I agree that getting fake offended is a really annoying part of contemporary American culture.

However, isn't getting fake offended at people who are fake offended also annoying?

Hence, a website like Jezebel posts a "scandalous" story meant to make people angry, and get them to say things like, "ugh, Americans are so [insert form of prejudice regarding strong oppressing the weak]."

Then, a website like The Blaze posts a "scandalous" story meant to make people angry at people who got angry, and get them to say things like "ugh, everyone is such a [insert some form of disgust at the weak oppressing the strong, funny, rich, etc.]

Why not just ignore the whole thing as being utterly beneath anyone with sense?
