My attitude is this, and what I shared with the team when I was an active member:

EB is not trying to make a political statement, or thumb its collective nose at the establishment. EB is simply making a mod for our, and everyone's, enjoyment.

Things that are offensive, for whatever reason, will either not be included or be an optional inclusion. It really is that simple. Many different justifications may be used for their inclusion, and many invalid assumptions about what kind of statement we make when we don't include them might be found, but in the end it really is simple.

If people will be greatly offended by it, regardless of why, it either isn't included or is optional.

Any further philosophical or sociological discussion is just that, discussion for the sake of discussion and is outside the scope of what EB is.
