cause to feel upset, annoyed, or resentful.
Going off this definition my list is too long.
Stuff that I actually find offensive in more than just an annoying way though?
When people make fun of mentally handicap people. I do use the word retarded to mean stupid though but I've always hated it when people do the down syndrome impression which is pretty common in schools or at least it was when I was there.
I think I must have got this from my mum because she hates it and literally everyone I can think of that I knew would do impressions of down syndrome people and I hate that shit.
Trivialization of racism against white people.
Jokes about terminal illness, cancer things like that. I'm not going to say people should stop doing those jokes for my sake I just think it's too serious for me to find funny. I was pretty disturbed by a few family guy jokes involving cancer. I was just thinking about that before coincidentally.
I'm offended by insults against my family.
Definitely cruelty against animals too, including human beings as being part of the animal family. I fucking love when I meet someone else who loves animals for example cats dogs and so on, but someone who's cruel to animals it speaks a lot about them.
There's loads of things that could potentially offend me, I mean if someone was to knock on my door and say bloody hell you're an ugly lookin twat and I heard you play guitar it was fuckin awful. I'd be offended then but I just don't come across this type of thing often.
Things that you might be surprised don't offend me.
Racial slurs against white people don't offend me, my ex who was Bengali called me honky, I called her chocolate cheeks, it means nothing to me. Just so long as theirs an acknowledgement that they are racial slurs there's no problem. I am white, I'm aware of it, it's cool.
Criticism or insults don't bother me too much if I've asked for an opinion. It only bothers me if someone goes out of their way to insult me.
I'm part Polish and I'm not offended when people say they don't want to live around Polish people. It's kind of stupid because often they will say it to me not knowing I am part Polish, I get that they mean they'd rather have shops of their own culture around and people who speak the English language rather than Polish. Unless they just genuinely hate Polish people on a genetic level or something like that then that's their own weird problem.
I'm used to a very northern working class environment where people call each other cunt, dick, prick all the time. If you come in wearing anything new it gets mocked. You wear a scarf you're the harry potter scarf wanker, dr who, mr snowman. You wear a new expensive hat then you're the posh hat tosser. You wear denim shorts and you're an 80s gay popstar. General insults like that I love rather than get offended by.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
