Just give up. If you’re lucky, you’ll be ignored. Otherwise, someone’s just gonna give you shit about it (and I say this from experience, I’ve had this argument in the comments for another image).
c.colloq. Used to indicate that some (frequently conventional) metaphorical or hyperbolical expression is to be taken in the strongest admissible sense: ‘virtually, as good as’; (also) ‘completely, utterly, absolutely’. Now one of the most common uses, although often considered irregular in standard English since it reverses the original sense of literally (‘not figuratively or metaphorically’).
Hey, I don’t like it either, I’m just saying I don’t think it’s worth picking a fight with this particular windmill.
Fine.

Even the Oxford English Dictionary isn’t bothering any more:
The word has “literally” lost all meaning.
