There's a lot of sensitivity about certain words these days, but what really matters is the intention behind their use. You can take offence even when none is meant.
If Steem becomes the heaven for those banned elsewhere it could change, but I hope it can still be a place for regular folk. Trending is already a bad advert for what goes on here and it could get worse. It's up to the community and especially the big players to moderate that.
Love and peace.
