I believe the following clearly describes an aberration - an exception - to the normal course of events. In the normal course, those who use language more provocative than intended quietly revert it. In the incident under discussion (quoting from the original referenced article): "She, not being a native English-speaker, had accepted on trust a foreign-language name for her library. According to Holden, the revelation - and the attention to her unknowing complicity - brought about with the name was so uncomfortable for her that she quit working in open source altogether." Then, later "Smit [a collaborator with the original author] re-named Pantyshot/Upskirt after a Japanese name. Not just any name, but popularly belonging to an Anime (adult comics) character whose superpower is electricity, and is controversial due to notorious upskirt shots of the character - most especially as she is depicted as being 11 years old." As for my adjective "playful", I applied it to the situation because of this quote attributed to the original author: "I did know the sexual and voyeurism connotations of the word “upskirt” and I was very hesitant to actually use it. For the record, my limited grasp of slang English means that I genuinely had no idea where it lied on the offensiveness scale, and whether it could be covered up as something more harmless (and have it be more of an innuendo than of a basic offensive word)."
