Yes, we're going here again. I'm just going to talk about what types of jokes/phrases I'm referring to and what subjects commonly offend people.

What are Insensitive Phrases?
Insensitive phrases are phrases that play light on something that commonly hurts one's feelings and are commonly used as jokes, comparisons, metaphors, and similes. It is okay if one does not know that this makes someone uncomfortable/offends someone, but it is not okay if one continues to make these after told it made them uncomfortable. It is also rude to ask why. It doesn't matter if it is a joke. It doesn't matter if it is true. It doesn't matter if it's an opinion. It doesn't matter if it has happened to you. It. Doesn't. Matter. It still hurts them, whether it hurts you or not- whether you think it should hurt them or not.

Examples of Insensitive Phrases

 * /me doesn't get what they want and kills self
 * Geez, you don't have to cut yourself over it.
 * Lol ur acting like your parents just died or something
