It depends largely on context--where you are, and who is around you.
Unity is a "safe space," which means that members can expect a certain level of decorum being practiced in FC chat. This doesn't mean that people are required to sanitize their speech--there's no rules against dropping cluster F-bombs in FC chat (unless you start doing it so much it'd be considered spam).
But the whole "That's Offensive" issue becomes a lot more of an issue when you have certain types of communities. When you have lots and lots of people who have traumatic histories and pasts and may easily be triggered by certain topics, you have to be a little more concerned about what "offensive" really means outside of someone turning their nose up at you.
There's a whole world of difference between being mildly annoyed when someone cracks a sexual joke and being flung into a PTSD flashback and panic attack because someone made an extremely ill-advised rape joke.
Yeah; I take this topic seriously.
