The hierarchy of offensiveness seems weird

I was initially of the same opinion, but actually, which of those would you be most offended to be called? I wonder if that's the scale they're using?

    I absolutely get where you're coming from, in the sense that being called a pedophile is way more damningly offensive than simply being a cunty cocksucker, for example.

    It does seem like a derived scale though if that's the intent, like they're ranking the actionability or capacity of the word to offend rather than the "how bad is this to say on network TV" level of offensiveness I'd expect.
