My company just had a new opening for bike messenger... Boss told me he wants no triathletes, they are too soft. Guess OP just proved him right.

A bike messenger needs at least 8 local brewery stickers on your car, been in college for 6 years, owns 7 bikes, has at least 5 years of facial hair growth in dreds, 3 piercings, no rear derailleur, and 9 tattoos.

Discriminates against people who don't have the means to acquire plastic bikes/components
Certainly elitist, possibly racist

It’s the whole snowflake issue that has been talked about for the past few years. People determine something is offensive because of what they associate the term with and therefore they are mad about it. No one can fix what you want to associate a term with, even if it is in not actually what the term means in the context of what it is used for.
Dude, get some perspective. One person pointed out some words he found problematic on here and we have 7 pages of overly sensitive man-children up in arms about it.
Not up in arms. Mostly mocking his outrage over fairly benign terms.
everyone should listen to BLeP. If anyone should be in a constant state of butthurt, it's BLeP. And yet, we hear no complaints.
;-)
As a gay man, I take it as my personal responsibility to be offended by the term "butthurt" for every male homosexual everywhere.

Just riding a bike at all is super offensive to those cultures that didn't have wheels until invaders showed up with them. Look at those cyclists, all smug with their advanced conquistador technology and smallpox immunity.
And "Specialized" implies that you're better at something than other people. How dare they?

Let me say: it's not that funny, and doesn't really apply ... I mean any earworm can be offensive, I guess?
YMMV

Hello jt10000 and All,
https://www.inquisitr.com/...ally-correct-speech/
"Bill Murray and Tim Allen are among countless influential comedians speaking out against the strict enforcement of politically correct speech. The fierce defense of the politically correct culture makes comedy more difficult. According to the Daily Aztec, it also “halts progression and conversation” on college campuses and impedes free speech.
Tim Allen, Dennis Prager, and Adam Carolla are making a feature film called No Safe Spaces, in defense of the right to free speech. According to Fox News, the insightful docudrama starring Tim Allen will explore the phenomenon of politically correct speech and its enforcement, on college campuses, in Hollywood, and in comedy."
Cheers, Neal

I agree with JT. Not kidding at all.
He made an observation and a reasonable suggestion. Nothing more.
If you're threatened by what he's done, then your life is blessed.
