Yes but there are many, many, many, MANY words that individuals find offensive that most other people do not ("lame," "dumb," "hysterical," "cunt," etc). The list is endless, endless. Is a kink meme mod really the one who should be regulating language use and forbidding ANY word that ANY one person finds offensive or problematic? Because that will be like 75% of the words in the English language.
It's really my opinion that there cannot be a safe space for kink and a safe place for everything else at the same time. In a kink meme, id-based linguistic expression and id-based fantasy should trump all, and I'm very disappointed and worried about what this first step into social-justice restriction means.
And it's not as simple as "just warn." It's impossible to warn for something you, or any reasonable person, never thought could be offensive, and the idea that mods will be deleting anything they see fit and requiring a warning at ANY complaint just makes this an environment where you have to watch every word, every theme, every possible implication of your porn at every moment. It's exhausting and anemic and kills enthusiasm dead, I've seen it time and again.
I really wish there were a default "CHOOSE NOT TO WARN FOR POSSIBLE OFFENSIVENESS" option in every comment header, so that those who are concerned about being offended might only read SPECIFIC headers written by people who ARE fine with watching every word/theme/possible implication of their porn and subsequently put that work into it. Most of us do not.
