If understood as being directed at some individual, of course it would be insulting!
By phrasing generically it as you did, you insult EVERYONE who participates in the meme. ANYONE who did it is engaging in "nauseating, revolting behaviour", "puerile behaviour", and "mind-rot".
How can you not see that? Is this some sort of semantic game for you?
I'm capable of seeing it from that such a perspective, it's just that I never do that unless someone points out the need to do so.
If so, I can only imagine what kind of problems this causes you in daily life.
It's too much effort to always run everything through a "if I was a sensitive person/someone who takes things personally/[whatever term works best here]" filter.
I think it's wrong (morally and factually) for you to imply that anyone who found your post offensive is somehow hypersensitive. You should be calling it an "if I were a normal, socially well-adjusted person who recognized the boundaries of acceptable discourse and realized what normal well-adjusted people find offensive" filter.
I lapse on occasion, and would prefer that people accept that (and a subsequent apology) rather than assuming there's only one way to interpret it.
I'm afraid you don't seem to get it. Here you're implying that it's somehow the fault of others for "misunderstanding" you and "overreacting".

It's not.
