Just sayin'

Does my semen offend you? It would not offend me... In fact I'd find it a bit funny. But that's just me.

5. Perceiving it as poutrage seems as both as valid and as effective...

Interpreting it as poutrage seems as both as valid and as effective as the perception of the original offense itself. Though no doubt, a creative distinction lies within.

2. Getting outraged over that is privilege in and of itself

There are many many people who would love for something as small as that to be one of their biggest problems.

3. I guess that's the sort of reaction you get

4. Offended by a word. Certain words can be used and

considered to be a verbal assault. But the very word that represents the reason you exist as a human being is offensive? Maybe creamy Palmolive dish liquid should be considered offensive because it's been used in quite a few porn movies to represent semen.

6. He's out to get his twenty seconds of fame, I guess.

Loser. Does being ultra-tall somehow rob you of the ability to laugh?

7. that clickbait title really worked on me :)

I hate those "He was the world's tallest man. Then he was offended by THIS" type of headlines, but I just had to find out the back story.
