Language is complex, as is intention. Such as: if you intend to take offense at a perceived slight, you will find one no matter what.
You want it to mean something, and therefore to you it does. That does not mean it was intended or perceived that way before you tried to make it so.
We can all assume people are out to get us, and take every opportunity to take offense to it, or we can get over ourselves and not project our own insecurities on the actions of everyone around us.
Am I the only one seeing this reply as dismissive? What's up with this "is ur problem if you see it like that" boomer mentality. Empathy goes a long way. Especially when the other poster was so eloquent with their reply.
I think it is the evolution of the " it's just a joke bro" mentality.
