Society is very much able to form opinions on what is widely considered offensive and what is not.
Except there isn't an agreed upon opinion, just a certain number of loud individuals trying to silence others, and everyone else who just quietly don't care.
You've been proven wrong right now.
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.

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.

Spare us the BS. Society is very much able to form opinions on what is widely considered offensive and what is not.
Case in point: legal proceedings for libel, threats and so on. Turns out society still gives meaning to words.

Are you implying that it's not? If so, do you have any reasoning to support that claim?
Language is defined by how people use it. There is no central authority for the meaning, or level of offensiveness, of words.
Who's "us"? And what bullshit are you talking about exactly?
Your demeaning attitude is not appreciated.
You are easily offended it seems.
Spare us the bullshit.
