Agreed, and there are things I find offensive which don't get penalized in my games; just as there are things I personally don't find offensive but do. But "society's" decision is different in different areas. What's profane to someone in rural Iowa could be vastly different than what's profane in suburban Chicago. And yes, even the word at issue will get you different results in different areas.

Around here, it's an easy T; but I wouldn't be surprised to find there are areas where that's not the case.
