"I find this sad and also hilarious," Ragtime lyricist
Lynn Ahrens told Playbill.com June 27. "It seems
to sum up the blind ignorance of people who sit
busily cherry-picking bad words, while not even
bothering to read the script they are producing to
understand its ideas or the context in which these
words are spoken.
Not to the point of whether people outside deserve to be
exposed to this who did not consent to overhear it. For
comparison, let's say a consenting adult audience were
watching (artistically justified) full-frontal nudity in a
park, and the image were visible to other people walking the
perimeter of the park area.
You don't have the right to be free from the risk of being
offended.
People can be nude: being offended by it is a personal choice.
Words have no more power than we allow them to have.
