I think we can all agree that assholes loudly bleating poorly thought-out generalizations on either side can pretty much fuck right off.Fetzenfisch said:

What always gets under my skin? People who are being homophobic or transphobic. People deliberately using the wrong gender pronouns for me and to a lesser degree others. People blindly following their 'leaders' no matter what they say without thinking for themselves.
The number one thing that will not only always get under my skin but probably the only thing that will send me into a violent rage is people abusing children.

The Westborough Baptist Church Morons (WBCM) with their bippin' an their boppin' an their everyones going to hell but us attitude, they've pissed me of especially since they created that hypocritical dance act.
That pot is some type of crazy super drug that will lead to your demise. I've been smoking for years and I still do my job very well, graduated college and lead a normal life. It's a goddamn plant. Get over yourself people. If you can't judge when enough is enough then that's you're fault entirely.
And to respond to the people bitching about calling others "fags". there is a group of fags here in Columbus who call themselves The Friday Night Fags and they meet up and go party at the "trendiest" restaurants and bars here. So, the way I see it, gay people can probably care less. Snowflakes.

The Escapist. It was great when I first joined, but now it's devolved into thinly-veiled insults to one's intelligence and firefights.
Okay, okay... I josh (mostly).
In all seriousness, I hate being mocked, and I mean in the "copycat" sense. It's a very good, very fast way to make me go from "not-so-friendly-neighborhood" Sage to "I-will-strangle-you-with-your-own-spine" Sage.
I hate being teased, as I'm somewhat naive. I suffered enough of that when I was little, and if I have to put you in the hospital to get you to shut up, so be it.
I hate people telling me how I'm supposed to think about certain things. You have your views and I have mine; sometimes we'll agree, and other times we won't. Try to force your opinions on me and I will personally make sure you no longer have a brain to form opinions with.
I hate when someone insults my intelligence; my family tried damn hard to make sure I didn't end like most young blacks you see walking around the street today with their skinny jeans, bad haircuts, and overall poor taste in clothing. Furthermore, calling me a "Ritalin-popping retard" because I prefer, say, fighting games - which I feel require more raw skill - over your oft-tooted Baldur's Gate or SotC will inspire me to make a way to physically reach through your monitor and knock every tooth out of your mouth.
Jackassery in general. On the flip side, elitism. You see it here on this very site all the time. All you need to do is pull up a thread about DA2 or, better yet, the whole "dumbing down" issue and you'll see what I mean.
Addendum: As you can see, I'm a very violent person. It's amazing how, as a nerd, no one respects you until you snap and almost kill someone.
Ah... middle school... where would I be without those years?

Agreed, although if you know the original definition you can stealthily call someone an idiot when they address you as such.SamtheDeathclaw said:

Anyone hurting small animals for fun (rodents, cats, dogs, marsupials, birds, etc). I'v seen a lot of kids do pretty fucking stupid things, and I'v been very close to kicking them hard in the head for it.
For instance; Seen kid throw firecrackers at cat, seen kid kick dog, seen kid feed a bird with bread attached to a fishing hook, etc.

I often end up using the wrong pronouns with transfolks, but it's usually like innocent "He -- sorry, she" and the like.nekoali said:
When you're from rural Ohio, you just don't see it a lot, so you have to make a concious effort to use the right words.
No word should be considered offensive.Woodsey said:
And no, I'm not middle-class white. I'm a cross-breed, a shit-mix, a half-caste. Whatever you want to call it, I couldn't give less of a shit.
Life is too short to waste being offended.
Also, it's white people who are the most eager to label a word offensive.
Again, it's good that you can be unoffended, but words do carry meaning and people can't help being offended.Trolldor said:
And yeah, white people try a little too hard to be sensitive. They (we, I'm white) are responsible for a lot of horrible crap (see Colonialism in Africa), so they try to make up for it and maybe overcompensate a bit.
People insisting I don't have an opinion on sensitive subjects because I'm a middle-class, straight white guy. I suspect that might be the only way you could suggest we were 'oppressed'. Apparently you need to have centuries of slavery under your (personal) belt to hold an opinion about whether or not black people are currently being hard done to.
I will admit I do find it slightly ridiculous that people still quote 'slavery' as a reason to be extra nice to black people. Slavery was abolished over a hundred years ago. As soon as everybody grows up and forgets about it, we'll all bloody get along. I get called a pikey and told to go home because the famine's over. You don't see me getting all riled up about it. Y'know why? Because I, personally, did not witness the potato famine. I, personally, did not travel to Scotland or England. My ancestors did. Maybe they could get upset by it...but not me. I have no reason to.

It grates my cheese that people deliberately ingore the fact that:Uriel-238 said:
A child's sexuality has to do with 'informed consent' of which they are not capable of giving until around 16 years of age at the earliest, which is information easily obtained by anyone who does adolescent psychology in a tertiary institution.
The age of consent set around 16-18 years of age is actually quite strongly 'magically aligned' with the physical and biological development of an adolescent.
People who have no idea what trolling is.theheroofaction said:
Also, fence sitters who refuse to look at the argument but claim they know better than either side.
People getting mad at every possible use of the word "fag" and variations thereof.
No, I'm not trying to flame the others who wrote that they are in the above group- it strikes me as unreasonable. It's entirely possible to use "fag" and not be offensive; I call my best friend a fag (note: he's homo) and he doesn't mind because he knows I'm just ribbing him, there's no actual negative attitude involved.

As someone had said earlier, people who abuse animals really really upset me. I think people who inflict abuse on animals shouldn't be fined.... but have the same things happen to them. It's the only way cruel people will learn.
I also can't stand transphobic bigotry, especially when people think they aren't being bigots.
There should be a bottomless pit for people to be thrown down and starve from the endless fall for hurting/messing up little kids by doing bad things to them.
