    We’re truly fucked as a society if the word “stole” offends/triggers/shocks anyone.

      It offends advertisers. To be honest I would be really interested in seeing if anyone has actually studied if any of this shit even does anything. Like it seems like complete nonsense that seeing a coca cola ad next to a post about theft would make someone less likely to buy coke in the future but we are currently ruining society based on this premise.

      as a thief, I am offended. btw I’m suing you because your transgender flag in your bedroom triggered my PTSD when I was “re-appropriating” it.
