That's very silly. The times are ready for a new job title: software product namer, to make sure a name won't offend anyone or violate trademarks and store guidelines.

Honestly the real enemy (if people are genuinely offended I tend to side with them) is people being offended on behalf of other people.

It may be a little nastier than that.

In some cases, they're selective about which groups will and will not be sheltered from offense. And they may refuse to admit that, let alone engage in a public, civil debate about their choices.
