The issue is more "Offensive" depends very much on context - not a black and white state.
There are contexts that quote would not be offensive to anyone (more casual settings with a group that trusts each other), but also contexts where everyone would find it offensive, no matter their age or generation.
- politician 5y agoYou need to train models on everyone's own labels. As you've said, "offensive" is context-dependent and each listener is huge part of that context.
- StanislavPetrov 5y agoWhich is why its futile and counterproductive to have content-based mass censorship. Offensiveness is completely subjective. Give everyone a mute button and a blacklist for them to block out any posts with whatever whatever words they are too fragile to see and let people decide for themselves. On large social media platforms it would be far better if we went back to the old system of banning spammers and people posting explicitly illegal content and letting everything else sort itself out.
