I think it's worth noting that in the present day it's well worth taking a step back and looking to see if someone is being genuine or too sensitive when they claim to be offended by something related to an online debate involving fictional characters.
Much like the term 'racist', 'troll' and various other buzzwords 'offended' has become commonly misused. Does a line need to be drawn somewhere? Sure! Yet I'm confident in suggesting that it's a dangerous road to go down if we're going to stifle any debate the moment someone claims to be offended. It's a pretty direct route to misuse.
That's not to suggest that a line shouldn't be drawn somewhere, but...context is important. Describing a horrific accident in detail is just on a whole other level to engaging in a passionate debate regarding role-play.
