It's pretty incredible that such a benign statement caused so much ruckus! The misunderstanding is palpable.
I thought this was a joke, but then I see all this earnest, heated discussion over a non issue.
That's kinda funny, but sad that someone may be actually offended by this.
I love how people reacted to this like it was a serious comment.
It's ridiculous that this isn't getting more discussion, especially considering what is.
it's funny to me how worked up people on this website are getting about a mundane platitude.
Not sure people are 'bothered' by it, more amused at the irony. At least that's my reaction.
Wow, I didn't expect this to upset so many people. Just trying to inject some light-hearted humour.
Getting upset about this seems equally ridiculous tbh. It's just some lighthearted fun.
I don't get why some people are so up in arms about this, it's kind of funny I guess but it's not like it matters in the scheme of things.
