We have a society in which one of the greatest things you can do is a platform to see victim status, and one of the qualifications for that is that you have these exquisitely tender feelings about things and sensibilities which are easily offended.

Generally speaking, I think one has to take reviews with a grain of salt, unless you know who the person is and what their qualifications are.
