People get offended over everything but it's a pretty uniquely Indian thing to take over Twitter, mess up sites like IMDB, do constant enraged boycotts, etc. And it's a recent thing. They tasted blood when they did the Uninstall Flipkart trend and the company buckled and removed Aamir Khan as the ambassador. Since then, this small minority constantly harasses everyone and whines about everything and desecrates and manipulates sites like IMDB as punishment.
Couple of years ago, Twitter forced a Chinese American author to pull Blood Heir because she used slavery in a fantasy book set vaguely in Asia. For some reason, Americans seemed to think slavery was uniquely African American and the mention of it by any other culture was offensive.
She said she'd edit it but a few weeks later, published it pretty much unchanged.
Point is they forced a billion-dollar business to postpone the release. That, too, based on ignorance of incredible proportions.
I'm a silent reader on twitter, but I badly wanted to call them idiots. I mean, do they think history began in 1492?
