I was surprised, but knew better than to try and argue. 

We have a guy walking around the building dressed as a girl, and this is offensive.  What a mixed up world. 

I even showed my wife and she didn't even notice the 'female' dragon until she realized that there was something to look for that would be offensive.


SHARP - Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention

OK, I give up, what's offensive about it, or what did the sharp Nazi find that was offensive?

The busty female dragon? 

A lady a few offices down had posters of southern girls with guns and she was told to take them down.

The last job I had before where I am now, I assembled certain devices.  We had several test fixtures and "dummy" fittings used for assembly.  These are commonly called "slave" units, and to differentiate them from production hardware, they were clearly label with big letters, in black felt-pen, "SLAVE UNIT".  One person noticed this and filed a complaint with HR claiming it was racially motivated/offensive, and I had to clean off the offending words and paint big red dots on them instead.

Since apparently I now have the right to never be offended can I slap the next idiot I see wearing a Che t-shirt?

SHARP - Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention

I guess you could've grabbed a roll of painter's tape & scissors, and asked her to be very specific about what part you must cover in order to hide the "offensive" part ... which, if you cut the shape very accurately could've been kinda funny. Cuz then she'd have to come back & ask you to replace that piece of tape with another one that extends outside the lines a little bit. But, how much is a 'little bit'?

Or, better yet, you could've responded to her by nodding in her general direction and saying, "It's no more offensive than that."

Is there a pc guidebook or was this strictly her arbitrary judgement and what qualifications does she have to make such a judgment?

You could have just responded that you are SHARPER... Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention with Education and Reason.  That it's just a make believe motorcycle poster, like Halloween costumes kids and adults wear... no more, no less.

Che T-shirt?

Che T-shirt?

I assume he means:

Che T-shirt?

Now I'm offended by my own post    Don't worry, I'll slap myself.

i am offended by the offensiveness i feel that is offending my rights as a non offender when some one on the post is offended by the offensive image that was offensive and that had offended an official offensive police that was obviously an offensive move by the offender in an offensive attempt to offend others. Further more i am offended by my own sentence above that will obviously offend others.

I find it offensive that you think others would be so easily offended. Not everyone is like Mary Jane Tinklepants, a well known but extremely delicate American girl, er, I mean Gyno- American!

Since we are all telling stories, at work last week, two white people on a film crew were sitting and waiting for some other people to arrive.  I was waiting with them.  They were talking about exposure and skin tone and three times used the terms "African American" and then "white" in the same sentence.  I asked why they didn't just say "black" and they responded it could be offensive.  Offensive???  So I decided to run with that. I told them it offends ME to hear every group of people spoken with a PC, special, zillion-syllable "XXXXXXX-American" term and then say "white" and then requested that they use the term "European American" instead in order to not offend me.  They seemed genuinely puzzled.

I find Euro American quite offensive.  I'm an English American.  I want nothing to do with continent of Europe unless it's drinking Polish or Dutch vodkas.
