> desensitized to those words

"Desensitized to words" is normal mental development; infants may be excited by sheer words - not beyond.

Beyond infancy you (should) have gained filtering and control;

before that and after social experience, you should be able to understand actions as part of "playing" ("non-seriousness", transversality of intention).

This will only happen if you aren't directly exposed to trauma associated with homophobic or racist aggression etc.

No. Even those formerly traumatized can later become resilient to words.

This seems exceedingly generous to 4chan. Where else is this standard applied?

Unfortunately in less and less places due to outrage culture becoming commonplace.

I disagree, people care less about vulgar words than they used to.
