Sadly because of how society is, I really can't elaborate. This explains it somewhat though.

In other words you're bummed about how easily offended people tend to be these days

 

[devilof76]

Or, about how opportunistic those who wield their personal offense as a weapon tend to be. On the other side of the coin are those who seek to cause offense, and then cry 'snowflake' when someone is offended (which is its own brand of opportunism---I wonder which is more rotten).

Big part of it.

Society needs to find that balance, the happy medium.

Social media has given everybody a voice and fashioned them all equal. Then the mainstream media does their bit by reporting on the latest moron utterance as though it reflects a general attitude or disposition.

It's elsewhere too of course. There was this survey done recently about sexual harassment and assault on Australian university campuses, and it found that 70% of female students had been sexually harassed or assaulted whilst at university. Then you look at the survey questions and it includes as harassment "being looked at in a way that made you feel uncomfortable" and counts "public transport to and from university" as being "at university".

Based on these findings, reported as gospel and without interrogation by the MS media, universities introduced a raft of measures in response, thereby giving more credence to statistics based on subjective perception and external remit.

Andy Warhol was right that in the future, everyone gets their 15 mins of fame.
