Secondly, maybe its different with others but for me its simply not, people just feel their humor is threatened by more sensitive people but those person's feelings are more important then a cheap laugh, so the adult thing to do is to apologize and move on, not go out of your way to trigger them.

All I'm saying is, you can hold a gun to my head and ask me not to get offended by something, but because of who I am, because of the way I was born, I can't just not get offended by it, it's in my DNA, I'd be forced to say no and you'd have to shoot me. -Shrugs-
Unless you'd rather me lie and tell you "nah I won't be offended if you and your friends call me and my friend's retards 88,000 times".
Then ya'll act surprised when you get beat up for saying shit like this irl. "Dude wow, he beat me up all because I said the n-word." Like... are you stupid, do you not realize that's not okay? Half the people you say this kind of stuff to you'd NEVER say it to irl, because you'd get beat up for it and you know you would.
I feel like literally all the people who said they changed how they got offended are lying, you either started hanging out with a different crowd, something in your life CHANGED how you got offended by certain things.
You did NOT just wake up one day and say "hey that doesn't bother me". You can choose to laugh at it but deep down it still pisses you off, it's human nature. Being offended by things are normal, and no one has the right to tell you what you should and should not be offended by.
So yes I will keep getting "butthurt" about certain things because that's my god-given right as a human being who has feelings, just like literally everyone who isn't a sociopath.
It's not someone's fault that they got offended by your joke, THEY cannot help it, it's neither side's fault but it's your job as an adult if it does bother them to apologize and move on, it's the right thing to do, and a self-respecting adult should only ever try to do the "right" thing.
Getting offended is an emotional reaction, if you can't get over whatever mental hang-ups are causing the reaction. try therapy.
