My god. Let people have stupid, consequence free fun. Calling this “harassment” just trivializes real and actually problematic harassment. 

Oh hell, would you generation please just SUCK IT UP?? Theyre just words! Stupid words left by stupid people! Move on with your life and stop letting your precious, delicate feelings get hurt by every little thing!!
