I think that's too generous. I've definitely met people who just enjoy feeling indignation at anything.

Lets be realistic, that's most people. Everyone thinks their pet causes to get offended about are justified. Even people getting indignant about cancel culture are enjoying their indignation.

Funny; since you are right now bringing up this group of people to express indignation towards their behavior.

There's a difference between laughing at and being outraged by. Pointing and laughing is perfectly reasonable, getting bent out of shape over imagined slights is paranoia.

Despite you using the word 'funny' I don't think you were laughing while posting that whereas the GP was.
