Let me make sure I'm understanding this right: It's not merely enough for it to be culturally taboo to criticize spending $20 billion a year on space missions -- we now have to watch out for accidental microaggressions?

It's 2019, if you breath chances are you're pico-aggressing someone. People spend more time being outraged about something than time actually trying to solve (or even understand) the underlying issue. The best part is that people are sensitive about topics that have nothing to do with them. Ask Buzz Aldrin what he thinks about "moonshot" he'll probably tell you he doesn't give a flying fuck. Let's call it outrage by proxy.
