The idea that there has to be a consensus opinion before something should be considered hurtful is ridiculous. You don't need to hurt every single member of a marginalized group before it creates a problem for society as whole.

Tootoo does a great job absolutely.
And while I agree with your sentiment, but because everyone has different opinions about something, someone is always going to be offended. Take Aunt Jemima syrup, I never once looked at it and took offense to it, in fact, I don't know anyone who has. I feel like sometimes if you are the extreme minority (in opinion) that sometimes you have to accept it and not push your agenda over hurt feelings. There are always things in life we don't like.
