Don’t worry about offending others. It’s their choice whether or not they are offended. Those who choose to be offended were looking for something to be offended by anyway. What a miserable way to go through life.
It’s a poignant strip anyway. Our Western society seems to have become more fractured and fractious.

All the ""Secret Santa" gift exchange parties I have ever been to, the idea was to get the MOST offensive / embarrassing gifts possible within the declared price range.

It’s a secret. Buy what you want, but don’t put your name on it.

Just bring cookies or cake. Not your fault if the recipient is diabetic, but that wouldn’t be construed as an offensive gift. LOL

I aim to misbehave. It’s entertaining to watch the PC SJW heads explode when I do.

I find that it’s very easy to offend someone who wants to be offended.
