Cousin shunned from family events after giving 17-year-old cousin an inappropriate card game for his graduation party: 'I didn't know they were that sensitive'

Family gatherings can be something of a minefield when it comes to gift-giving, especially when there are different generations with different sensitivities spending time together. What might feel like a thoughtful and fun present to one person can land as wildly inappropriate to another. One year, my aunt's boyfriend got me a "haunted" vintage doll for Christmas; I thought it was hilarious, but my grandma sincerely thought it was cursed and got pretty upset over the fact that he brought it into the house – on a holiday, no less! It really demonstrated that sometimes, you have to be aware of your audience. 

One young man found themselves in this sort of family feud after giving his newly-graduated cousin both money and a party game to go with it. The graduate and his teenage friends seemed to be having fun playing until his mom stormed in, furious at what she considered to be "filth" in her own home. She threw the game out, scolded our narrator in front of everyone, and essentially banned him from all family gatherings. Months later, he's still being alienated, and he's wondering where he crossed the line, especially since he considers this game to be pretty tame compared to others in the same vein.
