What?

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?
