(Anonymous) 2012-01-29 04:34 am (UTC)(link)She's not calling everybody "dipsy." Dipsy is a loving nickname. Her brother LOVES being called dipsy and tells people to call him that.
Some schmuck hurt her brother by doing exactly what you are doing: telling him that something is wrong with a loving and friendly nickname that people who care about and love him use.
This is exactly what people have a problem with. Listen, I've met some wonderful "Social Jusitice Fighters" but the fact is that the outspoken, over zealous ones are the ones that get attention.
Why? Because of exactly the event the poster told of. People getting bent out of shape over things that have no place being declared wrong or evil.
Yes, people are offended by different things. However you completely made the point that the poster was talking about.
For some strange reason, you took a personal nickname thats right a nickname that no one else would ever use on another person, and you said how YOU would be hurt. How YOU think people should consider how "others" should be treated. Explain, please, how in the HELL a personal and loving nickname for one individual, David a 34 year old man with Down Syndrome living almost independently, suddenly became an offense against you and "others"?
This. This. Is where "people" get so fed up. Taking things completely out of context and making an issue out of a absolute NON-issue.
