I mean unless it's happening to an individual personally (which is understandable), but now it seems like society gets caught in the outrage machine from simple exposure.
The first 20 years of my life everyone but my immediate family were minorities, and if the media caught wind of even half the **** we say here, we'd all be doxxed, tared, and feathered for sure... quite scary times I think for someone who is not fully mentally/emotionally developed to have to be so hyper-critical about every little thing they write or tweet. I'm glad I wasn't raised with social media...
Anyway I think the criticism is frankly valid, it's just the emotional over-reaction to everything is getting a bit repetitive and domineering for me.

I do agree to a certain extent. I mean slogans have been put on T shirts for decades designed to shock and to make people think. So who cares?
The interesting thing in this particular case is that in order to be offended by the item, one would actually need to buy it and wear it. Which one would have thought would be an impossible set of circumstances.
