foutrage 

\fˈau̇t-ˌrāj\
noun
1. a feeling of extreme anger because of something that is perceived as bad, hurtful, or morally wrong but when viewed in a rational context is really harmless, benign and insignificant.

2. a combination of the words False and Outrage used to describe unjustified anger or resentment over a petty issue.
Examples

First use: 21st century
