From what I understand, the outrage is from the Tweet opposed to the televised airing. People read the tweet without seeing the quote in context and got fired up. Typical left wingers at work. I think the whole issue is hilarious because it completely points out how people on opposing poles just act before they thing or research.

These Twitter shitstorms used to be a pain for the people involved, but I guess it's becoming a badge of honor.
I haven't heard anyone on #HasJustineLandedYet or Geoffrey Miller (or Tuth!) lately.
It's all so silly.

The philosopher Nietzsche spoke of an "Eternal Recurrence". It was the idea that we were doomed to repeat the events in the universe's history over and over again.
Judge for yourself.
Step 1: Angry, neurotic Korean-American girl "Suey" Park reads something she doesn't like on the internet. Working herself into a (sexually satisfying) frenzy, she drums up a campaign of fake outrage to convince other bored, listless losers to be outraged and angry along with her. She feels empowered by hurling accusations at people, reveling in the attention, just as the young female Salem witchcraft accusers felt empowered. Idea gains traction using Twitter hashtags.
Step 2. Angry, neurotic Filipino-American Michelle Malkin seizes upon the opportunity to score points against the perceived "liberal" bugbears she sees hiding under every couch. Her army of bored, uneducated, listless drones who want their hate-boners stroked (phrase stolen from Matt Forney) also work themselves into a frenzy.
Step 3. Chickenshit media outlet, not understanding what's happening, stammers helplessly about being more "sensitive" to everyone. Throws Colbert under the bus, who himself can't even figure out what all the fake outrage is about. Conservative organizations jump in to score points against fake "liberals." Meaningless back-and-forth of intellectual masturbation follows about race, class, sexism, dialogue, and gender.
Step 4. Rinse and repeat.
Now we know why poor Nietzsche was nearly driven insane by the idea of the Eternal Recurrence.
I probably should add a Step 5 to the above. Step 5 is: bewildered guy in internet forum wastes 10 minutes of his life typing random thoughts on all this bullshit. He'll never regain that 10 minutes.
Unless he waits for the universe to repeat itself, maybe, and hope he's a little wiser.

If it weren't for Suey Park's incessant need to be outraged at anything that ever offended her on Twitter, I might never have discovered the manosphere.
So for that, I say "thank you, you screeching shrew of a cunt".

But you can do this for lots of groups. Observe:

real conservative. What a crappy club to be in.

I love it when Asian Americans try and identify with "marginalized minorities".
She does realize that asians take up a radically disproportionate percentage of the UC system right? If they were being discriminated against, you think think they wouldn't be half of the student body...
Oh yeah, Asians also have a very high average income per household.
She can't take a joke, literally.
What a dumb bitch.

If she feels oppressed by living in a country founded by slave-owning white men, maybe she should move back to her ancestral homeland.
Another example of the unsustainability of multiculturalism. She surely has no issue with the vast amount of wealth and the tremendously advantaged lifestyle that the labors of white men past and present have afforded her, and yet she still harbors a stinging hatred and resentment for them.
