    I’m watching a science fiction movie and it suddenly starts focusing on black history instead.

    So I’m offended by that bait and switch, or whatever you call it.

    Is that valid?

      Why choose “offended” as the verb here? I’m not saying I’ve never seeing an offensive movie… But what you described is an annoyance at most.

      It’s almost as if you are claiming offense to be contrarian.

          So the OP described an experience of black history erasure. You chimed in with a hypothetical movie that you wouldn’t be offended by but wouldn’t enjoy, but you used the term “offended” just so you could participate and make the experience about you?

              To answer your question, no it is not valid. The fact that you don’t actually stand by the word offended really answers yourself.
