  • So only the definition that you prefer is valid. Not the actual meaning of the word.

    Who gets to decide what words mean?

    Do you also get bent out of shape when someone says Uncle Tom? Is that not insulting to historical Toms? This is your argument.

    Maybe wait for the family to tell people that they are offended instead of you pretending to be offended for them.

    • Virtue signaling – Expressing outrage to demonstrate one’s moral superiority or social awareness.

    • Vicarious offense-taking – Taking offense on behalf of someone else, particularly when that person isn’t offended.

    • Manufactured outrage – Deliberately pretending to be offended to create controversy.
