But there shouldn't be a double standard.
If we got rid of all art that insulted people directly, we'd have no art left lol

Listen to Alanis Morissette - Are You Still Mad (first song that popped in my head). The entire song is insulting its subject, but she does it without using any obscene words.

If we stop the use of the word, it won't stop insults at all.
