Fast Company Offends DarkCyber
March 6, 2020
The write up is “These Are the Reasons Why You Find Something Offensive.” Several facets of the article offended DarkCyber, an entity not known for its keen sensitivity and heightened empathetic responses.
Here’s what offended us in the write up:
- Judgment spelled this way: “judgement”. Ah, the editorial acumen of Planet Fitness.
- The insight that in-group solidarity accepts and possible encourages offensive language.
- The use of the term “foreseeability expectations” in a publication aimed as the Silicon Valley types who did not take sociology in college.
But the major offender is the inclusion of this passage in the write up:
You may not like what others are saying, but the chances are you can take some comfort from knowing that what has offended you might be rooted in the many different experiences and worldviews we all have. If you don’t see any code above, please get new code from the Advanced tab after you click the republish button. The page counter does not collect any personal data.

What code above? What’s the tab? What’s the dead link thing?
Talk about great editing is unlikely to include the Fast Company approach.
