Fully agree, however consider the hotspot being called "fuck israel" on a plane half full of Hasidic Jews (the ones refusing to board because they're still praying and knocking their head against the wall, and refuse to sit next to women).

Or the hotspot's called something about Allah and porkchops on a flight to S-Arabia.

Or something about "fuck PSG" when there's 20 hooligans on board (these guys destroy their own city even when things go right for them)

Freedom of expression yes but these things are completely misplaced in that context. It's unnecessarily provocative in a tight confined space. It's a recipe for unrest during the flight, something nobody wants and the captain is right to call out.
