Well, I forgot to do the poll while I was there. Macklemore performed and drinks were 12 bucks a pop though, so that was fun.

 

[SmokyDave]

If I remember rightly, context and intent are irrelevant and whether something is offensive is decided by the offended.

So sorry, you're evidently a racist, and you should probably feel awful.

Gaffer is a racist word.

That's why you say 'Gaffa'.

The girl got pretty upset. She said that hipster is like saying nigger to a black person.

I hate to pile on but she also said she was a chiropractor by association since she works the front desk at a chiropractic office.

I didn't realize how off the wall she was.

She's not off the wall. She's quirky.

 

[trifelife]

OP, you should try to expand your vocabulary and come up with something more descriptive than "a little hipstery" because that means nothing.

 

[JDSN]

I have a dream that my four little cardigans will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their wool, but by the fake story of how I got them from salvation army.

 

[Kirlia]

She's not off the wall. She's quirky.

She's a goddamn idiot.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So... a typical social media consumer?

One drop of fair trade cold press rule

 

[ThatStupidLion]

hipsters aren't a thing anymore.

 

[freenudemacusers]

hipsters aren't a thing anymore.

It's all about normcore now, hipsters walk among us undetected.

 

[Pulka]

Hipster is The Nigger Of The World

 

[Stormhammer]

[Foxy Fox 39]

She's an idiot.

She's a hipster.

Oh man. I'm a lot of awesome things by association lol

 

[BlueBadger]

Classic hipster behaviour. You were right. Good call OP

 

[Not Spaceghost]

CLEARLY only a hipster would get offended at being call a hipster!

If this isn't a prime example of "white privilege", I dunno what is.

The OP has made no mention of the woman's race. What makes you think she was white?

Seriously

Who else would make that comparison

 

[J10]

It's not even as big as the premise is stupid.

 

[Takuan]

She was just being ironic and you totally didn't get it.

 

[brotherbean]

Is it common for people to get offended if they are asked where they're from? It seems pretty harmless to me, but I'm kind of Captain Oblivious to this sort of thing.

 

[triplestation]

i heard if you destroy him all the hipsters just shut off and drop dead

 

[Pinko Marx]

It's all about normcore now, hipsters walk among us undetected.

I had no idea normcore was a thing. I wish I didn't.
So basically people walk around dressed like they're from 90s sitcoms?
Its like the grunge style of clothing but made purposefully bland.

 

[dinazimmerman]

hipsters

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Good time to mention how horrible indie music is, gosh they all talk about the same thing.

I thought you were serious up to this point because honestly I have a hard time distinguishing a lot of indie rock.

 

[BKatastrophe]

You have to kill all of Coldplay at the same time, or else it won't work.

That was quick

Wouldn't killing off Coldplay make hipsters stronger?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Larry just said hipster!

 

[John Kowalski]

the original magical hipster

 

[DiscoJon]

What "hipster" originally meant.

HAHAHAHAHAH. No.

She's an overly sensitive asshole.

More like an overly insensitive asshole.

[wetwired]

She got offended at being called a hipster before it was cool

 

[NullPointer]

I haven't read the entire thread but was hoping to catch up on the GAF consensus on when its OK to use the h-word.

 

[BPoole]

You're too mainstream to understand that link

 

[Krappadizzle]

She's an idiot.

[Solid SOAP]

Calling a person a hipster does hold the same weight as calling a black person a nigger. Sorry!
