They Gnu 11,553 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 An anonymous hack in the Scotsman used what I thought was a strange line when writing talking about Connor Goldsons thoughts on Thursdays game. The Wolverhampton born player CLAIMED he had never experienced an atmosphere like it? Is he suggesting he’s lying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hilarious how folk take offence at being accused of being offended when they're being offended these days. There's nothing wrong with being offended, by the way. It's natural, it's not a crime. It's just a bit silly in this particular instance.

slimjim1690 4,534 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 See this is what the bheggers have created with their mock offendedness, people saying they're offended when they're not really offended just annoyed, it's a travesty that nowadays we can't tell if someone is really offended, the word offended now means nothing because we can't tell if they are really offended by a perceived offence, or if the perceived offence is really offensive, I really am offended by this state of affairs, or maybe I'm just annoyed it's hard to tell.

The Wolverhampton born player CLAIMED he had never experienced an atmosphere like it? Is he suggesting he’s lying. Yes, it's a fair point. Using "claimed" in this context is clunky and inappropriate. A decent journalist might use "claimed" if the subject's actions (or motivation for said actions) were being called into question or if the subject benefitted from stating something and therefore a degree of cynicism was appropriate. In this context, however, Goldson is simply relaying what a fantastic atmosphere there was at the game (i.e. no possible agenda). Personally, I see this as just typically inept reporting rather than a scum-friendly journo on the wind up. But I guess you never know...

I think people don't understand what being offended means. It's been built into this big thing that nobody should ever be, and people take exception to being called it because the idea of being offended has been ridiculed so much recently. In actual fact, being 'annoyed' is part of what it means to be offended. Being offended IS being annoyed. It's in the actual definition. So I don't see why you'd be fine to be called annoyed, but irritated to be called offended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
