We used to solve this problem by teaching people to have thicker skin so that we control the outrage regardless of the forum in which it occurs.
However for the last 10 years or so grievance culture has taken root and not only excused outrage, its proponents have actively encouraged it.
It makes me think of that scene in Star Wars where palpating is like “good, good. Let the hate flow through you”, expect we now have millions of people encouraging this.
How I wish we could rewind things to a world where foregiveness was still a virtue and we were all taught that sticks and stones may break our bones but words will never hurt us. Without such virtues, a world with outrage is inevitable.
