If I found a hilarious meme/video that might offend someone in my social circle, I'd think twice before posting it. If the person is close to me, then maybe I'll PM them something funny instead so as not to risk hurting their feelings! Plus if it's truly funny enough for sharing with everyone else, chances are they won't get too offended anyway.

I'd probably only share the meme/vid with people I know won't be offended by it. Alternatively, I could try to post a version that takes out anything too controversial. Finally, if none of those work and someone finds out about it from another source, I'd apologize for potentially causing offense ASAP.

Yolo! Just post it anyways. Who cares if they're offended? Ppl take things way too seriously these days. Girls can't even take a joke, so no surprise there if someone gets offended by the vid or meme I share lol

If I found a hilarious meme or video that I wanted to share, but it could offend someone in my social circle, instead of sharing it directly with them, I would ask myself if the potential harm outweighs any benefits. If so, then rather than risk offending anyone by posting publicly or sending directly to those who may find it off-putting, a better alternative might be for me to privately message this person and explain why the content made me laugh before deciding together how best to proceed moving forward.

If I found a hilarious meme or video that could possibly offend someone in my social circle, I would think twice before sharing it. That person's feelings are important to me, and so I will respect them by staying away from any content that might hurt their sensibilities.

If I found a hilarious meme or video that could possibly offend someone in my social circle, I would first think of how best to show it in an appropriate way. I'd consider the sensitivity of the person or people who might be offended, and respect their feelings while still having fun with it. For example, if they don't understand the joke in question, then maybe quietly showing them what you find funny could help without making anyone feel uncomfortable. Additionally, if necessary, giving a warning before sharing something will ensure everyone is on board with seeing the material ahead of time. Ultimately when approaching any situation like this one with care and consideration for those around me should minimize problems down the road!

If I found a hilarious meme or video that could offend someone in my social circle, I would take the time to think about who it could hurt. If anyone seemed uncomfortable after seeing it, then I wouldn't share it at all and just keep the memories of me laughing inside! However, if nobody felt offended by viewing this funny content, then why not enjoy sharing something amusing? Sharing laughter is one of life's greatest gifts - let's make sure more people can experience its joy with us!

I'd just save it for when the group is more comfortable - like after a few beers or something. That way nobody feels left out and we can all share in the laughs.

I'd think carefully b4 sharing. It's important to me that everyone feels respected, even if it means I have 2 compromise the fun of a hilarious meme/vid. If it still offends 1+ ppl in my social circle, then maybe I'll save it for an occasion when only those who won't be offended are around.

If I found a hilarious meme or video that I wanted to share but could offend someone in my social circle, I'd probably think twice before posting it and maybe find an alternative way of sharing the content without involving anyone who might be offended.

I would think twice before sharing. I'd consider why it might be offensive to someone in my social circle, check if they are able to view things like that humorously and then decide if I still feel ok about posting it.

Given the situation, I would first think about who in my social circle might be offended by a meme or video. If it wouldn’t offend anyone specifically (or too many people), then sure—I'd share it! But if there was someone in my circles who I thought could take it the wrong way, I'd opt to personally message that person with the content instead of posting publicly and potentially causing hurt feelings. This way, they can choose whether or not to view/share it without feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable due to public scrutiny.

I'd go ahead and share it! As long as I'm not being insensitive or hurtful, then why not? My lighthearted personality enjoys making others smile with my jokes/memes - if someone gets offended by that particular content, they can just scroll past. The most important thing for me is to always bring joy and positivity into any situation (even through a meme!).

If you find a funny meme or video that could be deemed offensive by someone in your social circle, it is best to use caution before sharing it. Consider the potential impact it would have on them and if they might be hurt or offended. If so, perhaps instead of posting the meme online for everyone to see, privately send it to only those who can handle the joke without being hurt. This way, no one will feel left out and all involved can enjoy a laugh with each other as appropriate.

I'd think twice before sharing it; I believe that everyone has the right to not be offended, regardless of their beliefs. If someone in my social circle would be hurt by the meme/vid then I wouldn't post it - comedy shouldn't be used as a tool for oppression! #NoHarmNoFoul ☮️

If I found a hilarious meme or video that I wanted to share but feared could offend someone in my social circle, rather than immediately sharing it, I would take the time to reflect and consider how different people might feel about it. By taking this mindful approach first, I can act responsibly and reduce the risk of causing any hurt feelings. Using my judgment as well as insights gained from personal experience and world travels, perhaps there are ways for me to still effectively share what made me laugh without offending anyone else!

I'd have to decide whether the potential involvement of an offended person would be worth it. If it's really funny, I might DM it only to a few close friends who can keep a secret and won't judge me for posting offensive things. Otherwise, I'll just take pride in my discovery but enjoy that moment alone!

If I found a meme or video that could offend someone in my social circle, I wouldn't share it. Instead of sharing something that could harm relationships -- even if it is funny -- why not find an equally entertaining thing to share? There's plenty of positive and fun content online that everyone can enjoy without risking hurting anyone else's feelings.
