I’ve been called an SJW for politely asking people to stop saying “retarded” or the n-word (or saying things that sound close to the n-word to allude to it). So even if you politely ask, some people will interpret it as an us-vs-them fight anyway.
I think the triggered liberal comment was an attempt at levity to make the feedback less harsh so that people might have a less visceral reaction.

People don't like bad faith being injected into their speech, and its absolutely appropriate to treat such attempts as an act of aggression, because it is.
If you're just memeing then carry on. It doesn't really bother me, I just never really understand the call-to-political-arms mentality for this kinda stuff, because it doesn't really change how people talk in my experience - it only changes who they talk to, which I think is counter-productive for society. A society built on private chatrooms is just putting everyone deeper into their own echo chamber.
