      We do need a word for these kinda comments. People who are so dull, boring and insignificant that they spend their entire time online attempting to be offended at literally fucking everything and everyone

        I don’t think that’s what’s happening here and I don’t know of anyone who does that. Words do offend people, that is not something you have to try hard to do.

        I’m not a native English speaker and I don’t see how this could be offending. Or maybe this is some US thing?

          I’m trying to think what I need to say to get you to call me a necrophiliac 🤔
