The concept of using an offensive word to reclaim power is silly

"They took away my rights for freedom of speech"
They didn't take away her freedom of speech, they removed some pictures from a government run building. She can still post the pictures online or display them anywhere else if the owner is ok with it.
I think Adoseofbuckley said best,
"You have a right to freedom of speech. You don't have a right to an audience"

How do pictures of word cause offense? If I punch you in the mouth and knock out your teeth, that is me committing an offense.
If someone displays a photo and then someone chooses to take offense, that's their problem. This idea of censoring shit because people take offense is no different that when the religious censor shit because they consider it blasphemy.

How is this cencership?
Nobody is preventing her from displaying the pictures somwhere else, she isn't being punished for taking these pictuse.
They were removed because the people who run the building (one frequented by children) were getting complaints.
For the lfe of me I can't remember a time outside of protests when the using the Pussy to refer to a vagina has ever been acceptable in public. Our society had put that word on the no no list a long time ago.
People on the internet seem to forget that they are just one person with opions of just one peson, they are not the majority.

There has to be a line of decency somewhere.
If these were porn pics in the library & you wanted to take your young children in there I'm sure your idea of "offense" would line up with the people who complained about these pics. It seems like they probably just didn't want to hear their rkids use the word "pussy". It's understanable.
