An unintended action or behavior that ends up being offensive or controversial to others. This typically occurs when someone is unaware of the cultural or social implications of their actions, leading to misunderstandings and potential discomfort for others. It is not deliberate, but it still can have a significant impact on relationships and social dynamics.

Hym "Again... My offense at the whore fucking that retard and the retard subsequently being brought women so no. Do the trans people offense matter to you? No. The only offense that matters to you is your own and it's only because you're not willing to not be the arbiter of superiority. Shill for the matriarchy or at least don't disparage it... Or else we get to take everything from you because freedom is doing what I want you to do..."
No. It's not a matter of offense.
Hym "No, you're using the word 'offense' to try to frame my reaction as hypocrisy and you're doing it to justify your own behavior. 'I'm doing this because you have a stance on "offense" that I disagree with, therefore, I'm allowed to "offend" you as much as I want. Because if you get offended the you're a hypocrite and my position is validated.' That's what you're really doing and your doing it because you're not smart enough to actually win the argument. Or even actually agrue you point. You're brains are dumb and mine are smart... And extra fuildy... But yeah... The only correlation between intelligence and gas station work is an inverse one."
Annoyance or resentment brought about by a perceived insult to or disregard for oneself or one's standards or principles.
