Agree re most people typically just pick the thing that sounds good or that fits the common social truth in their social circle. I would add people also don't think through second order effects. They aren't thinking "...well if I accept this position then I should accept x and y and z also." They also arent thinking "if x happens then people will react with y." There is also some fear of other people's freedom going on with this kind of thing, you want to be free to speak your mind on what you think is edgy but you don't want to hear something that you find offensive. For me personally it's normal that in a workplace your behavior is going to be constrained in exchange for money. If you are going around upsetting other employees that will hurt the firms ability to work on projects and keep and retain talent. Even if it were not a legal issue I think many firms would still fire people for certain kinds of speech for that reason.
