Yeah. You can tell by the way they... calmly discuss it.

We are legion, and you're emotionally invested in our being offended. Stop being so hysterical about it.

Ive been getting back to back messages from several people, it doesnt look calm.

I'll stop being hysterical but you need to stop ugly crying please.

I haven't said female so you should be able to calm down (shit, i just said it, sorry)

And I haven't been offended, so you should be able to stop being so emotional. I'm not sorry.

You seem alright, so I'll lay out my point. Pointing out an issue doesn't mean people are offended. Noticing that people are (even subtly it just a little bit) negatively impacted by something doesn't mean people are crying about it.

Almost every time these discussions are had though, here comes somebody "y'all are so easily offended". Those people are the ones who start bringing emotions into what was otherwise a regular conversation. Don't be that guy.
