    I mean, yes. In some cases on some issues, some people get offended at things that are frankly a waste of anger.

    Agreed. Though I’m not sure how this is a good example, as the PR just fixed it without any anger or offence taken.

    Then, there was anger after the PR got rejected because apparently being inclusive to women is ‘political’. This is where you can see that the maintainer didn’t just make a mistake, they made a choice and are sticking with it for reasons. This is where it becomes an issue.
