I honestly am not sure, so I put the question to my fellow capsuleers, probably the finest bunch of forum dwellers that has ever existed. What do you think? Do you believe people are more easily offended than ever? And what was your line that was crossed (if any)? And what do you suspect is the cause? Interested to hear peoples opinions on this.

Of course you can’t deal with jokes through generations. Old jokes that were once acceptable can get you fined today or even jailtime. In many countries.
People are less tolerant of divisive jokes, but more tolerant of other jokes broadly imo. More people over time see divisive jokes as racists/bigots trying to hide behind humor. But don’t go flying off the handle over “6-7 jokes” that older folks tend to.
Divisive describes something that causes disagreement, discord, or hostility, often splitting a group of people into opposing factions. IE racism, bigotry, and the like. Society has become less tolerant of it, and you are seeing people react to it.
I don’t think more people are easily offended, I think people nowadays use offense as ammo, as a backup for whatever justification that may come next, whether it was a joke or an outright insult.
When someone is “bothered” nobody cares but “OFFENDED!” OH Noes!! call the authorities…
Psychological and physical harm, and finding out how much I matter to most anyone.
I don’t think I am allowed to discuss that in here.

I don’t think this forum is the place, unless you want to clarify and define your last question so I know exactly what you’re asking because as it stands now it is too vague.
