People who aren't easily offended, what is offensive to you?

This irritates me to no end.

Some people seem utterly incapable of handling something that doesn't have 100% progressive characters. The second something has a character who isn't 100% likeable, or if the work isn't 100% perfect, it's trash.

I'm a bisexual feminist. I can still enjoy works of fiction even while recognizing that there are things about them that are troubling or flawed. I love nitro+CHiRAL visual novels, despite two of the games involving unavoidable rape of the protagonist. I enjoyed Saya no Uta despite the protagonist being an asshole with questionable sexual tastes. I adore Banana Fish, a series where the protagonist was a child prostitute and is repeatedly assaulted throughout the series. It doesn't take a genius to recognize that these things being present doesn't mean the author condones them.
