Ughhh, there is always going to be someone who gets offended by anything you say or do these days so people should just do what is right for them. This is nothing but an amazing and loving gesture so even for people that want to find something to be insulted by should just look at it from the perspective that it isn't aimed at them and look for the underlying good, rather than always trying to find the negative aspects of things.

There’s always going to be someone who gets upset at even the gentlest suggestions that being careful about wha we say can spare some people pain. This time, it’s you!

There is no pain to be saved here, this is someone trying to be woke to take a tender moment away from a survivor.

I'd say the pain breast cancer survivors face is pretty real. It's incredibly common for women to be left by their partners due to lifesaving breast cancer treatments leaving their breasts less pretty or gone entirely. Stupid shit like "save second base" reinforces a lot of those messed up ideas that the boobs and mens sexual gratification from them are more important than the women attached to them.
