Agreed. Speak for yourself or speak for your community.
That's a good call out. I do try this in practice, e.g., "some members of the Inuit community are pushing back against the term Eskimo, because it's an exonym"
By I do sometimes fall back to the passive voice.
The passive voice thing always gets me here. It omits who is doing the considering. It's not like some word suddenly is offensive. A small group of people decides the word is offensive and then they either succeed or not at dragging everyone else along with them.
"Is considered offensive" lends it a gravity that it doesn't deserve if you translate it: "some people whose opinions you may or may not value consider xyz offensive".
