It would definitely be interesting to hear more from AHappyCamper on what offending that they're doing that they're trying to solve. Are they trying to get support from the government, but government officials are offended that they use the term "Black Market" in their communications and refuse to engage with them? Are they trying to raise public awareness, but their posts are being flood with replies demonizing them for using the term "Black", and so they feel they're not able to effectively spread the message? Are their efforts proceeding exactly as hoped, but the media is demonizing them for using the term "Black"? Or maybe a grandma facebook group? And they feel slighted when they are trying to bring about this great benefit for the world? Are they not actually seeing any offense at all and just want people to beat down a strawman for them?
