Offended by proxy 

Someone who choses to be offended on behalf of someone else or a group. By assuming that they (the person or group) will be offended and responding in a virtues manner. By either silencing the other by calling them disrespectful or by blatantly denying factual information.

This is part of a tactic called Virtue Signalling often used by Libtards.

Usually in response to a statement or joke about the other person or group. In most cases the offended person is not related to the group he is offended for.
