> words are not harmful

Then they're not beneficial either. Right?

But this is a very old game of indirectly signaling one's pretensions of superior human quality by implying that things others consider harmful are do not qualify as harms to themselves, and thus less important than the freedoms that they desire to have, some of which may inflict those harms on others.



Right. Those are not real harms, and the freedom to use words is always more important.
