I also dislike the current favorite smug, annoying response to people with negative or pessimistic opinions that someone doesn't agree with: showing false, mocking, sympathy to the person for how supposedly miserable their opinion must make them.

Like in the rape thread: "I'm sorry you're so petrified of the world. I hope you find the help you need."

Or in response to a negative movie review "I'm sorry you're so offended by everything. It must be exhausting/it must suck to be you."

A person does is not either constantly positive and never bothered by any minor thing OR constantly miserable/petrified/exhausted. When did it become impossible to experience a normal range of emotions?

And of course, being bothered or offended by one thing, (even if it is minor and insignificant!) does not mean that the person is "offended by everything" or "constantly" offended. I find it hard to believe that anybody has never been bothered by some minor thing at least once. It's totally normal.

But the only point of this argument is to dismiss the person's opinion by making them look like a crazy, obsessive wingnut (and maybe annoy them with condescending sarcasm at the same time).

I ask myself that every time I get on the internet. Because almost all I ever see is anger.

Ah, the famous non-apology used to indicate that someone else is being too sensitive. Typically used to deflect and deny responsibility. Often used by assholes who are in fact the ones deeply lacking in sensitivity.
