How can something always be disrespectful?

The recent discussion about swear words has shown me that some people believe that certain things are always disrespectful, bar none, no exceptions, it doesn’t matter who you’re around.

I do not agree with that at all. I think it completely depends on who you are around. Most people say it’s disrespectful to call adults by their first names. Well, what if the adult wishes to be called by their first name? In that case, I think it would be disrespectful not to call them what they want to be called.

Same goes for swear words and other offensive terms. I wouldn’t say those things in front of just anybody because I know that not everyone feels the same way I do about them. But if I am with my friends or family and they are okay with it, why would it be considered “disrespectful”? To me, “disrespectful” is completely subjective and variant to the conditions surrounding the activity in question. It isn’t an absolute thing that has no exceptions.
