No one is trying to shut down people who are speaking out that something offends them; people are speaking out against those claiming offense because those people want to change the rules to where they are the only ones who can speak out. That's the inherent irony, which is actually the opposite case of what you are saying. People are offended and are using their free speech in an attempt to end free speech. Those opposing are arguing back (like you're supposed to), not advocating for censorship. Totally different approaches.
