TSR I think we’ve finally made it!

If this was a publisher I'd never heard of, I would agree with you 100%. Without more information, it's best to assume no malice. If a lot of other people did the same thing, it would be a tribute, not an insult.

But we know a lot about NuTSR and Justin LaNasa. LaNasa is the guy who decided to "call out" ENWorld as being "full of [excrement]" during an interview. He's the guy that screams "You know nothing!" at people on his indiegogo campaign. He's the guy who told Tim Kask to "Go suck Lukes/ wotc / [anatomy] you [expletive] coward." I am happy to provide sources, and more, if needed. But I think it's pretty clear he's not the kind of guy that does "tongue-in-cheek". It's not a style I've ever seen him use since he started NuTSR.

Also related, the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum once made a post that said "Will what we create be racist, religionist, preffist, age-ist? Probably not". I can't help but focus on that word "probably".

Excellent. A mark of distinction... No doubt Ernie and Juice Lasagna are tittering about how 'triggered' ENWorld is. Although it is free advertising for their product I guess, editing warts and all.

Somebody’s got to advertise it. The author sure as h*ck isn’t.

I've read that as being more that they're not going to bother to check what they write for potentially offensive content (probably believing that "people go out of their way to be offended"), not that they'd deliberately be bigoted. But I could very well be wrong.

To me, this falls apart as an excuse when you intentionally write offensive content. You don't get to claim that you didn't mean to deliberately insult someone when you deliberately insult someone else.

LaNasa blatantly and intentionally went out of his way to antagonize ENWorld in this adventure. If he also antagonized anyone else, he can't claim that it's an accident. I would consider this the literary allegory of transferred intent.
