That's why the general internet ideal was no censorship until fairly recently. Pretty much the "hacker/tech/EFF" was the standard "you have the right to be offended".

Alternatively, "offense is in the mind of the beholder."

The other notable quote is "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."



But weirdly advocates only seem to come out of the woodwork to defend speech when it isn't supporting minority groups.
