The Rock is making a bunch of people who feel insecure about their own behaviors and thoughts feel better by setting up the straw-man that other people are being overly sensitive. It's a tired trope of people who don't want to accept the reason people don't like them might just be because they're genuinely unpleasant. It's a great technique for getting mouth-breathers to vote for him if he decides to run, but I don't think it's going to fly with progressives and/or people who realize that every generation says this about every generation beneath them, and that maybe it's older people with their Hays Conventions and the like that might just be a bit more sensitive. If we're talking factually and historically.
