What I’m objecting to is fubarobfusco’s claim that it makes no sense to debate whether something is offensive and that the word of the offended is final.
Indeed. I’m offended at fubarobfusco’s claim that one cannot be offended by declarations of offense. It actually does literally “make me feel unsafe and unhappy” because that kind of social dynamic is, in my experience, rather toxic.

Yes, talk about offense is cheap. False claims suck. Speech codes are terrible.
