And I would just like to say: yes, if you are offended, your feelings are valid. Whether people respect them or not is a different story. You're not entitled to respect for your feelings, but on the other hand, you're also not entitled to be a dick about people's feelings and claim you're just being rational and logical.
When you mock people for being offended and emotional, you are also being emotional: you're feeling very, very smug.
I also find it rather... interesting... that this comic reframes Dr Pulaski as the offended party, rather than Data, as it was in the original. I do sure wonder if there's anything about Dr Pulaski that a certain segment of the population would identify as emotional and irrational.
well put on all points. Was trying to recall when Pulaski was anything but super-doc professional.
Tis but a meme.
This changes nothing. I could write a post and say it's "but a post". Write a book and say it's "but a book". Make a film and say "tis but a film". In fact, a meme is the perfect hiding place for any ideology. It is the carrier pigeon of thought. That is, in short, the purpose of memes.

The other party in the discussion is a robot

Hey I just got a 4 day ban from news at lemmyworld because I said the BT in LGBT meant Bluetooth. Did someone really get offended and think I thought that Bi Sexual and Trans people are actually computer hardware? It was such an obviously dumb joke that being so dumb was the joke.
That's... I'm at a loss for words
That's the sort of Reddit energy I've been missing
How dare you upset the established norm of any group with a joke that is even a tiny bit offensive.
Moderation on .world is really something else. Not even the most rabid subreddits were that bad.

Seems like you lost an argument in the shower and are venting here about how "unconcerned" you are.
Wasn't Data the one who was offended because she mispronounced his name?
Yep, subtle sexism I think, reframes the offended party as the woman
So being offended is a weakness?
Not offended. He just corrected her.
One is his name. The other is not.
Data cannot be offended.
This is slander against Dr. Pulowski
That's a Facebook tier meme. Beyond this it is making up an adversary and belittling them, which is not really a sign of maturity.
