Because there is now a culture of co-opting or manufacturing outrage as part of some sort of ridiculous social justice movement. Unfortunately twitter, tumbler, etc gives idiots a loud mouthpiece for things like this when previously they would have just been ignored.

What if your local football team was trying to recruit more technically minded people and tweeted this:

    YO GEEKTARDS: y u nerds no apply yet? only 6 days left!

Would it be 'manufacturing outrage' if you made a comment about that not being the best way to go about things?

Wouldn't offend me, but I wouldn't expect them to get many applications either.
