there?

Pagwatch · 25/05/2015 09:36

Yep - snap WofB.

Great minds..

ilovesooty · 25/05/2015 09:37

I hope so too Eve
