Go ahead Escapists. Offend me!
The problem is that in order to truly offend someone you have to know them personally. This is why I find it funny when, say, an atheist claims to be offended because they put a statue of the Ten Commandments in a public park. It has absolutely nothing to do with said atheist or their beliefs. It's something they might disagree with, certainly, but it's nothing to get offended about.
To be truly offended, something must strike at your very core, and just having a surface bio of someone isn't enough to come up with an "attack" that offends them. For instance, a racist going on a rant and dropping N-Bombs every other sentence is offensive to black people (at least here in America, and I can only imagine around the world) because it harkens back to a time period when nearly everyone thought that way and it's what led to an entire race being rounded up for slavery.
Simply saying that "you're a fat 17 year old loser who lives with his parents and will likely end up in their basement weezing over a bag of cheetos while pwning newbies in PvP WoW and thinking you're a badass for it" is just a random insult that's no more offensive than a Yo' Momma joke.
In short: when people say they're "offended" by something, most of the time it's because they've chosen to be offended by it. This doesn't mean that they were "truly" offended by it, it just means they're entitled little pricks that feel society should bend to meet their every whim. A sensible atheist sees the 10 Commandments statue in the park and just ignores it. A bitchy atheist files a complaint with the city.
