> desensitized to those words

"Desensitized to words" is normal mental development; infants may be excited by sheer words - not beyond.

Beyond infancy you (should) have gained filtering and control;

before that and after social experience, you should be able to understand actions as part of "playing" ("non-seriousness", transversality of intention).

[AlecSchueler → mdp2021]

This will only happen if you aren't directly exposed to trauma associated with homophobic or racist aggression etc.

[buggyipadmettoo → AlecSchueler]

No. Even those formerly traumatized can later become resilient to words.

This seems exceedingly generous to 4chan. Where else is this standard applied?

[account42 → jamilton]

Unfortunately in less and less places due to outrage culture becoming commonplace.

[jamilton → account42]

I disagree, people care less about vulgar words than they used to.
