For me, things that I find offensive in real life are vastly more numerous than things I find offensive in fiction. Of the latter there aren't much I can't read. For example, I'm perfectly able to enjoy Austen, regardless of the fact that I'm fiercely independent in real life. Also, I can read and enjoy various politically incorrect fiction, but I cannot stand most of those things in real life. For me, fiction and life just aren't the same.
