Not sure I agree, when I was 7 or eight I would cry if I was called fat (and every other fat related slur you could imagine) but later in life that stopped when I naturally lost the puppy fat and “conformed” to what some considered an acceptable appearance, now in mid life and carrying some timber, I occasionally hear the odd fat related comment once again. However, I’ve never taken offence, no matter if there was some malice behind the occasional barb.None taken m8
IMO there’s nothing new about people being offended. What’s more recent is people going after the offended for not conforming to their standards (or lack there of). So much so that the very act of ‘being offended’ is classed as weak or thin skinned.
Empathy had become a lost fucking art...and the problem is, it’s the basis of understanding each other.

At my age I think it would be churlish to get upset over something someone says.
I choose to ignore it, or laugh at the ignorance.
I don’t need or want “empathy” from anyone, I just don’t surround myself with ignorant people.
And I’m sure I’ve offended some people on my way through this life, and there are many who’s opinions differ from mine, but I’ve never meant to cause offence, and can honestly say there is no one I wouldn’t share a drink with.
I can’t help thinking, if your easily upset by an ignorant comment, what the hell are you going to be like if you loose your job or your home due to a political decision?

Thought wrongJust thought we’d get back on topic
Yeah I am high functioning and one of my bug bears is the condescending way all autistic people are treated as if they’re low functioning and in need of protection as special snowflakes TBH. Many many autistic people are great and robust. My partner is also on the spectrum and her brother is far further down it, we joke about it in these terms (“autistic screeching”, “don’t be so autistic”, etc) and it normalises it in the same way I take the piss out of a mates big ears or being short. The fact is that most of these phrases likely comes from autistic people themselves makes me uncomfortable with others feeing they need to police the language TBH. I’ve got a mate in a wheelchair and we joke about being “crippled” too. That’s actual inclusion IMO, I treat him the same as anyone else I’m mates with and I don’t walk on eggshells.
The wider point still stands even if o wasn’t autistic, which is this level of language policing is ridiculous. Ive had it before using the word “cancer” when that’s the proper usage of the word and the disease is named after it! Same with “rape”, these words have multiple meanings and our language is beautiful because of how it can use them. Stopping someone saying “you’re being autistic” or “Sisu are a cancer on the club” or “Joy has raped the club” does literally nothing to help autistic people, cancer patients, or sexual assault survivors, it’s just Poe faced virtue signalling that if anything serves to further other minorities and make people more on edge around them.
I like that bit about being offended by people being offended, I’m definitely going to use that and demand apologies.You do realise that you’re basically being offended by people being offended?
For me, the disconnect is the way people can’t accept that everyone is different.
It’s the same in every aspect of life. Republican / Democrat...Religious / Atheist... all clamoring to be ‘right’. Being right is moot because life is totally personal.
Why not just call him a c**t, tell him to fuck off, and get back to all things football?So your answer is just to ignore ignorance and not call out shitty behaviour? Fair fucks mate if that's how you want to live your life, personally I want to try and make the world a better place and hope that people can learn and grow from being called out for shitty behaviour, it's the only way as a species we are going to get better
I think he might start at lwb if we keep the same formation.... Seems to be very highly thought of

I'm not sure about that as he is predominantly a right back.
All of our width comes from our wing backs, assuming the same formation, so I really think we need a left footed LWB.
Unless of course he can use both feet, then yes I would agree with you.

Yes, but you haven't. You've made this thread a worse place.So your answer is just to ignore ignorance and not call out shitty behaviour?

The funny thing is, you can't even see it.
LMAOStarting to merge the two things together now. Won't be long before I start thinking Dacosta is autistic.

Anything over that a bonus I guess.
Hopefully likes of hyam rose Shipley Westbrooke godden Kelly allen etc can make step up to championship. I think majority of them can
Would welcome that as increasing squad depth quality can only be a big thingJust going off the Yohou link but I think we'll be after a CB as well. I reckon one of Williams or Drysdale will be loaned out which leaves us light in the event of injuries.

Still question of how jobello kstaneer and Jones fit in too
I know we can change formstion but i don't see it happening till we are desperate. Wonder if we are looking to offload them or retrain their positions slightly
Yeah but he's two footed, maybe.Starting to merge the two things together now. Won't be long before I start thinking Dacosta is autistic.
JJ can play on the wing and AM. I think he was positioned at AM before the season was curtailed in the U23s and performed pretty well according to reports. The season ending was probably the worst thing for him as he was in the midst of getting his match sharpness back. So I think once next season starts he'll be playing in the U23s again at least for the first couple of months as I'm not sure whether a few pre-season games will be enough for him to get that match sharpness back.
I think MR will almost certainly be looking to offload Kastaneer either permanently or on loan given he wasn't even making an appearance for the U23s towards the end of our season.
It's pretty common for managers to use a couple of core formations so to fit Jobello in I think we'll probably use the 4-3-3 and the 5-2-2-1 next season. When he eventually gets his match sharpness back it gives us an option to use JJ too.
We need cover for holding midfield Kelly always picks up the odd injury & needs a break at some point,Hamer as I thought will be Walsh replacement but we need cover in that role.Another striker,Attacking Midfielder & a first choice left wing back mason will be used as backup,I liked what I seen from Giles in his brief spell.
It's all good, I have no issue with people finding it funny/getting upset when they called out for shitty behaviour.
Tbf the thread was derailed not by me but by the person who decided to use autism as a derogatory insult to people who didnt agree with him and then got pissy when me and others pointed out that fact, if he hadn't done that then it wouldn't have happened
