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.
49well put on all points. Was trying to recall when Pulaski was anything but super-doc professional.

The other party in the discussion is a robot

3Sometimes people are just being emotional, and staying calm and being rational doesn't necessarily mean you're being smug.
Smugness is about taking joy in your own self-image. Flatly stating the facts is not smugness.

I know.

I know! I specifically mentioned "mocking".

Tis but a meme.
-13This 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.

In the actual scene they're coming to an understanding about his name.

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.
25That's the sort of Reddit energy I've been missing
14That's... I'm at a loss for words
14How dare you upset the established norm of any group with a joke that is even a tiny bit offensive.
9Moderation on .world is really something else. Not even the most rabid subreddits were that bad.

Wasn't Data the one who was offended because she mispronounced his name?
22Yep, subtle sexism I think, reframes the offended party as the woman

Not offended. He just corrected her.
10One is his name. The other is not.

Data cannot be offended.

Seems like you lost an argument in the shower and are venting here about how "unconcerned" you are.
14This is slander against Dr. Pulowski
8That's a Facebook tier meme. Beyond this it is making up an adversary and belittling them, which is not really a sign of maturity.
