You know that there are people out there who seriously can rise a ginormous stink about such things? Like calling "manholes" is offensive to them and stuff?
Social Media Era is pretty ****** in regard that any brain damaged lunatic can speak their opinion on the matter without a filter and himself followers.
Coupled with ultimate cynicism born of misreading of post-modernism and infantilism of the Western society, born out of having too much free time and a "protest" against corporations, which is tied to post-modern and socialist values, it leads to the results like "flat-earthers" and other less than reasonable groups, showing up and exercising an influence on general populace.
Social media and fast exchange of information led to the people seeking immediate gratification, thus spreading "culture" of sensationalist headlines and outrages.
TL;DR
People have too much free time and a means to show their inner stupidity to the rest of the world.
