"No one individual is able to dictate what any other individual will or will not find offensive, or to what measure". This is true. But at least with pictures there is some kind of definition involved. Lines are blurred only as to which of these belong to which offensive category. But being offended by words is different. Every word is fair game for the chopping block, not just a few. And the assumption lately is that everyone has the right to demand not to be offended even when the words aren't part of a personal attack. Taken to its logical conclusion we'll have to practically stop speaking.
