But it's not everyone else's responsibility to stop using a word just because it may have a bad meaning to someone. Just because something CAN be used as a slur doesn't mean it IS. And that doesn't mean we need to censor that word in all cases.

There are a lot of every day words that could offend me if someone used them to directly insult me, that doesn't mean I would ask someone to stop using the word. Even if I come to associate the word as bad in general, personal feelings are not the same as a general societal problem.

I mean to quote some of your earlier language, would someone calling themselves "the Bananas" for a band always be offensive? Or any of the other words you listed?
