"some consider hateful"...

There will always be "some people" to consider anything hateful. Maybe we should just all stop communicating with each other, so nobody gets "hurt".

Societies, yes.

But when compones do it, they will use the lowest bar, because they have a financial interest to keep even the most unreasonable person as a customer.
