> Except there isn't an agreed upon opinion, just a certain number of loud individuals trying to silence others

Again you are trying to make a strawman, claiming that it's just some minority and you are so brave for standing up to them.

It isn't. Open a dictionary and you'll find a number of words clearly defined as offensive.

Language isn't just an opinion of few people.

> I was saying that it's impossible to prove that something isn't offensive. Please take your time to actually understand posts you read before posting angry comments.

Spare us the BS.



> Again you are trying to make a strawman, claiming that it's just some minority

Are you implying that it's not? If so, do you have any reasoning to support that claim?

> Language isn't just an opinion of few people

Language is defined by how people use it. There is no central authority for the meaning, or level of offensiveness, of words.

> Spare us the BS.

Who's "us"? And what bullshit are you talking about exactly?

Your demeaning attitude is not appreciated.


> Your demeaning attitude is not appreciated.

You are easily offended it seems.


> You are easily offended it seems.

Spare us the bullshit.
