Dude why even give them attention by making a thread about it? It just encourages them. Plus the irony is when you give them attention it just means (or makes it sound like anyways) that you are offended by them being offended. It is better to just laugh at something like this, shake your head and forget it ever happened.

It's a good point, maybe the best respons eis to start treating the professionally outraged as if they were trolls.  Just ignore them, and any acknowledgement of their existence simply feeds them.

The only reason these people exist is because the Internet. A) there have always been easily offended whiny bitches, but it used to be they had to be angry enough to sit down and write a letter that would probably never even be read half the time so only the most offended people would even bother to finish writing it but now the internet gives these people almost instant access and they can easily get attention.

And B) clickbait. Being offended on the internet sells, and by sells I mean gets clicks. People are basically pulling a type of fox news type move where they just have stir shit up and they get what they want: clicks. Because people love to fight over stupid shit.
