Apology was for people offended by an aquarium using teen slang to connect with today’s youth.

Truly a tragedy.

Teen slang? Thicc has been around online since around 2010, and IRL for even longer. That means anyone who was a teen when it became popularized is pushing 30 now.

If I understand it, it ain't teen slang.

Chloe is determined to be offended on someone else's behalf today tho

How did you gather she's offended from that single message? I don't see any words suggesting that. Perhaps you're overly defensive right now, and one might say, offended that someone sees things differently to you.
