I’m of the view that taking offence is a choice. One can choose to not be angry or upset by someone else’s words or actions, and instead respond by being curious... Being offended on someone else’s behalf is perhaps more about the desire to control?

I find that taking offense for others, especially online, is more often than not virtue signaling. Sadly, for most people, having a good character for its own sake is not the goal. To them, morality is more or less a status game they want to win.
